So you never miss another video with that being said, family, let's get into the video compilation, hi family. Welcome back to the channel! Thank you so much for coming back. Today'S video is going to be a detailed start to finish wash day, hair routine for little miss nadia, i'm going to be showing you how i get her hair from this to this. A lot of you guys have been sending me messages asking me how i'm able to moisturize and detangle baby nadia's hair aloe vera has become the most important part of our hair routine. So in this video i will be showing you step by step, how i'm able to use the aloe vera to not only detangle baby, not his hair, but to also make the oil treatments for her hair and her scalp to help her hair grow. Okay, family. Let'S get started here, as you can see. I have my fresh aloe vera here. A lot of you guys have been asking me where i get my aloe vera from you can get these fresh aloe veras from most grocery stores, including kroger walmart, and a lot of other local grocery stores. As for me, i usually get mine from a hispanic store that is close to my house. This particular aloe vera. I'Ve actually had in the refrigerator for about a week. It doesn't go bad, really, quick. You can actually have this for about three weeks to a month. So what i'm doing here is i'm gon na cut my aloe vera into small pieces and then once i'm done with that, i'm gon na then take the aloe vera and split it into two separate pieces. That way, it's easy to scoop out the aloe vera and put it in a cup or a bowl. So that is just what i'm doing here, i'm only using this clear bowl. So you guys can see exactly what i'm doing, but you can use any cup or any bowl, so i'm scooping out the aloe vera making sure to get everything out so that i don't waste it. Also. A lot of you guys ask me what i do with the parts like the green part. I don't know what that's called my mom uses it for her medicine. I will be sure to ask her what she uses them for and then i'll. Let you guys know in the next video okay, so after scooping everything out, i'm not going to blend it, but what i'm going to do is i'm going to use a sifter to sift the aloe vera juice, so i like to squeeze it with my hands just To make sure that i create a lot of juice so that it's easy to sift out also when you put the aloe vera in the sifter, if you let it sit there for a few minutes, all the juice comes out, but if you're in a rush, then You can squeeze it, but if you really want to get all the juice out just place the aloe vera in the sifter and let it sit there for about five to ten minutes and all the juice comes out and a lot of you guys ask me if I add water to my aloe vera juice. The answer to that is, no, i don't add any water. The thing with the aloe vera is, although it is slippery at first, if you let it sit for a few minutes, it becomes more watery than slippery. That is how you're able to spray onto your hair. You do not need to add water to it. Okay, so after i let it sit for a while, i'm going to then take this spray bottle, use my funnel to get the aloe vera juice into the funnel. So that i can be able to spray it okay, family, let's move on to the making of the oil. I have my pot on the stove. I have the stove on medium. I'M just gon na go ahead and add my ingredients you can see here. I have my organic coconut oil. I also have my olive oil, i'm gon na. Add them both to the pot and let it sit here for about 10 minutes and if i forgot to tell you guys this is the exact same process that i would use for. My hair to make the aloe vera oil and detangler for my hair and my daughter's hair, so the process applied to an adult hair as well. I'M gon na then take the strainer again strain. The oil out then put it in this small little container. So it's easy to use for my daughter's hair, okay. So now moving on to the fun part, this is baby nadia's hair. She has it in small little rubber bands, because i found that the braids hurt a little bit, but the rubber bands are easy to just cut with the scissors and it doesn't hurt her at all and to be honest, nadia is very tender headed because, as you Can see again she has a lot of hair and it gets a little dry which makes it hard to comb or style, but the aloe vera has come in very handy because it makes detangling very, very easy. You will see here that the whole time i'm combing and detangling her hair. She does not cry at all, because the slipperiness of the aloe vera makes it easy for the comb to glide right through her hair, and i'm also able to then use the brush to detangle her hair and look how easy this is. The brush goes right through her hair, as if i'm not even combing or brushing it, and she just sits there and play this - has honestly been a lifesaver for me and my daughter's hair, i'm just doing the same process, combing it out and then brushing it out To further define it so for those of you who wanted to know what shampoo i use for my baby's hair, i use the avino baby. This is both for body and for hair. So this time i'm actually going to wash the aloe vera out because i used it as a detangler and not as a leave-in conditioner this time. So after i wash it out, i'm going to use the rubber band and this comb to style her hair. Now i'm going to use the oil to oil, her scalp and her hair, making sure to get her scalp really well and get the ends of her hair as well. This treatment has been very helpful for baby nada's hair because i believe that it is really helping not only grow her hair healthy but also thick as well, and it also makes the