Kids Haircare & the girls

October 26, 2019 by Moumous |

Hi everyone,

Today I want to talk about kids hair care. Some of my IG followers asked about the daily hair care routine for my daughters. So I figured why not make a post on the subject and and have some fun with the girls while we are at it. I can feel that this is going to be a long one given of how passionate I can be about hair care.

If it is not your intention to read this long post here’s one sentence that says it all: “Stick
to the Basics for Black Children’s Hair”

A toddler doesn’t need the volume of products
on her hair that her mother might. There’s little to no need for gel, pomade or
curl-enhancers. Instead, let a child’s hair flourish on its own with a daily
brushing (with soft-bristle brushes), combing and a small amount of hair oil or
conditioner. A spritz from a water bottle can help work through tangles if
necessary. To finish off the style, one or two barrettes is fine.

All your little one needs in terms of hair
care right now is the following:

  • Shampoo
  • Conditioner
  • Regular
    detangling with a wide-tooth comb
  • Light
    product application: oils such as jojoba or coconut make good options

What
to Avoid When Styling Kids’ Hair

  • Metal
    accessories
  • Tight
    styling
  • Extensions
  • Rubber
    bands
  • A
    heap of product
  • Heavy,
    goopy products
  • Relaxers
    and other chemical processes

Young scalps are still developing, and a
child’s true hair texture may not reveal itself until he or she is at least
eight years-old. If a tender head is subject to harsh treatment on a daily
basis (including chemicals), it’s possible that a child’s hair will be
permanently damaged, leading to hair loss.

Addison Hair Care Regimen

With that said, I do not have a defined hair care regimen for my youngest daughter, Addison (or for her twin brother). I use her regular Biolane body & hair wash, some homemade leave-in conditioner and occasionally some light gel to better define her curl patterns. For now, her hair type is: 3C.

Addison daily moisturizer is homemade by mommy with love and the list of ingredients is as follow: water, organic oil, cold pressed and unrefined (olive, coconut or sweet almond) , Cantu Kids Care detangling leave-in conditioner and  glycerin. That mixture is used as needed (few times a day).

Aubrey Hair Care Regimen

My first born had an afro-head  for the first 3 year because she had an habit of pulling them her hair off her head. So I was cutting her hair on a regular basis. I started to grow out her hair after that she turned 4  and expressed the need of having longer hair. She is now 5 years old. At the moment, I can say  her hair type is 4B.

Aubrey Hair Care Products (she’s also using my homemade leave-in conditioner)

Product details: 
Mielle Tinystots set (available here)
Mielle Organics Mongongo Oil hydrating  conditioner (available here)
Luster’s curl activator moisturizer (available here)

Also included in her rotation

Product details:
The Mane Choice kids moisturizer (available here)
Olive oil girls ORS leave-in conditioning detangler (available here) I also like to use the Cantu kids care conditioning detangler (available here)
Organic Almond Oil – cold pressed & unrefined (available here)
Extra virgin Coconut – cold pressed & unrefined (available here) 

 From 8 years old and above, my advices would be:

  • Moisturize hair everyday. Use a true moisturizer that has water as 1st or 2nd ingredient.
  • Seal in moisture with an oil like Shea butter, castor oil, or avocado oil. (avocado oil)
  • Trim regularly.
  • No heat.
  • Deep condition regularly.
  • Use natural homemade Prepoo
  • Hair vitamins if needed
  •  Protective styles every day 

In conclusion: Treat
Your Child’s Hair Gently 

Your baby/toddler’s hair will grow and flourish if mostly
left to its own devices. Use gentle shampoos and products targeted toward
little heads if desired. Take your time when combing or brushing. For babies, under 4 years old, beyond a
little water and oil, you don’t need to do much else to it. Before you know it,
your son or daughter will have a head full of hair that you can then braid,
plait, cut into cute styles and accessorize.

When young kids’ manes are subjected to harsh
practices and processes, problems usually occur as a result. This can be
anything from minor annoyances like excess breakage to major issues like sparse
edges. S
tart kids out on the right foot by treating
their tresses with love and gentle care; healthy hair and growth will follow. Also, remember that an healthy diet play a major role in your little one’s hair care. A kid must have a varied, diversified and nutritious diet full of protein, fruits, vegetables, grains and dairy. And don’t forget to ensure that he/she’s drinking enough water for her age.

So do you have a define hair care regimen for your daughter or toddler boy? Any struggles? What are your favorites hair products for kids? Please comment below as I would love to know how you take care of your kid’s hair.


Thanks for stopping by.


XoXo,

Moumous

Mother’s Day Reflection 💐 Today, I’m just Mother’s Day Reflection 💐

Today, I’m just sitting in gratitude for the blessing of experiencing motherhood. I may not be the perfect mom, but I’ve somehow been trusted with the greatest kids — and that’s more than enough.
They keep surprising me, making me proud, and showing me love in ways that melt my heart.

Last night, Aby told me that her friends always say she’s lucky to have a cool mom. I smiled and told her, “You make it so easy for me.” She looked at me and said, “I’m just grateful for the greatest mom.”

Who’s cutting onions? 😭💕

To every mom out there — whether by blood, by choice, or by love — Happy Mother’s Day. You’re doing more than you think, and you are appreciated more than you know. 💛
