hair

I'll be the first one to admit that I'm not the best at taking care of Ezra's hair (it was so much easier in the summer when we could just buzz it off).  But his 'winter' fro is quite a bit more labour intensive.


I tried twists for the first time this morning.  I learned how from youtube (same place I learned how to use my serger, cook, and most other things--if I can learn something in less than 4 minutes, I'm up for it!)

 
The video said it could stay in for up to a week.  And like the video told me to, I used lots of conditioning stuff and combed it really well so it wouldn't be knotted.  I am, however, worried that after 1 or 2 sleeps it will be soo knotted we'll have to shave it off!   
 
 
Sooooo, if the next picture you see of Ezra is with a shaved head, you'll know what happened :(
I had to try.
I hope it stays in long enough for Shawn to see it on Saturday morning when he gets home.  It's too much work to only stay in for 1 or 2 days!!!
 
 
Liam made it very clear that he did not want me to do that to his hair. 
No problem Liam!
 
 
.... just two more day until Shawn comes home. 
I am so counting down the hours!

  1. Have you tried a satin pillowcase or sleep cap for him? I'm not sure how well he'd tolerate the sleep cap, but apparently satin pillowcases are supposed to reduce breakage/snagging and won't suck the moisture out of hair like cotton will. I don't know, something I've been reading about too! Love the twists :)

    1. That's a good idea, Sarah. I think I might look into those. Thanks for the idea!
