Hair Today, In Your Hand Tomorrow.

Well about 3 weeks ago, the end of summer, Zee asked if I could give her a hair wrap.  I said yes and here we are today. Time passed by and she wasn't ready to take it out for school. But here hair wrap had other plans.

Zee:    "Mommy you would not believe what kind of day I had today."  

Mommy:   "What kind of day did you have."

Zee:   "here"

Mommy:  "OMG, your hair wrap fell out."

Zee:  " all I did was touch it and it fell out.... and my hair is still it.  And, you wouldn't imagine I held it in my hand at school all that time."

Mommy:"why did you hold it in your hand and not put it in your bag?"

Zee:"because it fell out."

OMG...

How long should a hair wrap stay in?

No longer than 3 weeks, I would say.  Or you may run the risk of losing that portion of hair.

Be careful not play, twist, and touch your hair wrap to much.  This will cause it to twist and tangle at the root.  At the root, once tangled the hair becomes fragile which leads to it breaking out at the root.  

To preserve your hair wrap:

minimize touching

pulling on your hair wrap

twisting of any kind

 Ps.  Zee is looking forward to getting another hair wrap. OMG

 

How to get Aqua Sand out of hair?

How to get Aqua Sand out of hair?

Playing with Aqua sand here was all fun and games until the little one to the right, took a cup and poured Aqua sand and water on his head.  What a nightmare?  The sand harden at the scalp, as it would in water.  On the package it says nothing about staying clear of hair only carpets.

Considering carpets can be much like hair, Now I could see why.

Not sure on which part of this process worked but these are steps I took to get the harden sand mixture out of his hair.

1. Frantically washed his hair about 10 times.

2. Placed conditioner on hair because the sand seemed to have made it very dry.

from this the sand turned white or clear like 

3.Rinsed and rinsed and rinsed until he couldn't take it any more.

4. Much came out just from steps 1-3

Allowed to dry and I sectioned his hair off and combed through to the roots and brushed out any remaining sand mixture.  

It you have found yourself, not being able to get Aqua sand out of hair please share your experience below to help others.

Parents you have been warned.

How to dye your hair with Kool-aid.

 This I know is old school, but a simple and safe way to give your hair a little tint if you have darker hair.  With lighter or bleached hair you will get the true color.

A few things you need:

1. 2 packets of your choice kool-aid
2. a pair of gloves
3. 1 cup
4. foil
5. a timer

 Here I used the black cheery and cherry flavors combined.

 I mixed the two with a little hot water until it made a paste.  Above you can see how my hands are dyed from the mixture, so gloves are needed. :)

 Wrap the portion of hair you want dyed by wrapping it in foil.

 Set your timer for 30 minutes or longer if needed.

 Rinse your hair with water only and view your tint on your hair.  Hope you like it.  I love it and will be doing it on all of my hair for the new year.  Just love the tint it placed on darker hair. 

Hair don't care-- We are such a fan.

 

Here are some photos of my daughters natural hair with the kinky Curly Curling custard braided in pigtails.  Are there any new products that would be great for the kids hair?  Thanks and I watch all your videos and just love your products.
