Can Trimming Reduce Tangles?

Image
  When was the last time you trimmed your child's hair? Well, that was the question I asked myself today when I was pre-pooing my daughter's hair with Trinity Hair and Body Glaze oil from Embrace The Natural You .  Lucky for me, I had recorded what I do to my girls' hair on a new app I found called, Hair Journal .   After I trimmed her hair, it was so much easier to detangle it. The last time I trimmed her hair was 6 months ago, next time, I have to remember once tangling gets to be an hassle, I need to see if trimming will be an issue.

Our First Concert with Jason Gray

Image
    When I heard that Jason Gray was going to be at the KSBJ Brown Bag Chick-Fil-A Concert, I HAD to take the girls. It's SUMMER, and I am always looking for things to do with the girls that are affordable. This one was FREE. I like using Houston-On-The-Cheap to find events that you can do at a low, discount, or Free cost.  Maybe there is one in your area.   Jason Gray is a Christian Contemporary Musician, who is such an inspiration. Even though he has a speech disorder (he stutters), he does not let that stop him from singing praises to God,  Read more about Jason Gray by clicking here .     Click here to watch our vlog or watch below:    THE HAIR.... Before the concert, the girls had their hair out in a braid out with two cornrows at the edges.  Run! Run! Run! But it got too hot, and thankfully, we had our Emergency Kit , and we swooped the hair into ponytails. SUBSCRIBE to our family vlog channel to keep up with our BUSY life! CLICK
