Hiya Ladies,
So a few Saturdays ago, on Children's Day, I hosted a Mommy & Me party to officially launch the hair care journal I wrote for babies based on my experience caring for Mimi's hair.

Speakers Oluchi of MunaandLuchi- hair care coach, Kelechi of Yellow Sisi Natural hair salon talked about hair care and grooming for kids from an early age, Fabila of Fabila's fitness talked about how she lost her post baby weight with Zumba, see her class schedule HERE and Wura of Wura's Secret Hair shared the journey to her kid's line of hair products.  It was a truly insightful time, thanks to all the yummy mummies who took out time to bring their babies for the event!!


Enjoy the pictures below;
































MY FIRST HAIR ( Hair grooming journal for babies and beyond) costs N3800 and can be purchased HERE, Abuja Mummies can purchase from Lois Loft- Suite B15, Shakir Plaza, Area 11, Garki, Abuja. Calabar Mummies hit up Kids Mini Closet on Instagram so you skip the shipping cost. 


Thank you all for the support ladies, already gearing up for my next event in a few weeks, this time EVERYONE will be included!! Can't Wait!!


Have a wonderful weekend!!

Hiya Ladies,
I am here to bring you my first product review of the year!!! Natural Nigerian is a proudly Nigerian brand that has produced many of my favorite hair and skin care products!! I attended a hair meet up for the first time many years ago organized by them, bought my first bottle of JBCO at that meet up and got to meet and mingle with fellow hair fanatics for the first time in Nigeria...since then lets just say I am loyal!!

NN has evolved from just selling natural based products to making them!! #GROWTH!! When I saw her latest addition was a kit for babies I knew I had to get one!!! Been using the products on my Mimi since I got them.


Here's my  review of the products;

First, I like the packaging!!! The colors are very in line with the baby theme. Wish the sizes were bigger though!!

Cost- N5000

The kit contains;

                            1 Baby wash 13.5oz
                            1 Baby  Lotion 13.5oz
                            1 Baby oil 1.7oz

The Baby Wash with Red Acalypha and Nettle. Ingredients also include Cocoa pod, Ash, Water, Shea Butter, Palm Kernel oil, Aloe Vera juice, vegetable glycerin and red grapefruit.




I like how Mimi's skin felt after I used this, clean but not squeaky clean to the point where her skin feels dry!! It has a citrus smell which is nice and not over bearing, it doesn't foam up tremendously which I don't mind...my only little critic would be that it is not 'tear free'. When I washed Mimi's face with it and a little of it got in her eyes she started itching vigorously till I washed it out, so I would advice to just wipe around the face region and be mindful of the eyes when using this wash.


The Baby Lotion contains Red acalypha and nettle (herbs), coconut oil, aloe vera, shea butter, cetyl alcohol, salicylic acid...




I found the lotion quite moisturizing on Mimi's skin which tends to be dry. It has a mild vanilla scent and has an off white color look to it which I don't mind. Here my only little critic is that it was very watery when I initially got it and hardened up after a few days I guess because it contains shea butter and coconut oil which are sensitive to heat/cold...this however made it quite difficult for the lotion to pass through the pump and I ended up having to open the pump and force the product out several times, based on it's consistency, I would have preferred if it was in a tub.

The Baby Oil with Calendula also contains Chamomile oil, red acalypha oil, stinging nettle oil, coconut oil, vitamin E, Tea Tree oil, Lavender oil. 


This Oil is colorless and has a mild mix of palm kernel scent with Lavender scent. I liked it because it did not just sit on her skin, It got absorbed as expected because the bottle says it contains NO MINERAL OIL and NO SYNTHETIC OIL or fragrances. I use it especially on her legs and feet and I have found it quite handy in her diaper bag because of it's size. 



After Bath Time comes Bed Time!!! Mimi and I are rocking our SAVVY CHIC SATIN SLEEP CAPS!!!


All in All, I think NN has done an excellent job with this. I purchased this kit with my own money and was not compensated for this review so you can be rest assured that every opinion I have written above is my authentic view ladies!!



Have any of you tried this Kit? Feel free to share your thoughts below!!


 WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE PRODUCT TO USE FOR YOUR BABY? 

















Hiya Ladies,
How is everyone doing? Hope well!! This post is all about my Mimi baby!! She knew what she signed up for when she agreed to come down from heaven and be my daughter!! LOL!!!

Well this past Saturday I made my first concoction for her hair it was a moisture treatment, I came up with a special blend which I will share soon, just know it contains Honey :)



I also used the savvy chic ultimate grow scalp massager to massage her scalp gently while the DC mix was on her hair, used cling film for a Saran Wrap then covered her head with her satin cap...


Proceeded to rinse it out after 30 minutes which surprisingly passed by quickly without her fussing too much save for the initial confusion she had while I wrapped her head with the cling film.

We proceeded to air dry and then moisturized, sealed and styled!!





HAPPY BABY HAIR!!




I'll have a short clip of the process on Instagram tomorrow. Hope mums are encouraged to care for their little princesses hair with these posts.

Hiya,
Is it just me or this year has flown by so quickly!! I have been so busy lately and have a few exciting announcements to make soon but in the mean time I'm here to write about my Mimi's hair journey.





Nothing much has changed in terms of routine and the products I've been using but in terms of styling, I've found that as her hair has grown longer, I've been more adventurous and at the same time, because it tangles more I've had to be very careful while I detangle and style.



So we shampoo and condition her hair every weekend, I only style her hair while damp, still use mainly my fingers and a wide tooth comb if needed. I have kept up sealing with the Savvy and Chic Shea butter cups which make her curls so defined and beautiful...I'm kinda obsessed with her curls to be honest.




Her hair can now pack into 1 ponytail even though I try not to make that her go to style as I am preserving her edges, my favorite styles for her hair are flat twists,pigtails and fro hawks.






Around the 6 months mark the very back of her hair started to give way like most babies but hers happened much later thanks to using satin pillowcases, as soon as I noticed the dryness and breakage I swung into action and made sure we always covered that part of her hair by holding her hair into a ponytail right at the spot to cover that area(kind of hard to explain but I'm sure you get my drift )... So the friction around that spot reduced since it was no longer exposed and now the hair there has began to recover....



That's all for now, Mimi's hair is growing and that makes me very happy.

Feel free to ask any questions regarding growing little girls hair below.

Have a blessed week.

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.