wash day process very easy. So i'm just going to use this rubber band to style her hair. As i said, it's easy for me to use the rubber band to style her hair, because i can just cut it out if it's too tight or i can cut it out once it's time to wash your hair again and for those of you guys who were Asking how often i do this i like to do this once a week, but i can do it up to twice a week depending on what the weather is. It is currently winter time, so i prefer to do it once a week. Her hair gets dry. Really quick, so i prefer to do it once a week that way, i'm not over processing her hair and that way, i'm also not letting her hair go too long without washing and moisturizing. Okay, guys, we are all done, as you saw. This was an easy wash day routine. There was no tears involved. Baby nadia played the whole time. It was a really easy process. So i encourage you guys to try it out for not only your kids hair, but for your hair and your sons and husbands here as well. Thank you guys again so much for watching. If you haven't already subscribed to the channel, please go ahead and hit the subscribe button, so you'll join the family and also hit the bell notification button. So you never miss another video again hi family welcome back to the channel. Today'S video is going to be all about how i've used aloe vera and my special blend of oils to grow my daughter's hair from a little bit of hair to a healthy, thick, beautiful, head full of hair. So if you want to see how i did this, then please continue to watch. Hi says wash day for those of you who have followed me for a while. You know that this is the only method that i have used for my daughter's hair from the time she was really little. I actually started using aloe vera and my blend of oils on nadia's hair when she was about six months old. This is her at seven months old, her afro is cute and healthy. This is her at eight months old. This is also her at 9 months old. This is her at 12 months old. This is her at 14 months old, and this is her at 18 months. Old current days, this is the only method that i have used successfully to care for my daughter's hair. This is the same exact method that i also use on my own hair to grow thick long hair. So in today's video i'm going to be showing you nadia's full wash day routine, how i moisturize oil and style her hair on a weekly basis to keep her hair thick healthy and long. So the first thing i always do is, of course, make the aloe vera juice, and this process is the same, whether it's for a baby or an adult - and you guys have seen me - do this a ton of times. So all i do is i grab my aloe vera cut them into pieces, rinse them off with warm water, split the aloe vera into two pieces and scoop them out for those of you who sometimes ask why my aloe vera looks pink. That is because sometimes certain leaves of aloe vera have this tint to it, and it makes the juice look pink. If you see that in your aloe vera, it doesn't mean that it is bad. That is just how some aloe veras look. So since i'm using this for nadia's hair, i'm going to go ahead and use a strainer to get only the juice out so that it's easy to apply to her hair. So this is what our juice looks like it's nice and pink. As i said so anyways. I'M going to be using these clips to clip her hair out of the way, as i always say, please make sure that the kids are distracted, so maybe give them a snack give them their favorite games, their favorite toys or their favorite device. That way, it keeps them distracted and you're going to be able to do your job. As you can see, her hair is dry and it's definitely ready for a wash day. So all i'm going to do here is i'm going to use my hands to scoop the aloe vera. Rub it onto her hair to use it as a detangler. This works instantly. It automatically makes the hair soft and because of the slipperiness, it makes the detangling process very, very easy. So after i make sure to rub the aloe vera on her hair, i then take a wide tooth comb or a detangling brush and start to detangle again. This is easy, quick and painless, so i'm just going to move on to the next section here, i'm going to use the same exact process to apply the aloe vera to her hair. After that, i'm going to take the rest of the aloe vera and apply it to her hair. And then i'm going to grab my comb and make sure that all her hair is detangled. And then i'm going to take a plastic wrap or a shower cap and cover her hair for about 10 to 20 minutes. That is only if she keeps the shower cap on. Sometimes she takes it off, but the longer the aloe vera stays in her hair. The better, so i just use that process as a pre-poo, then after that i'm gon na wash her hair nadia likes this tub. She likes to play in it as she gets her bath or as she gets her hair washed. So that is why i'm using it - and i'm sorry about the angle of this clip, but this is the best way i could get the camera to not only focus but to stay still and also protect it from nadia spilling water on it. Anyways, all i'm using here is her aveeno baby shampoo. This is what i use to wash her hair. I'M also going to use the aveeno baby conditioner to condition her hair and then, after that, i'm going to let her play a little bit and then i'll take her out of the tub and give her her shower. Yes, so in order to make the drying process a little easier, i'm just going to braid her hair in three big sections and let it air dry after that, i'm gon na. Let her play a little bit, give her her shower, get her dressed and then we'll move on to the final