Except occasional combing, a bit of oiling on the ends?
I just wrote to a friend on here and ended up talking about my dd's hair, and wanted to post about it, too, since I've been meaning to for months.
Here it is, c/p... Our hair is looking nice, though. I've taught her the ways of LHC. Actually, she doesn't have to do a thing with her hair! It is not fair, says I. Last year around September, when she was 3, she stopped wanting me to wash her hair in any way (I'd usually do CO or a little shampoo and conditioner once a week or so), and so I didn't, and she'd just rinse her hair a bit in the shower or bath. Now it's been *counting* 10 months!! 10 months of doing Nothing to her hair, no washing of any sort, not even once. We comb her hair out a couple times a week (her hair's a couple inches past apl, I guess), and I put a tiny amount of jojoba or coconut oil on the ends every couple weeks, and that's it. Her scalp has literally not been touched for almost a year! The only thing that ever happens to her hair, is the ends get wet in the bath, or she puts a lot of her hair back into the water, but that's like once every week or so (she usually wants her hair up, and doesn't like it getting wet). It's been completely fine, and it blows my mind... If she had any issues of any sort with her hair or scalp I would've done something, but apparently her head just does its own thing, and I really, really wish I could do the same. Oh, that would be so nice, and so easy. I do WO a lot, but I guess just being an adult, it's different. I wonder how long her head will be fine doing this... I thought this summer in Va might change it a bit, 'cause she hasn't gone through a summer with no washing yet, but so far her head's been exactly the same, even with extremely hot temperatures. Maybe she'll keep on going till she becomes a teenager. Anyway, thanks for letting me babble about it. Only LHC folks would understand. I just think it's so neat that her head takes care of itself, very well! She has medium thickness, fine, wurly hair, btw. I've done WO on and off, and just used whatever my hair feels like it needs, I guess. But I really wish I could have a non-routine, too! I've thought about NW/SO, but it's a whole big thing too, what with the scritching, etc. And I just don't want to have to do anything. Oh well. Maybe I'll figure something out. I've been wanting to post about this on a forum, to see if anyone else's hair and head is like this, and maybe I'll just copy this and post my babblings about it. ;)
Is anyone's else's head like this, or their kids' heads? I've been wondering if there was anyone else out there like this for a long time now! Thanks for reading. :)
