Easter & Post-Trim Dos

I think Baby and I are actually becoming reconciled to her hair-care routine.  :)   For the past few weeks, she has actually sat still for, oh, 20 minutes while I raced to style her hair. Even though we were always short on time, I think we pulled off a few cute styles. In the first two pictures, I gave her a sock-bun updo. In the second two, after her trim in a previous blog, I found a style to suit her shorter—and growing—hair.

Trimming Baby’s Ends

I trimmed Baby’s hair a few weeks ago, because her ends were getting rough and they seemed to be splitting. Here’s how I did it.

After detangling, I smooth each section between my fingers, feeling for rough ends.

Once I feel the rough, split ends I know where to snip.

I'll divide this into two smaller sections.

It is not as bad as it looks. Her hair will grow in as quickly as she does! The locks near the bottom of the picture look browner because they were dry when I snipped. Never again.

The tools. A pair of shears from a beauty supply store; a pin-tail comb; brush for gentle detangling; Shea butter cream and water to mist and moisturize each section.
