First Haircut & Braids....


I believe the right product for the curls and the proper maintenance of the curls are both important. This brings me to one of the dreaded questions.....lol :) 
When are you going to cut her hair? My answer is never...just kidding.  My mind races with so many questions...Will she let someone else touch her hair?  How the heck will they untangle all the curls?  Will they cut it too short? 
Maybe all the bad experiences with my own curls are delaying this first haircut for my daughter.  She will get a hair trim, as I like to call it, when Mommy finds the right place :)

Another dreaded question is: When are you going to braid her hair?  This Mommy loves that question because i don't know how to braid.  Yes, I will learn.  My old college roomie will be in town and she is supposed to show me how.  Synthia: Where are you???? 
Naima really enjoys her curls and likes to play with them...braiding her hair to her head might be a problem but who knows.  I look forward to learning how to braid and to Naima smiling when she sees her new hairstyle. 
I ran into a woman the other day who says that her daughter only wears her hair braided.  It is much easier that way was her response.  I've never taken the easy road :))))
Naima is three years old and there is plenty of time to enjoy braids just like we enjoy her curls now.  Braids will be one of our paths that we take in this incredible hair journey!


My idea of simple braids......she liked them :)
