Night Time Routine

Brown Girls Hair

In this video, Brown Girl shows you her easy and simple night routine. Here are a few night time tips to remember;

1. Keep hair dry while taking a bath with a shower cap.
2. Moisturize hair nightly as needed from the scalp to the ends.
3. Wear a satin or silk bonnet at night to help protect the hair, retain moisture, and to retain the hairstyle.
4. You can also use a satin or silk pillow case just in case the bonnet falls off while sleeping.

I am a true believer that minimal manipulation on my child’s hair is beneficial to keeping her hair healthy which aids in length retention and growth. There are several other options for this hairstyle that you can do to make it last for at least 3 days.





We transitioned from this hair style to this one!

How I Co-Wash

co wash natural hairstyles black girls
Brown Girls Hair

I have mentioned before how sometimes I may wash my daughters hair with cornrows/braids still in it. A few days ago, that's exactly what I did.

I had just completed a cute hairstyle on her hair and the very next day we went on a family "back to school" picnic. At the picnic, she went swimming. I told her, you can go, but please don't get your hair wet because I just styled it yesterday and you know how you don't like getting your hair washed right? She agreed (for the moment)! LOL

Of course I knew she was going to go back on her word so I already had my mind straight about the more than likely possibility of me having to wash her hair. Once she got in that water and met a few friends it was over. The hair was wet, which meant I had to wash it.

I decided to co-wash her hair for the first time. For those of you who may not know what co-washing is, it's when you wash the hair with conditioner instead of shampoo. I used TRESemme' moisture rich conditioner.

TRESemme' Moisture Rich

I was very bold because this was also my first time in almost 2 years washing her hair without it being in plaits. (I normally put her hair in four sections, plait each section, then wash it with the plaits in it. Doing it that way helps me decrease the amount of tangles and almost eliminates the need to detangle her hair which ultimately saves time and prevents breakage.)

I didn't use a wide tooth comb this time. I used my fingers to detangle her hair. It took me a long time to go through it with my fingers, but it was well worth the time and effort. I am totally pleased with the cleanliness of her hair and how tangle free it was.

She will not be doing anymore water activities this year and her next washing will be in 6-8 weeks. Sooner if needed because she's going to be cheering this year (somebody pray for me)! I love football. I have 3 boys, 2 of them still play the sport, but this cheerleading stuff is not my cup of tea! LOL

Ben over at Gimme Clips sent me a box of goodies to try and I must say, my absolute favorites are the cutter comb, the squeezy beads, and the fillable brush!

1 cutter comb w/50 plastic elastics

Style: Very cute!
Ease of use: Very easy to use!
Comfort: The comb is a good size for it's use. It's not too big or too small which makes it easy to handle while cutting the rubber bands off.
1 fillable brush w/50 plastic elastics

Style: This is a very cute a unique style. I like that it holds rubber bands.
Ease of use: The wide handle makes it easy to grip. The 2 holes in the bottom makes it easy to add a ribbon to it to hang it in the bathroom!
Comfort: N/A

75 squeezy beads

Style: This are very unique because they are soft as opposed to the hard plastic beads.
Ease of use: They are very easy to use and come with a small beading utensil which is used to apply the beads to the hair.
Comfort: My daughter said these were very comfortable while sleeping. Because they are soft rubbery type beads, they don't hurt when you lay on them at night like the hard plastic ones do!