step. So all i'm doing here is taking the braids out. So, as you can see, her hair is dried and it's also stretched out. So all i'm going to do is i'm going to take my blend of oils, and this is aloe vera oil with a little bit of jamaican black, castor oil added to it. So all i'm going to do is again i'm going to use my finger to get the oil and apply it to her hair and her scalp, massage it in and twist it back up now for this step you can either twist it braid it or do cornrows It is all up to you, i like to use these little hair ties because they are easy to cut off when it's time to take her hair out. Please do not use rubber bands, because rubber bands will eat your baby's edges. I tried it before in the past because i didn't know any better and it damaged my daughter's edges. So i only use these little hair ties from the dollar tree and, like i said this process is repeated every week. This is the only method that i have used successfully to care for my daughter's hair. So if you have a daughter or if you are trying to grow your own hair, this method is going to help. You do just that. Please show nadia some love by giving this video a big thumbs up all right family. That is it for today's video. I hope you enjoyed it. If you did, please show nadia some love by giving this video a big thumbs up. If this video gets to 10 000 likes, i'm going to make nadia's rice water wash day routine. Thank you guys again so much for watching. I love you guys and i'll see you guys in my next one bye, hi family, welcome back to the channel. Today'S video is going to be all about my daughter's rice water wash day routine. I'M going to be showing you exactly how i use rex water to grow my daughter's hair, i'm going to be walking you step by step through my rice, water wash day routine, and i'm also going to be answering a lot of your most commonly asked questions. So if you would like to know how you can use rice water to grow your hair or your child's hair, then please continue to watch now. I have done a lot of rice, water videos. I'Ve also showed you guys exactly how to prepare the rice water, whether it's plain rice, water, fermented, rice, water or the yellow women rice water. But i can almost guarantee that i'm gon na get a lot of questions about how to make the rice, water and i get it. People are lazy, but don't worry, i'm lazy too, and i realized that not everyone has seen all of my videos and i also realized that it is easier to see the whole process in one video than to go looking for it in other videos. So i'm going to quickly walk you through exactly how i prepare the rice water, so that you have no further questions, maybe all right, let's get into it. I have my rice and a clear bowl. I also have this measuring cup. It doesn't really matter the measurement. I just needed something to be able to scoop up the rice with, but in this case i will be using half a cup of rice and then i'm gon na go ahead and add my water to rinse off the rice. In this case, i'm also using warm water again, it doesn't really matter the measurement as long as you're, using enough water to rinse off your rice. So all i'm doing here is i'm just taking the rice and rubbing it through my fingers and between my hands just to get all the dirt debris and chemicals off the rice from when it was processed. This step is very important because you need to clean your rice in order to use it. So after i wash my rice, i'm just going to go ahead and drain off all the water and if you need to you, can rinse it as many times as you want. But in this case one time was enough for me. So now i'm just gon na go ahead and transfer my rice to my mason jar, the mason jar, is very important because you need something to be able to seal off your rice, so there is absolutely no interference from air to your rice. After that, i'm going to be using orange peel to try and mask the smell, because if you haven't heard before rice, water smells really bad after it's fermented so orange peels essential oils or anything that is going to be able to help you mask the smell is Very important in this case i'm going to use my orange peel, but this time i'm going to add some essential oil and the one i'm using this time is lavender oil. This smells absolutely amazing. So i'm just gon na put a few drops in it's up to you. How much you want to put in just make sure you're not putting too much in after that. I'M gon na seal up my rice, making sure that it is completely sealed, and this is what it looks like so now. What i'm gon na do is i'm gon na set it in a dark corner and let it sit there for one full week. I did say in nadia's previous wash day routine video that if you guys got it to 5 000 likes, i would be making the rice water version, and you did so. I want to say thank you, and here is the rice water version. It'S wash day. Are you ready to get your hair washed she's? Like i don't know, can you talk to mommy nadia, put your skirt down good job. Okay, it's been seven days, and this is our rice, water. I'M just gon na go ahead and open it up. Pour it into this bowl and then i'm going to go ahead and pick the orange peels out, but i just wanted to show you guys real quick, see how the orange peels look. They'Re, soft and mushy anyways. I'M just going to go ahead and pick each and every one of them out, so i just wanted to show you guys real, quick. What the rice looks like the rice is soft and when you squeeze it or rub it between your hands, it just creates this. Like powdery milky, look, this usually happens after the rice