Bittersweet hair journey!
My son wants to keep growing out his hair. So I’m always looking for ways to make this tenderheaded boy easy to deal with. The conditioner helped. Combing it while the conditioner was in and sectioning it out was very helpful. The blowing drying part was not too bad as well. At this point I’m scoring like a 90. Not too much fussing I’m doing amazing.
Then once his sister and his cousin was asked to assist me so that I can clean and season chicken, my score went to a 100.
Why, you might ask. Well at this point he felt like he was being tortured by the braiders. lol!!
We all survived the ordeal. His sister told him beauty hurts. lol!!!
Can you relate?

Using a good conditioner can drastically ease the process, allowing you to comb through their hair more smoothly. Additionally, sectioning the hair during grooming times can be incredibly helpful. Collaborating with family members not only lightens the load but also turns hair care into a fun activity. Involving siblings or cousins can make the process feel less daunting and more enjoyable for the child. Emphasizing that 'beauty hurts' can also be a playful reminder that grooming, while sometimes uncomfortable, is part of looking their best.
