I actually imply this as a result of they didn’t pay me to say it ha! I usually combine their moisturizer with somewhat little bit of olive oil from the grocery retailer. I additionally suggest utilizing a “Denman brush” and parting the hair into sections with a large tooth comb. This makes it simpler to detangle and fewer painful for [your daughter].
MN: How usually do you have to trim your little one’s ends?

MN: Mothers know that pure hair is finest for teenagers as a result of it’s lots more healthy, however women don’t at all times perceive that and need perm-straight hair like a few of their mates. How can mothers get their daughters to embrace being pure?
Joi: Change their mates. Simply, kidding! I believe it’s vital to instill self-love and a way of self at an early age. I’d clarify that what works for another person, won’t work for her hair. I’d additionally give the standard mother response, “ In that case and so jumped off a constructing, would you?”
