So, I have been slowly, slowly dipping my toes into the world of African-American hair care. I have pinned some ideas, watched some videos, tried different products, and followed some pages that keep warming me up to the main gist of what Lasa's hair is gonna need. I have so much to learn still. But today I tried a new thing! Protective styling Lasa's hair. With twists!
It ain't perfect. It ain't even necessarily pretty. But it's progress! We also have Lasa a silk pillowcase, because, in case you didn't know, cotton pillowcases are terrible for African-American hair. I also just requested to join a FB community a friend recommended that is designed to support white parents of black children in the taking care of their skin and hair, too, that I just know is gonna be so helpful.
This is her typical hair when I have managed it with product. Some days I toss a headband on this. I have even ventured into little puffs.
This is her typical hair when I have let it be how it wants to be and have not intervened with product.
So, twists help a little. :} Bring on the twists. Maybe even some braids one day!
And that is the latest with the doing of Lasa's hair. :}
Her hair is fun!
