Hair
Something we haven't quite mastered yet is how to properly take care of Truman's hair. As you can tell by our pictures, his hair has started getting fairly long and his curls are getting tighter and tighter. We already went from 2 washes a week down to 1 and that has definitely improved the moisture level. Before we were doing a leave-in-conditioner/detangler 2-3 times a week and that was working pretty well. Swimming, however, has thrown a little wrench in our routine and has caused much more frizzing than we've experienced before. A coworker suggested that we might want to try using some hair oil after the conditioner, as the water and detangler (which has water in it) are probably stripping some of the moisture from T's hair. Today we tried the new routine for the first time - conditioner then hair oil - and I think the results were pretty good! We tried not to use too much oil, but his hair definitely seems smoother and the curls are staying tighter. If anyone has any other suggestions, though, we are always open to new ideas!

Alison - we just started using some conditioning type goup for B's hair. We just got some from Sally's beauty supply. Someone recommended African Pride brand to us, but the store by us doesn't carry that - just depends on the type of population/clientele in your area. Anyways, check at a store like that, or look online. We put it in his hair after every time his hair gets wet. Just a small amount though - maybe a little bigger than the pea-size amount. Hope this helps!
