Another Hair Day!

Thankfully we were able to get Hannah's braids out yesterday. So today after a swim lesson we jumped into getting the new braids put in.

Now for those who do not KNOW black hair care, here are some pictures to help you understand!

First we wash the hair and leaving the shampoo in for about 5 minutes to soak well into a scalp that does not get deep washed often.

Then we condition well.

With the conditioner in, we brush out the hair with a wide tooth comb. This is not usually a pleasant experience, as there are usually a number of nasty tangles and dead hair to remove. We all loose hair every day, since Hannah's hair is all braided up, she looses all her hair from 3 weeks at one time! I did not take a picture of the pile of hair!

So part of our newest regimen is to have Hannah involved in the process, so she can see I am not pulling her hair on purpose, but that it is just part of the process.

So here is my n**d girl sitting in the bathroom sink, working on brushing out her hair. She did enjoy this even though she told me it still hurt! I did finish up for her, but it was good for her to try.

This next picture is also for those of you without dark pigment in your skin!! And NO my bathtub does not normally look like this!! Only after Hannah's hair days! I am very thankful for bleach spray which takes care of this in just a moment.

After brushing we lightly rinse out the conditioner and pat dry to head down stairs for the actual braiding process.

Next time I will try to get some pictures of the process and post them and tell the rest of the LONG process.

So I will leave you with a picture of the new braids. Hannah wanted a pony tail. Well now she has one for three weeks. LOL! I tried to put some swirl in it, but it did not work too well. And just in case you are wondering--it does look like a pony tail even without the band on it!!