has been fermented for a very long time. Anyways, i'm just going to go ahead and transfer our rice into this tiny little spray bottle. For those of you who are going to ask, i got it from the dollar tree. I'M also going to be using this funnel, which i also got from the dollar tree, and this is what it looks like. So sometimes the rice particles like to settle to the bottom, but all you have to do - is shake it up and then spray it alright, so moving on to our actual wash routine. So i'm going to be using this tub and this protective mat to cover our wood. The reason i'm using this tub is because nadia likes this over the actual bathtub. For some reason, the sound of the water coming out of the faucet scares her. So i just like to use a basin in this tub to wash her hair, so i did go ahead and cut out the hair ties, and this is what her hair looks like. As you can see, it is definitely time for a wash all right, so i'm just gon na be putting this towel around her neck so that her clothes doesn't get saturated, as i spray her hair with the rice water. So i'm just leaving her hair in these sections, as this is an easy way for me to wash her hair. So i'm just gon na go one section at a time now. I must admit this little spray bottle was giving me a little bit of a hard time, so i just went ahead and took off the lid and poured the rice water onto her hair. So all i'm doing now is making sure to rub the rice water in her hair and on her scalp to make sure that we get everything. And then, after that, i'm just going to be using this tiny little shower cap that i actually found at the dollar tree. I'M just gon na use that to cover her hair and let her sit for about 10 to 15 minutes. So now this is what her hair looks like. So i'm just gon na go ahead and use this aveeno baby shampoo to wash her hair. Now i don't know if any of you have used rice water before, but rice water can smell really bad after it's fermented. She'S so curious about, what's going on back there and she's, also helping wash her hair nadia is super cute y'all. I just cannot stand it and she's such a good kid, especially when it comes to doing her hair. She just makes my life a little bit easier. Alright, so you want to make sure to really really wash the rice water out of your child's hair, because again rice water can be really really smelly. So you got ta get that out of your child's hair. So then, after that, i'm just gon na go ahead and start rinsing the shampoo out alright. So our next step is going to be to deep condition, i'm going to be using my function of beauty conditioner. If you don't get anything out of this video. This part is very, very important. Rice water is filled with protein, which is exactly why it is good for your hair, but if you're not careful, this can also be damaging to your hair. So because of the high protein content, it ends up making your hair super dry. In some cases, it ends up matting your hair up, especially if you're not washing your hair, the proper way i've actually made a video on how to properly wash your hair. If you haven't seen that i'm going to leave it down below, but back to my point because the rice water can be so drying, you need to reintroduce moisture back into your hair. So the best way to do that is to do a deep conditioner, and this is also the time i'm gon na detangle, her hair, i'm just gon na go ahead and cover her hair back up again this time to let the conditioner do its thing. So it's been about 10 minutes, i'm just gon na go ahead and take the shower cap off, and this is what her hair looks like it's much softer, and i can definitely tell that the moisture is back in by the way. I always use warm water to wash my hair and my daughter's hair, so i'm just washing the conditioner out of her hair and i'm also making sure that it is completely detangled. But as you can see, it is much easier to comb and brush through. So once i feel like her hair is completely clean. I'M not gon na wait until her hair is dry to replace moisture so for this i'm gon na be using my function of beauty, leave-in conditioner. So again, i'm gon na do this in sections i'm going to apply the leave-in conditioner and then i'm going to go ahead and braid it up. So after all, the sections are done. I'M just going to go ahead and let this air dry, as i give her her shower and also clean up all right. It'S been about an hour, and this is what miss nadia's hair looks like. As you can see, i let it completely air dry while it was in the braids, so i'm just going to go ahead and take the braids out here, and this is what her hair looks like out of the braids. Her hair feels very soft and it also feels strong, and this is what's going to promote the hair growth. So now i'm just going to go ahead and use my mix of oils to moisturize her scalp and her hair. So then, after i apply the oils, i'm just going to go ahead and braid her hair up just to stretch it out a little bit because, as you know, nadia is my child and just as my hair shrinks, so does hers. So the best way to give it the blow out look is to braid it up with some conditioner and some oils leave it in for a few hours or a few days and then take the braids out and then style it. So then, after a few hours, i just went ahead and put those little puffs back into nadia's hair. That is the easiest way that i've found to style her hair.

