I've known how to "braid and twist" hair practically my entire life. I started doing my cousins hair when I was about nine or ten (maybe younger). Now that my routine includes three little heads in the morning, I'm realizing that I've never learned how to properly care for hair. And to complicate matters further, I’ve decided that I want to transition to natural. My last chemical application was October 2008...yeah for me. So, my daily regime includes styling my three J’s hair and trying to find styles that work for me as well.
JC has a totally different texture than her younger two sisters. She and I both have 4b hair according to Andre Walker’s hair typing system, which admittedly has flaws. JA & JB have 4a hair and have a much longer length than JC. So, I admittedly struggle with products to use on their hair that will work for all three. Currently, JCs hair is in a very cute braided “protective” style as I’m working on making sure her hair remains healthy. The other two are sporting a combination of ponytail twists with Bantu knots.
Are there other moms that have the same struggles as I? Please advise how you get through your daily routines.
Until then,
