Sharing Kids' Hair Care with The Man


Earlier this year, I was at the soccer field talking with another soccer mom about ... yeah... hair. She started saying how her husband combs her daughter's hair and puts bows in it. I was like, ....errr... really!?. Hmm... this got me thinking... I have never thought of involving my husband in the care of the girls' hair. I don't even think he had ever combed the girls' hair before.

The next day, we started the learning process.

It is very important for us to incorporate our spouses, partners, and other people that will be involved in the care of the child's hair.  Share the knowledge!!

You can start by teaching him/her about doing the LOC method to moisturize the child's hair. It's as simple as that.  He might not know all the natural hair terminology, but let him practice the little things like brushing the kids hair.  My husband can't braid or do twists (even with Lil Sis trying to teach him LOL), but he does a good job at getting her hair ready for school; moisturized, sealed, and brushed.

Morning Hair Routine


L - (Liquid) - Spritz hair with water

O - (Oil) - Apply oil to scalp and hair
C- (Cream) - Apply cream to hair

Seal ends of hair with Whipped Shea Butter

Brush hair lightly to catch any flyaways

Is your spouse or partner involved in the hair care of your child?

    I love this, awesome daddy! We love to see hands-on dads!

    Oh yes my husband is very much involve. He sat thru your consultation and that was a real eye opener for him. I think its very important that Dad's get involve as it gives them appreciation for the women in their live.

    I love this! The hubby gets involved on his own esp when he sees the kids hair need attentiong and i'm too busy for it. He looses out the braids or twists and sometimes places em in big braids after a wash. I think it brings us closer as a fam and he loves seeing the process of their growth.

      That is so cool. When the whole family is involved, it DOES bring every one together. Thanks for commenting.

Does having lots of hair on your arm means long hair on your head?

Image
  No, having a lot of hair on your arms doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll have long hair on your head. Hair growth patterns, thickness, and length on different parts of the body are influenced by factors such as genetics, hormones, and individual biology. For example: • Hair on arms is usually vellus or terminal hair, which grows to a certain length and then stops. • Scalp hair grows continuously in a cycle (anagen, catagen, telogen phases), allowing it to become much longer than body hair. While genetics may influence both arm and scalp hair characteristics, they don’t directly determine the length of one based on the other.

How to know your hair porosity

Image
Hair porosity refers to how well your hair absorbs and retains moisture. There are three main levels of porosity: low, medium, and high . To determine your hair porosity, you can use the following methods: 1. The Float Test • Take a few strands of clean, dry hair (no product or oil on it). • Fill a glass or bowl with room-temperature water. • Drop the hair strands into the water and wait 2–4 minutes. • Low porosity: Hair floats on top, as the cuticles are tightly closed and resist absorbing water. • Medium porosity: Hair slowly sinks to the middle, as it absorbs a balanced amount of water. • High porosity: Hair quickly sinks to the bottom, as it absorbs water easily due to open or damaged cuticles. 2. The Slip Test • Run your fingers up a strand of hair from the tip to the root. • Low porosity: Hair feels smooth, indicating tightly closed cuticles. • Medium porosity: Hair feels slightly textured, indicating healthy cuticles. • High porosity:...