Thank you guys again so much for your love and support. I love you guys and i'll see you guys in my next one bye, hi family, welcome back to the channel. Thank you so much for coming back. Today'S video is going to be all about natural hair. I'M going to be showing you how to make my diy intense protein treatment with aloe vera, avocado and eggs, but this time we're going to do a carli, bead style. This treatment is not only great for damaged hair. It is also great at reviving your hair. After heat damage after chemical treatments, it also moisturizes your hair strengthens your hair, gives it a beautiful shine, but, most importantly, it's going to help your hair grow longer, thicker and healthier. I normally do this treatment for myself, but ever since the last time i did it a lot of you have been asking me to do it for my daughter's hair, so in today's video we're actually going to make and apply the treatment to my 23 month old Daughter'S hair - and i promise you after you see the results you are going to want to try this yourself. So if you want to see how this wonderful hair concoction is made, then please continue to watch all right family, let's get right into it. So these are the things you're going to need. You don't have to have everything on this list, just use what you have honestly, even if you have 50 of everything on here, you will be fine. I promise when i do this, i normally don't add honey or banana, but i'm gon na try this time to see how it works all right. So let's go ahead and get started here. All right. So first thing you're gon na need is an egg. You can use one or two and then you're going to need an avocado again, you can use one or two depending on how much hair you have. The next thing here is honey and this is optional and then the next thing is banana. As i said, i usually don't use banana, but again banana is great for a protein treatment, so we're going to use this. The next thing here is mayonnaise or mayo. This is also optional, because the avocado is going to give you the same effect as the mayo and then the next thing here is organic coconut oil. This one is kind of important, because coconut oil is great as a moisturizer. Next thing here is organic virgin olive oil and then, lastly, we're going to need our aloe vera. So in order to mix this and get the perfect blend, we are going to need a blender or a magic bullet. You can use either one all right, so we're just going to go ahead and open it up here and get it set. So first thing: we're going to add: is our avocado, so we're going to use a knife and a spoon to scoop it out. So first we're going to cut it open, and this is what it looks like, so we're just going to go ahead and scoop it out. So next thing we're going to need is our egg, our banana, our coconut oil and then we're gon na use. Two tablespoons of honey and then next we're gon na add our olive oil, so we're gon na use two tablespoons as well. Next thing, we're gon na add is our mayo. This one is optional, but i'm gon na use two tablespoons full and then after that, we're gon na add our aloe vera, so we're gon na cut off the till. The sharp edges split it into two and then scoop it out and here's what we have so now we're just gon na strain. It get only the fluid out like this all right and then we're gon na add it to our mixture. So this is what everything looks like: i'm just going to go ahead and put the lid back on screw it on, and this is what we have so now: let's go and blend it alright, so i'm going to be using this bowl to transfer our treatment, see How nice and creamy this look? I definitely like this method, usually when i do this or any kind of treatment. I usually only make enough for one day. I don't like to save it because, most times they go bad. So the next thing we're going to need is water, so i just like to use a spray bottle, a funnel and some warm water to spray onto my daughter's hair to help detangle her hair. So this is little bits, nadia she's, ready for her wash day. She has some snacks on there. She has her shows going so we're ready and i did go ahead and put a robe on her because it is winter time and it does get a little cold. So i just went ahead and doubled her clothes and then put a robe on her. So this is our spray bottle with the warm water in it. I'M just going to go ahead and spray it onto her hair and start taking it out with this rat tail. Comb alright, so once her hair is out, i'm gon na use the rest of our aloe vera juice just to help make her hair a little soft so that i can add the treatment. So this is what her hair looks like, after spraying, the water on now. I'M just gon na go ahead and apply the aloe vera and then we're going to add our intense protein treatment again. This is what our treatment looks like it's nice and smooth and ready to go. So i did go ahead and section off her hair in three parts, so i'm gon na do this part by part and i'm going to start with the back. I feel like detangling. Her hair beforehand was a great idea because it just makes her hair soft and makes it easy to apply the treatment. So, as you can see here, there was no problems whatsoever applying the treatment. Now, if you don't have aloe vera juice, you can just use your favorite detangler or you can use a leave-in conditioner in some warm water spray it onto your hair or your child's hair, and that should help you detangle the hair. Alright. So i'm just applying the treatment here, as you can see, we're on our last part. It'S nice and easy to deal with, and you guys look how much nadia's hair is growing. Her hair is getting longer and longer every single day, so mama's treatments are definitely working. So this is what her hair looks like. As you can see, it's