Making Waves
I've got flat hair, but my 3-year-old, Crabtot, has a mass of ringlets. Or a snarlicious wad of hair-tangle, as the case may be.
I've written about this before, as well as some wacky French scientists who actually concluded that straight hair tangles more than curly. Puh-lease. While my limp locks aren't nearly as sassy and gorgeous as my daughter's, they respond meekly to a brush, whereas her hair requires more attention and coaxing to behave. Sorta like Crabtot herself.
Now, normally I'm known for my cheapmommy ways. I don't enjoy spending moolla on products. But when I last spritzed some generic Albertson's detangler on Crabtot's lid, her locks became a pungent sticky wad of cotton-candy-like hairfloss. I tried other stuff too. But now I know what's worth breaking out the bucks for: Tiny Tillia's delectable Cherry Blossom Detangler.
Tiny Tillia has a fleet of yummy kid products, from tangerine bath powder to mango-cucumber body wash, but the detangler was necessity and not indulgence when C-tot had to present as a flower-girl in her auntie's wedding last weekend in Palm Springs, CA. Crabtot had an adorable turquoise frock, made from her grandma's 1960s prom dress, as well as a hot-pink-and-white polka-dotted hair bow for her hair. To let my child sport snarls on this day? Definitely not.
Thankfully the blossom detangler rocked those tot-locks to perfection: instead of knots Crabtot had curls, and they were bouncy but not sticky with weirdo residues. Plus, when she sailed past me up the aisle, tossing flower petals, her hair smelled heavenly.
Also nice to know: Tiny Tillia doesn't have any parabens, minerals and bad-for-baby-and-Mother-Earth whatnots in their stuff. They have a shop here.
What about you? Does your kid have rebellious hair? Have you any taming secrets to share?
