Raising Children to Weather the Storm
Natural hair is beautiful. But, unfortunately not everyone feels the same way.

Since Princess attends dance class on Saturdays, we’ll throw her hair up into a messy bun or an “Elsa braid,” as she’d like to…
Our mixed hair care wash-n-go series is coming to an end and Princess’s curls are still holding up pretty well. Friday’s are usually quick and easy. Sometimes she prefers to throw her hair into a pony tail after the detangling process. But, today we decided to let her curls hang one more day with an…
