The right tools!
I thought I was using a good comb. Not! Turns out having a special detangling comb and a brush that was recommended by a salesperson at Sally Beauty Supply make all the difference. SO much easier to get the knots out. And with much less breakage. Wish I’d figured this out sooner. Honestly, I was skeptical about any brush working in SG’s hair, but I figured for $4 it was worth...

Gotta try this one on SG - if I can manage the parts, that is.
No new pictures
I continue to slack on the cornrowing (is that even a word?) and just end up doing simple braids right before bedtime.

Why I'm just now trying to learn to cornrow...
I was lucky enough to have a fabulous woman care for my daughter for the first 3 years of her life. She also took care of my daughter’s hair, which I’ll admit was a great relief for this white mama. I was always determined not to be the mama who couldn’t care for her girl’s hair, but honestly, I was/am intimidated by how much work it is to care for black or biracial...
