Hiya Ladies,
How's it going?!! I have been thoroughly enjoying caring for Mimi's hair and I am so happy with it and I think she is too!! *wide grin*






This was her hair at birth!!




And then 3 Months-

Then at 6 months-







 LOOK AT US NOW at 14 MONTHS!!!








 I share in depth most of the tips on caring for her hair in a JOURNAL that is currently with publishers called 'MY FIRST HAIR- A Mother's guide to growing a child's hair from birth to her first birthday and beyond.'





I gave the manuscript to 5 new mums with daughters at the end of last year and the feed back has been awesome!! 
Here's a transcript from +Gogo Amanambu who just had a baby girl at the end of last year! 

 Thank you so much for the manuscript. I loved reading through it. In fact I think I have read it 3 times in total. I love how straight to the point it is because to be honest I don't have time to read anything long anymore. I have to fight to read my Bible. My experience with cradle cap is that coconut oil does a better job than olive oil. In fact the health visitors here recommend it...with my first it was so bad and I wanted to buy dentinox and they said to try coconut oil first and it was gone in like 3 days....I now swear by it I have been following your tips and I see her curls are not as dry anymore and are looking as juicy as when she was born...

This and the other reviews I have gotten have motivated me to really push my publishers to make the finished journal even better, PACKED with all the practical information you will ever need to grow out your baby's hair, plus I'd love for it to serve as a keepsake for your little girl so that when she grows up and flips through, she will see how much mummy cared for her hair and know that it is important to keep the tradition!!

Can't wait till the journal is finally ready! Thanks for all your support in advance!! Have a blessed weekend!!

Hiya Ladies,
As promised I am back with an update on Mimi's hair.  She turned 6 months old on the 22nd of June which was also my Hubby's birthday. so double celebration!! God is good!


I treated her to a photo shoot-






For the shoot, I gave her hair a twist out, braided her hair into big braids earlier in the day with the Savvy Chic Whipped Shea butter and then loosened it just in time for the pictures.



My Mimi's hair is doing quite well, I still shampoo it once a week on Saturdays, we moisturize and seal daily with the Eden Body works  Berry kids hair pudding previously listed in this post-HERE and seal with the  Savvy Chic whipped Shea butter.  

I found that the back of her hair was threatening to start thinning out because of friction of her rubbing her hair against the pillow though the satin pillow case slowed down the process a whole lot, so I swung  into action and decided that leaving her hair out will only increase the chances of friction and dryness- cue protective styling!! 

During the week, we section her hair and put it in little buns especially the back, I can even leave the front and sides out but the back must be put in a bun to reduce the chances of friction and breakage.



I still hardly use a comb, mainly just finger detangle except on wash day while the conditioner is in her hair then I may use a big comb to help spread the conditioner evenly on her curly locks.

Mimi's hair texture is still largely 'Baby curls' but from the curls they look and feel I think her hair is going to be softer and more manageable than mine, fingers crossed and if not then I will force them to cooperate like I have done with my hair!

Hope you enjoyed the Pictures and have a great weekend!! My next post is a Check In Post- Half the year is gone, I need to know how everyone is faring and motivate those that need it.

Hiya,
Yes oh my country people, even Mitai gets hair updates on NHCG how else will I stay accountable!LOL

Anyways, ladies I'm just so happy that my little princess from the way it seems took my hair genes and I'm not about to let them go to waste!!







So far here are a few things I have been doing...

I use regular baby wash on her hair every day at bath time so I haven't introduced proper shampoo yet not for any particular reason though, I just haven't seen enough build up on her scalp to require shampooing.

I proceed to apply either the Savvy Chic whipped to perfection Shea butter which by the way now comes in family size 32oz tubs (as I Like to call them because now everyone from my boys to me and hubs uses them), I massage the whipped Shea butter onto her wet locks...










Or sometimes I will use a combination of R and R luxury Shea oil(love. It) on her scalp and then apply to the rest of her hair this Eden Body works coco Shea Berry curly Creme which is for kids but you know mama has to share everything, so I use it too!LOL






Finally, I finger detangle...I don't comb her hair during the week because no styling goes on then but at weekends I will comb and style but always with this wide tooth comb...





Another thing I've stuck to doing is always laying her hair on a satin covered pillow as she grew out of her satin lined beanie I made for her. So even when she is on her little mobile chair, the satin cap covers the little head rest that came with the chair...that's how much I believe in satin, it truly prevents friction and dryness which often leads to breakage! If you look closely at the back of Mimi's hair you can see it's still straight while the rest of her hair has curled up, well I've observed that the area that is straight right at the back tends to be dryer and so I've focused on moisturizing that area nightly before she sleeps even if she is sleeping on satin.






All in all I'm quite a happy mama and hope I stay that way as Mimi grows older, her next update will be when she is 6 months by God's grace....hopefully I'd have stopped shedding because right now I'm like a hair monster shedding BALLS OF HAIR guys, it's horrible...just look-





It's so hard to come to terms with the concept that all this shedding is normal and just nature taking it's course...

Oh well, rant over, post over...I'm presently editing really fun vlogs as I've had quite a busy past few weeks so stay tuned, my next vlog will be up here next weekend.

Thanks as always for stopping by!
