Help with hair?

My daughter has curly hair but in the back it’s very coarse and dry. Anyone know what I can do or is it just where she’s sleeping? I put in leave in curl cream after washing and have ordered a little bonnet that may help.

My daughter also has hair like this and yes the back part is probably dry from where she sleeps. We also got a little silk bonnet but she didn't like it so we switched her sheets and pillowcases to silk ones. This has helped a lot with the frizz. We only wash our daughter's hair once a week. Every day I spray her hair with water till damp and put a tiny bit of leave-in conditioner and curl activator in her hair. This just helps bring her curls back to life.

I found this blog to be very helpful in understanding her hair type and in looking for products. My daughter is 18-month-old now so I do use all the products suggested. I only used shea moisture kids in the beginning though as that was what we had on hand.

I only found one product that worked on both of my girls hair types (dramatically different) and it is Miss Jessie’s multicultural curls… that being said anyone local that ever wants to experiment with products is welcome to come over😂 I have tried thousands of dollars in products over 8 years and 3 kids

i’m a cosmetologist. if you want you can message and i can give you some tips and product/routine recommendations

How old is she? Bonnets are a suffocation risk under 3yrs old. The back is just from sleeping, rubbing on pram, car seat etc. U dont need to do anything, it will grow back

Has anyone else had issues with their friends that aren't pregnant or have kids?

I have a friend at work and we've become really close over the years. But ever since I become pregnant she just doesn't understand anything I'm going through which is fine except for the fact that the past few days I have been exhausted physically and socially. We have been helping another friend out for about a month now and we've had to keep him entertained as he's going through a rough time right now and it's drained me socially . my friend at work is frustrated because I'm not talking a lot and I'm exhausted and she doesn't understand why and I'm just curious if anybody else has had issues with friends that are not going to the same thing or have gone through the same thing as you connecting with you because she's literally mad at me. She stopped talking to me at work today and I just don't understand what to do.

Friends

I’ve been on this app for almost 5 years now I still can’t find one friend. I just need a friend. I’m so fucking lonely.

Spicy chat

Anyone up for a spicy chat, I’m horny

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣

Why is it so hard it to make friends?!

Panic attacks and anxiety attacks are so horrible!

I’m in Woodstock, Georgia and so hard to connect and find friends a just enjoy the park with and motherhood.

Anyone up for a challenge ??

Is anyone interested in joining the Pilates with Izzy 25-day challenge?