really messy. So i'm glad i have that rope there, because if i had the towel she would have taken it off by now and because she's a baby, she does move around a lot and it does get a little messy. I'M just going to take this bonnet cover her hair for a while nida does not like washing her hair in the actual bathtub, because the sound of the water scares her. I don't know why, but she does not like it and it makes her cry. So i did get this tub from ikea and it was about five dollars, and this was one of the best things i've ever gotten from ikea, because nadia loves loves, loves this. So this is what her hair looks like and i'm sorry about the angle here once again, she's a kid. She moves around a lot, so it's gon na be a little shaky, but i'm just passing my fingers through to make sure there are no tangles and then i'm gon na go ahead and rinse out the avocado alright. So once the avocado is completely out, i'm going to go ahead and use this cream of nature. Sulfate free shampoo to wash your hair. So i'm just using my finger to scratch her scalp to make sure to get any dirt or built up on her scalp and make sure that it's clean, while the shampoo is still in her hair, i'm just going to go ahead and braid it up back into Those sections so that it doesn't tangle when i go to rinse it out. This is what nadia's hair looks like. It is nice and soft, and i'm sorry about the lighting here, but for some reason the camera got really blurry. But, yes, her hair is nice. Soft and clean so we're just going to go ahead and use our handy dandy, aloe vera growth oil to apply to nadia's hair. You guys know that i use this oil all the time on my hair and nadia's hair. I usually call it my magic wall, but now we have an actual name and an actual product, so that is what i'm doing here. I'M just massaging it into her hair, her scalp her ends and just everywhere. Then i'm going to go back in and section off her hair into four or five little sections, because this is how i prevent tangle. This is also how i stretch nadia's hair for the next hairstyle. This is also going to help the oil get in there and really do its thing. So, yes, i always always braid her hair right after i wash it. You don't want to wait too long to do this, because then the hair is going to get dry. It'S going to get tangled and it's going to be much much harder to deal with if you do like the video so far, please go ahead and hit the like button for my beautiful baby girl. So, as you can see here, i did use my finger to part through her hair because your part does not need to be perfect. The most important thing is to massage the scalp with the oil and to also braid it, so it doesn't get tangled. So after braiding it i'm just going to go ahead and use the dropper again put some drops of oil on her scalp, massage it in and just let her hair be. So this is the next day not his hair is all nice and clean, and now it's ready to go in any style, all right family. That is it for today's video.

These are the tips and tricks that i use on my hair and now my daughter's hair. Please make sure that your bell notifications are actually turned on, because a lot of my subscribers have actually been telling me that they have not been getting notifications all right family. Let'S get into number one the number one thing you want to do to your child's hair: to make sure that it's going to grow is to have a routine, so a routine can be anything you want it to be. You just have to look at your child's hair to determine what kind of routine you need. Just like you take time to care for your hair. By going to the salon or going to your, you know your neighbor, you want to kind of do the same thing to your child's hair. That is going to force you to pay attention to their hair. And if you come up with a great routine, which we're going to talk about a lot of things, you can do here in a second. But if you come up with a great routine for your child's hair, it is definitely going to grow. The second thing i want to talk about is something that a lot of us tend to overlook, so a lot of us wear: silk or satin bonnet when we sleep well, if you have a daughter that has hair again due to her hair, as you do to Yours because she has the exact same hair as you. So if you're going to use a satin, pillowcase or satin bonnet or satin hair wrap, you need to incorporate that into your child's hair as well. But let's say you have a child that is younger kind of like mine. I have a 18 month old, whatever i put on her hair. The first thing she wants to do is take it off, so the best thing you can do in this case is to either give them a satin, pillowcase or silk or satin bedding, so their little fitted sheet that can be silk or satin. That is what i've done for my daughter because, like i said, she keeps nothing on her hair that is going to help protect their hair at night. So i don't know if a lot of you know this, but a lot of times, one of the most common ways that kids tend to lose. Their hair is around their edges or in the back, so a silk or satin pillow case is going to help with that number three kind of relates to number one. A little bit. You need to have a wash routine for your daughter's hair or your son's hair, especially for us black people again, just like you have a routine, maybe you wash your hair, monthly or weekly or every two weeks. You need to do that for your daughter's hair as well. For me, i like to wash my daughter's hair every two weeks. This is going to vary for everyone, so if you're, the kind of parent that