Arianna's hair September 6

Look how her ends curl up

I recently changed a few thing in Arianna's regimen and i will post an update on it soon

I'm getting better at cornrowing

August 27 ...1 weeks after first learning to braid .. i only braided her hair like 2 other times

The day I learned to corn row

I learned how to corn row August 17,2013 .. I'm so excited, I been braiding arianna's hair and I getting better at it 😊, I'm proud of myself because I had to learn to braid the complete opposite way. Go me lol and yayy for protective styling !!!

I did box braids in front of arianna hair about 4 days ago (friday),
im going to take them out in about 10 more days that way she had them in for 2 weeks. I noticed that arianna edges are thinner, I think its because she pulls out any hair ties I put in her hair. Anytime I put a bobo in her hair I have to take it out before she lays down to drink her bottle because she plays with her hair. I will not comb her hair while her hair is wet, maybe when she gets older her hair will be stronger but for now, I keep it in protective style without alot of bobos, maybe banding while she has box braids

Sister twist + banning

Ari bun

Washed & protective style

I brought goody ouchless ponytail holders, tea tree oil and jojoba oil ..her protective styling for the next few days banding after washing and moisturizing

Redoing arianna's protective style

19months in 3 days

Plans for our new routine - 18 months

Arianna wash day is going to be sundays, i washed her hair on july 3rd and styled it on july 5th.. Hopefully this style last until next week , if not I'll wash it on sunday. I have to go get some tea tree oil for her scalp, so can give her a 5 minute scalp massage once a week with oil. Plans -Saturdays give 5 minute scalp massages with tea tree oil -Cover her hair in oil/2 ponytails w/ banding -Sunday Wash scalp w/shampoo -condition whole head with coconut milk -finger detangle w/cowash -rinse/sections -moisturize with leave-in and seal with coconut oil then banding -Monday style ,maybe? I hope see a lot of health and growth by her 2nd birthday in 5 months :)

In search of healthy curly curls..

Arianna hair was when she was born was fine and silky and now 18 months later her hair is longer, curlier and drier. For the first year of her life i was getting by just using baby lotion, baby oil and baby body wash but now her hair is crying out for more. Now I'm in search of a new and improved hair care regimen- Come along on this search with us... I'm learning curly hair and I'm researching so i can know everything there is to know about our hair. I know there's parents who needs help but don't really know where to search because I'm one of them. I'm grateful for anything i learn that's going to be help in this journey called 'Arianna's curly curls'. I just started a new routine on Arianna's hair using tips i learned from Youtube. I'm not sure that going to be her routine yet but I'll give it month and if her curls are more moisturized then we'll stick to it for awhile. I only did it once and I'll do it again in next week: I made a homemade avocado mask and i put it in her hair for 3-5 minute then i shampoo'd her scalp with garnier fructis fortifying daily care 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner and then I conditioner with Organix Nourishing Coconut Milk Conditioner (finger detangle) . I let her hair Air-dry then I applied Cantu Shea Butter Leave In Conditioning Hair Repair Cream and Spectrum Essentials Coconut Oil, Organic, Unrefined and I applied a tiny bit of extra virgin olive oil on her tips. I put all her hair in a High ponytail and off to bed she went. I'm going to try it a couple more times and i'll update on my thoughts on that routine. To be continued .....
