Today has been one of those days where I literally feel like I accomplished nothing! I guess I should be happy that this stomach flu thing is waning, but now I feel like I am a whole week behind!
First thing on the agenda for tomorrow (besides catching up on my 2 days of missed work) is finding yet another new hair product for Jade's hair. Good grief curly hair can be so hard to manage.
Funny thing is her hair is absolutely gorgeous when it cooperates but when it's not cooperating, look out...she looks like a walking cotton candy poof! Die her hair pink and blue and I swear people would try to pull out a piece and eat it! Joking aside, this will be the 4th combination of products I am trying on her hair. It's like she wakes up one morning and her hair just decides that it no longer wants to respond to the products I have been using forever. Right now I am using Silken Kids Shampoo, Conditioner and Leave-In conditioner. Those seems to still work pretty well and they smell good, and you all know I am a sucker for products that smell good. For styling I have been using Design Essentials stretching cream mixed with a natural oil. I also use Frizz-Ease styling mousse. Everything was going well and then all of a sudden the DE cream clumps on top of her hair and makes it look all gross like I haven't washed it at all. Such a shame because that stuff is so not cheap! Before the DE I was using the Shea Moisture cream which is similar and I switched because it wasn't controlling her curls well enough. My next move (based on a blog I read with some really great tips...Treasures for Tots Biracial Hair Tips) is to try the Blended Beauty line of products. I have tried:
- Shea Moisture's entire line (semi-worked)
- Kinky Curly (didn't work)
- Curly Q (like the Shampoo and Conditioner)
- Sofnfree's Curl Wake Up Spray (my favorite curl refresher and the cheapest best product I have used)
- Miss Jessie (didn't work and is way too expensive for a 2 year old)
If any of you guys have suggestions on other things to try, I am open to suggestion. I do have to stay away from heavy grease and oils as it weighs her hair down considerably, but anything else and I will try it and report back!
BTW--If anyone is interested in where Miss Jade got her tutu and matching headband(in the picture of her and "Bruba"), a friend of mine and I started an Etsy shop called BuckelsNBows (http://www.etsy.com/shop/BuckelsNBows). Yep, that's right we made it! I also made Nolon's matching bow tie. So if any of you are interested, check us out on Etsy!
Until next time!
