As someone with stick-straight hair, I have to say you all have hair I would kill for...
Everyone's hair is so beautiful!!
I don't have my printer hooked up because I'm moving stuff around, but there is more than one way to skin a cat. Here is a pic of me as a wee child of 3 with natural hair. It's not curly, but it's also straightened with a hot comb.
This is the reason I have straightened hair now. Like most children, I did not like getting my hair done. I didn't like my mother washing my hair in the sink because I would get scared water or soap would get in my eye (did I mention I still hate washing my own hair? This may be one of the reasons). So it took forever to wash my thick head of hair. Then blowdry and proceed to watch your child flinch with every touch of the comb. I had to be about 5 when I got my first relaxer. Which my mother always says she regrets because by 6, it ate my hair up. Of course, it didn't last because my hair seems to be pretty resilient which is why I need a touch up all the time (approx. every 3 months. Formally 2), because my hair growth seems superhuman.
Meee, meee! I have locs that are dyed brunette.
My daughters have mixed hair and I use the Carol Daughters hair milk on them sometimes and if you like that...you should try Mixed Chicks leave in conditioner it works even better than the Carol Daughter.What products are you ladies using for hold or style?
I've tried Carol Daughter's hair milk and except for the smell (it has lemongrass in it which is STRONG), I do like it. I've also tried a few products by Curls, but I'm not a fan.
Other than that, I typically used leave in conditioner and homemade oil on the ends.

Yesterday, I spent 3.5 hours on my head and I have the bags under my eyes to prove it (poo/dc'ed, tension dried and flatironed my hair) I'm sooo tired today!
Anybody know of a great detangler, product wise?
