Hair advice ?

Hey girls I’m 10 days postpartum. Can I dye my hair? I’m only throwing a black over it. I did it when I had my first son 4 years ago literally straight away but people said I should wait 6 weeks hide. Any advice thank you x

Curly hair mommas: Help me with my babies hair!!!

She has very tight curls when wet, but when it dries and I brush it out it looks like this. I use Shea Moisture Kids leave in conditioner but I feel like it’s not doing much. The front of her hair feels course and the rest is soft. I just want to do cute little hairstyles but I can’t keep the curls intact!

Bald patches

My little girl’s hair is growing out super duper patchy. The entire back of her head is bald yet she has these thick long tufts of hair along the sides. And then sparse hairs on top. It’s almost comical. Anything I can do to encourage even growth?

Toddler hair washing

We’ve always used a cup to rinse our little girls hair but I’m wondering if there’s anything better? I think sometimes the cup is too much water coming out at once for her and something gentler might be better.

I think not…

So she’s not my mil anymore because me and my partner split at the beginning of the year. However! The ex mil is getting married late February and wants my girl as bridesmaid/flower girl. Fine, whatever. What is not fine, is that she wants to put make up on my 2 year old and also have her hair done professionally...