like to i don't know experiment with a lot of new products or put a lot of gel into your child's hair, or maybe you live in a dusty area. This is going to vary for everyone, but for me, like i said i like to do it every two weeks, i do all her treatments, i style it. Let it be, and then, at the two weeks mark i go ahead and wash it number four speaking of routines, you need to have some kind of treatment for your child's hair. Your child's hair is just as important as your hair, if you think they have nappy, hair or they're tender, headed guess where they get it from you, there's a great chance you or your spouse, or somebody in your family has nappy hair. So you have to keep that in mind, but anyways going back to the treatment. The two treatments that i have found are rice water and you guessed it aloe vera. So ever since my daughter was about, i want to say six months. That is when i really really started to pay attention to her hair, because that is also when i started to notice some shedding or some baldness, because here i am i'm natural, i'm all about my hair and now i have a daughter that has the same exact Hair as me, i couldn't just leave her and say: oh she's, a baby or she's a little girl, nothing's gon na happen. It'S just gon na. No, it's not gon na be magic. You got ta, take care of their hair too. The first thing i introduced to her hair was aloe vera because it's natural there are no negative side effects as far as i know, and it also grows hair like crazy. The next thing i introduced when she was about - i want to say nine months old was rice water, so i added rice water to her wash routine, because i saw that it was working for me. So i also added it to her wash routine, because i knew that it was going to work for her and, yes, it has worked for her. So, like i said every two weeks, i either do a rice water wash day routine or i'll. Do an aloe vera wash day routine. I haven't started doing both on the same day, just because i don't feel like i need to, but that is the method that i use. The next tip that i want to talk about. That is going to grow your child's hair like crazy, so this point might go on for a little bit, but let me just say something to you guys: if you have a baby, if you have a baby, that is one month two months three months, four months, Five months, six months, seven months even a year old, that child does not owe anybody anything when it comes to hair or anything at all. If anything, you are putting your insecurities on your baby and you need to stop that if that child has a little bit of hair, please let it be stop pulling it with rubber bands or the yarn threads or just anything, stop with the tight hairstyle. It'S not going to help your child's hair grow. It'S not going to show that your child has a lot of hair. It'S only going to further damage their sensitive hair and scalp. I will say that i'm not perfect, because when i had my daughter she did have some hair and i didn't know what to do with it, but i wanted to put some cute little bows on it. So a few times i did put the little um afro puffs in her hair, but i used rubber bands and i quickly realized that that was the worst thing to do, because it started to damage my daughter's hair. I didn't know any better. I did my research and i learned from it. There is a lot of things that you can use to make your baby look cute, but nothing that's going to cause tension or pain to your baby's hair. A lot of us can get into the um. I guess routine of trying to prove something to someone. You don't need to do that. Just okay! I think i've talked about this enough leave the baby's hair alone. If you have a daughter or a baby, that has you know little to no hair, you don't have to worry about this as much, but for those of you who have kids that have a lot of hair, like my daughter right now, a lot of them can Be very tender headed, and especially, if you know, if they have natural hair, it can tangle easily, which can cause them a lot of pain. So what i found even for myself is to section off my hair and either braid it or twist it when i wash it - and i started doing that to my daughter's hair too, because her hair has gotten longer and longer, i usually will section her hair off In maybe three sections or four sections braid it up or twist it up and then wash it in those sections. Let it air dry in those sections and then take it out section by section, apply moisture like your oils or leave-in conditioner or curl, custard or any kind of products, and then go back and braid it. That is going to cause less headache, less pain and less fussing for you, the next tip i want to talk about, and again i am very passionate about this. One is putting chemicals in your kids hair, especially at a premature age. These kids again have nothing to prove to anyone at all, so if you think they have nappy hair or their hair is too curly or unruly again guess where they got it from you. So please stop perming your baby's hair, i'm okay, if you're putting it in your own hair, because you're grown enough, but a baby anything from five six, even seven years old, come on like they're too young, i would prefer, if you added heat versus chemical, the heat Is still going to damage your hair, but at least it's going to have less damage now that is just my opinion, but please please, please, i hope and pray that you're not perming your one-year-old child's hair, your two-year-old three years old, four years old five years like Come on they're too young for that number, seven is going to kind of