products? If not, what products do you use for your daughter: I use
Herbal Fruit Shampoo and Damatol mixed with baby oil for her hair.

Do you make her hair or do you take her to the salon: We do " home salon". *wink* I do her hair myself at home. It encourages her to stay through the whole washing, drying and weaving (corn rowing) process.

awww thanks for doing this series. I think it's very important that we encourage our young ones to love the hair they are born with. I personally can't wait to have girls so that I can play with and style their beautiful tresses :D I love reading ur blog. Keep up the good work :)
Thank you Miss Jay! I am glad you could join us.
I totally agree. Kids get cues from us and if we 'behave' like natural hair is a bother, they'll pick that up too. I am really proud of these Moms!
