I had the pleasure of watching my niece on Friday night. The moment she walked in I noticed 5 alarm knots in her hair. She’s the type of kid that hates to get her hair brushed and her mom’s been under the weather and those two things combined means some ratty hair. Plus her hair is soooo long and super fine. This accounts for another couple of variables for tangled hair.
So we popped in the DVD, Monsters vs Aliens. I told her to hold still, which she did for the most part. After trying to gently maneuver through her hair, I began to think this was impossible. Then I asked Kat Daddy to look up on the internet how to get dread locks out. Because you see this was a dread in the making. The instructions called for conditioner. The moment Sophia saw the conditioner bottle, she called it lotion and wanted to be the one to squeeze it out and apply it to her hair. I negotiated. She squeezed out ¼ of a cup of conditioner in my hand. No worries. We were going to need it all. I gooped up the tangle and let it set for a few minutes. Then with the bribe of some ice cream and a trip upstairs we turned on the shower and rinsed the conditioner out. After some more combing we had tangle free, shiny hair!
You know that feeling after popping a big, nasty pimple? Well that’s how I felt after conquering her knotty hair.
XOXO,
Rizzle