pick. You back on number six make your child comfortable and confident about their hair. You are the only one who is going to put those values in them, but if you're the same person who's basically acting or telling them that their hair is too nappy too unruly hard to take care of. You are going to put those insecurities in those kids at a very, very young age, and they don't need that. There is a lot of that at school at the playground at daycares, and you don't need to be the one doing that to your child as well. You need to instead tell them that their hair is beautiful and also encourage them to embrace it and be confident so that they'll be able to stand up to those bullies. Who tell them that. Why does your hair look like that, or why does your hair feel that way? Please don't make your daughters feel like their natural hair. Is you know nothing but ideal? That is one of the reasons i am happy about the natural hair community. They are starting to see some kind of representation when it comes to their hair and what they look like before it was never ever like that. We didn't see, you know, people with natural hair and foresee, hair and all those kind of hair. We didn't see that on tv we only saw the straight silky hair, and that is what we thought was normal. So we did everything to get our hair to look like that. But now it's actually a choice. I am a natural girl. My hair is natural. I love my curls, i love my kinks and now i have a daughter - and i'm also doing my very best to show her and teach her that her hair is beautiful and it's different, and that is what's unique about it. So now i wear weaves because i love it. I don't worry because i'm required to wear it. I don't worry because i feel like that is the only way i'm going to look pretty. I just worry because i'm a black girl and i'm allowed to basically change my hair every hour of the day and get away with it. So please teach your children that there is a stage and a time and place for everything when they're older old enough to put weaves and extensions in their hair. That is fine if they choose to do that. That is fine, but please teach them that whatever hair they have right now, whether it's long short kinky curly teach them that it is beautiful and unique. It is a problem when you try to hide it or make them feel like it's too hard to deal with, or it is not the um the norm or was accepted in society. You should be the one making their head as big as the biggest balloon. You can ever find. The next thing i want to talk about is specific to again our black parents out there i know growing up as a little girl. I had the nappiest hair. My hair is so happy, but maybe it was nappier then, and oh, my god, i used to hate doing my hair and if you're a black kid out there, you guys know exactly what i'm going to talk about when it was time to do your hair. That was the worst day of your life, because your parent, especially if you're african, your parent, literally sits you like in between her legs and you're, not allowed to cry you're not allowed to move you're not allowed to breathe like just sit there like a robot as They comb and pull and tug, and do all these things in the name of doing your hair. If you remember anything about what i just talked about, then you know exactly how it feels. So we want to change that for our daughters, you want to make it a pleasant experience that way, they're not going to be afraid to do their hair they're not going to run away they're, not going to cry so give them their favorite toys give them their Favorite snacks give them their favorite device sit in front of a tv. You guys know if you've seen any of my natural hair videos with my daughter. I just go by the flow. If she wants to sit in front of the tv i let her. She has a little tub now that she really really likes because she doesn't like to wash her hair in the actual bathtub. For some reason, the water is too loud and it scares her, so you just have to find what works for your kids. The next tip is to be gentle. This goes back to the same tip that i just talked about before. Please be gentle pulling your kids hair is not gon na make them um comply with whatever you're trying to do hitting them on the head or cutting them out. None of that is going to help it's only going to scare them and make them never want to do their hair. Again, you want to talk nice to them. You want to tell them how pretty they're going to look after their hair is done. Tell them something! That'S going to make them comfortable and help them work with you. The next thing i want to talk about is detangling, and this also falls back to the previous tip. The best way that i found that helps my daughter's hair is to detangle with aloe vera. That is my favorite detangler in the whole world, but i do understand that not everyone has access to it. So the next best thing you can do is to use conditioner either leave-in, conditioner or regular conditioner. Add some warm water put it in a spray bottle and spray it onto your child's hair again. Do it section by section and do it gently from ends all the way to root? I didn't know that i could grow hair at all until i finally went natural and started to pay attention to my hair, and now i have hair down to my back. I teach all my natural hair remedies and tricks and tips and potions on here. I don't hide it so i have tons of videos if you haven't seen them, go ahead and check out the videos down below or wait till the end and check out the videos that are going to pop up on the screen.
