The New Doooo!

My beautiful 12 year old.

You've come a long way, baby! I love you, "Marie".

The Natural Hair Repair

A couple of months ago, I put twists in my daughter's hair. They were so easy to upkeep and maintain. But as I went to remove them yesterday, we had a loud screaming session.

I could not, I repeat, COULD NOT get the knots out.

For those of you blogging friends who have adopted children that are African American, I have stumbled across a natural remedy that is incredible.

1 Tbsp of Apple Cider Vinegar to 1 cup of water.

This is an amazing remedy for those tearful hair combing sessions.

Thanks to this blog along with this information I have found something easy to use.

So as we finished up my littlest hair today, I held her and we both cried. Cheezy. I know, but when you have to go through feeling like you are killing your child for hours...this is no exaggeration...this is such a gift.

I plan on using it myself.

A Radical Transformation

For those of you who ever wondered why African American little girls' hair is always done up so fantastically, here is the answer to your question. It just can't NOT be done....

THE BEFORE

AND AFTER!

This, here, Adoption Mama is learning quite a bit about how to care for my darling Black Beauties. I would never change what God has blessed my life with.
