How to Grow Long Hair

There are a few things that I didn't mention in the video that I would like to add:

J When you find what works for you, stick to it!J

Once you finally find out what her hair likes and responds to, stick to it. Don't change up what you are doing just because a new method or a new product comes out. If you see there's a better way, of course, do that. But don't just join the crowd because everybody else is doing it.

J Does my daughter have product build up between washes?J
When I use ONLY the vitamin e oil as her moisturizer, between washes, there is no product build up. It's just dirty. LOL

When I use the Just for Me Moisturizing lotion or the shea butter mixture(that I make myself), there is some product build up, but it's not very heavy and overwhelming.

The products mentioned here is all that I use on her hair between washes and I usually stick to using only one of them(which ever I have available at the time) between each wash.

For example, if I wash her hair today and I use vitamin e oil to moisturize it, I will use only the vitamin e oil as her moisturizer until the next wash. That's how I control product build up...just don't use a lot of product and you shouldn't have build up...just dirt!

If I think of anything else to add to this, I will.....

Just thought of something else...

JA Healthy Scalp is VERY important for a healthy head of hair.J

If you are having issues with your daughters scalp/skin and she has a serious dandruff problem, I suggest you take her to a Dermatologist. I don't have an answer for you on this, but a doctor does.

**Side Note**Massaging the scalp is a great way to promote hair growth too! I didn't (and don't currently) massage my daughters scalp to get her hair where it is today, but I do plan to massage her scalp this summer to see what happens:)!

What is Brown Girls Hair Type??

I've been asked more times than I can count, "What is Brown Girls hair type?" My answer every time has been, "I don't know".

I've seen many different charts and I find the descriptions to be confusing. I know that she is suppose fit into one of the categories, but none of them seem to totally describe her hair. She is like a combination of several of the types. So I just continue to say when asked that question, "I don't know"!

While looking at Bronner Brothers 4 Naturals product line website, (because I will be trying their products soon on MY hair), they have a chart to find your hair type. What I like about their chart is not only does it show the different hair types, it also lists the products suitable for each type. I really like that because it takes the work out of what products to try for a particular hair type.

What I don't like about the chart is I don't know if it's for when the hair is wet or dry? Someone please enlighten me? According to the chart, I guess she is 3C or 4A because they are closest to how her hair looks wet.

I haven't used the line yet to say if I like it or not, but I am willing to give it a try soon(on MY hair). In fact, they are giving away free products for product testers. Read more about that here. I'm going to get my products with this offer!

I'll post a review once I try the products for a couple of months!

I really love this little dress! Brown Girl picked it out to wear for Mother's Day yesterday. She's at the stage now where she selects her own clothes to wear each day and I must say, she has a great sense of style!

She has been blessed with a Grandmother who can sew and she makes her all kinds of cute outfits, not only for her, but for her dolls too! She has a store on Etsy that you can purchase all of the cute outfits that you will find featured here on each Monday's Outfit of the Week posts.

She loves to twirl!

Her Twin Doll!

The doll was a gift to her when she was 2 years old from her Grandparents. It's a My Twinn doll that is made in the likeness of your child or whoever you purchase it for. You choose the dolls features and they make it for you! 

No, I did not comb the dolls hair! She combed her dolls hair to be like hers! Does your daughter like to dress like her doll?

*You can purchase the girls dress here and the dolls dress here!
* The doll can be purchased here!
