Friday Fun: April Flowers and Sunshine

I enjoy being creative when I do hairstyles for my friends' kids. I always tell them that it is one of my stress release mechanism.  Here are a couple of my favorite designs:

Sunshine

I remember the first time I braided my daughter's hair, she was about 5 months old. The style lasted.....for  10 mins.  Yes! 10 mins! She ran her baby fingers over her head, and the cornrows unravelled. It was quite comical.  I didn't give up, but continued trying and over the years, with much practice, I am happy that I didn't give up.

Why You Should Not Rosemary Oil on Baby’s Hair?

Image
  It’s generally not recommended to use rosemary oil on infants, as their skin is more sensitive, and certain essential oils can cause irritation or even adverse reactions. Rosemary oil, in particular, may be too potent for young children and infants. It can also be toxic if ingested or improperly used, and there are concerns that it could potentially cause respiratory issues or allergic reactions. If you’re considering using any essential oils for an infant, it’s essential to consult with a pediatrician first.

Why does density change when hair is in locs?

Image
  The density of hair appears to change when it’s in locs due to how the hair strands are structured and compacted in this style. Here’s a detailed breakdown: 1. Compression of Hair Strands  • When forming locs, the hair strands are tightly coiled, twisted, and sometimes matted together. This compression reduces the amount of space the hair takes up, making the hair feel denser or heavier in the locked areas. 2. Accumulation of Shedded Hair  • In loose hairstyles, shed hair falls out naturally. However, in locs, the shed hair remains trapped within the structure of the loc. Over time, this accumulation adds to the mass and density of each loc. 3. Reduction in Air Gaps  • Loose or free-flowing hair has more space between strands, which gives it a lighter appearance and feel. Locs, by contrast, have much less space between the strands because the hair is tightly packed, creating the impression of increased density. 4. Hair Growth Over Time  • As locs mature, more ...
