"It's the tiniest thing I ever decided to put my whole life into"

My daughter has very soft curls that can easily frizz and tangle. Lately I have been using Almond oil before managing her hair. I have been using Marico’s Almond Gold oil and although its not completely natural I absolutely love it for her and also my son. It helps me detangle her hair nicely with little breakage, adds shine and maintains a polished look with no flyaway hairs when styling. It has a wonderful scent and its light enough to leave her hair still bouncy and with definition.
Almond oil is composed of fats and fatty acids that are valuable for almost all types of hair as it proves to be very nourishing, and softens and strengthens the hair. It also proves to be a very good cleansing agent. If applied a few hours before you go for a bath, the sticky fats on the oil absorb and gather the particles and the particulates of dust and pollution that have entered your hair. Eventually, when you wash your hair, the whole mixture of oil and dirt gets washed off effectively cleansing your hair and your scalp.
My daughters hair routine
- Prepoo- I massage coconut oil on her hair and put it in a soft bun for about one hour while she plays around the house
- Shampoo- I shampoo her hair with Dove. (I only shampoo her hair twice a week)
- Conditioner- I use Hello Hydration by Herbal Essence (the best) and detangle her hair starting from the ends with a wide comb
- Style- I apply almond oil and brush her hair softly and style as desired
