Our Washing Rountine



Since this is a hair care blog i figured i would add our washing routine for those that are curious out there.


1. Remove old hair style if they hair is in a style that needs to be taken down. If there black rubberbands involved i add a generous amount of olive oil the the rubberband and hair around the rubberband then cute the rubberband out making sure i dont pull on her hair and cause any breakage.


2. We move to the bathtub, i have a hand held shower head (the best investment yet!!!). I soak her hair down with water then apply a small amount (between nickel and quarter size) of dove intense damge shampoo to her scalp. I carefully wash her scalp (not her entire hair) then rinse out.


3. I apply a generous amount of herbal essences hello hydration conditoner to her hair (we go through a big bottle every two weeks between me and marz) and let it set for about fifteen minutes.


4. I begin detangling with my hands, work gentle and dont pull on hair. after i get the bigger tangles out i use a wide tooth comb to get the rest out. Most days detangling takes around 5-10 minutes.


5. I rinse half the conditioner out, not all of it. Marz hair tends to be dry and the extra conditioner doesnt hurt it.


6. I squeeze excess water out of her and pat dry with a cotton t-shirt (towels can be kind of harsh to curly hair)


7. if i dont style i part her hair down the middle and band it.

To Blog or Not To Blog


Well i got the random idea to start a blog about childrens hair care. I started doing some research. I found one really sucessful blog http://www.beadsbraidsbeyond.blogspot.com/ but that was it. So here i am starting my own little blog. If it will catch on im not sure. I guess ill start with a little about myself, im Loui (pronounced Low-E) im 20 years old. Im a photographer and college student, i also run a boutique that sells bows galore. Im mommy to Mari My'Angel, she will be 3 in July, you will see me refer to her as Marz alot. I've been doing african american and biracial hair since i was about 11 years old, so for almost a decade. Im mixed (jamaican, puerto rican, hugarian, and irish) Marz is mixed with all those plus indian, itailian, and african american. She is the true definition of a mixed baby.
