What works for one does not work for the other.<br /><br />For one child, water and oil works miracles but for the other water wreaks havoc.<br /><br />People can be so malicious in their comments because it's all said online.

One daughter has very thick, thick coarse hair. It took a stylist 3 hours recently to wash, trim and straighten her hair with a hair dryer and then a flat iron. <br /><br />I now wash her hair with Pantene women of color and then spray it with Silken Child detangler. I comb it out and take a hair dryer w/a pic through it section by section to straighten it. I also use some Morrocan oil after I'm done. Her hair is so much easier and softer to handle then it ever was by doing all this. <br />I no longer use the oil and water mixture since I straighten it with the hair dryer and water erases that straightness. The dryer doesn't make it straight straight but it's enough that it combs so nicely!!! Before this I spent hours and hours getting her hair combed out and styled. It was beautiful curls but the tangling it did wasn't so beautiful and she wants to keep her long hair!<br /><br />The Morrocan oil is very expensive but it lasts a long time. It doesn't leave residue in the hair and it doesn't stain your clothing. When you put it on the hair, it is instantly absorbed! Even though I used a styling cape, with many of the other products I used, I still managed to stain alot of clothing, especialy with the water & oil mixture.<br /><br />I really hated that doing their hair was so difficult for me. We adopted them at the age of 5 & 6 and they had enough issues without having a mom who couldn't handle their hair. I'm so glad I took them to the hair stylist one time and she really helped. I had taken a class and done much research early on but what I do now sure is working so much better and isn't near as stressful for me anymore.<br /><br />You have beautiful daughters!!!<br />Blessings!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3199940726003437570.post-24604697116847365582009-06-13T17:53:52.059-07:002009-06-13T17:53:52.059-07:00Donetta, that is such a good idea!

My older girls are patient thankfully and yes I know that feeling about needing to take a break after doing a head of hair :0)<br /><br />DeNiece, thanks so much for your sweet comment! Do you do your girls hair yourself? I saw a photo you had up once of your girls are they are so pretty, their hair looks so nice. You have such a beautiful family.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01257608688023328710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3199940726003437570.post-47897662373330780812009-06-13T16:40:26.856-07:002009-06-13T16:40:26.856-07:00I think their hair is just beautiful and who ever ...I think their hair is just beautiful and who ever left the comment about you not doing their hair must do not have girls that they have to do their hair, I too struggle with keeping my hair and my two girls hair done and they are not biracial, it is easy for my boys my hubby just takes them to get a haircut every other Friday. So I think you are doing a wonderful job especially since you have your hair to keep up along with four girls with a head full of hair too, you are a wonderful mother and please keep up the great job.

My daughter is special needs and HA...Hello Michelle<br />My daughter is special needs and HATES her head or hair touched as does my son They have sensory issues from infancy in an orphanage. <br />Any how my girls hair gets matted and that is just enough and yet she is just refused of help an a dailiy basis. I was in the shower last week praying in all but tears and then I saw it!<br />I told her the plan and she willingly walked into it. I told her I had been praying and saw this...<br />I gave her some kids Tylenol and then 20 minutes later set up in front of the TV with her straddling my knees. She was a little below me. With a towel around her shoulders I soaked her head with infussium leave in and then clipped a few section at a time. I just worked out a little and told her that when she is tired to tell me. Then I would move over to another section. <br />NO TEARS OR SQUIRMING!<br />She was happy, felt so much better about herself. She even combed it two times a day all week. <br />Her hands can not hold a comb well so it only gets the top layers often. <br />Now hearing your tail I think holly molly! That was easy for me when you have it times four. <br />I hope that they are more patient. It must be so trying to finish one and yet have a few more to do. <br />After I finish Dove I feel like a nap or a walk to relax.Donettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530145585581721795noreply@blogger.com
