Your opening statement re positivity got my full attention. Been saying for years- change the conversations you have with yourself about your hair. It all starts there. Besides drying an styling my washday isn't even an hour. The time I leave my deep conditioner on and airdrying takes the time. Also its about attitude. I shampoo and then do housework while deep conditioning. If I do kids' hair, I detangle and shampoo, then deep condition while kiddo has breakfast or a snack or watch a cartoon while I make pancakes or a treat or we do a quick art project. While styling we watch something on TV. I find if kids' are distracted or I add a treat that they really enjoy ..... Something they like that only gets done on washdaymakes things are just so much easier. I don't have kids but I used to wash friends' kids hair to give them time to do some housework or run errands. So washday was a treat for kids. You know how kids are ..... I do exactly what their moms' do but they don't fuss wheb I do it ..... Simply cos I am not their parent. But I learnt I had to make things fun. And yes it takes half an hour. They spend more time playing with foam bath and bath crayons or making snacks or doing a quick craft than we actually spend on hair. And then there's this thing of copying me. So I do my hair while doing theirs and let their moms' try skipping a step when I don't do their hair ...... They will remind mom promptly what they're supposed to do. Washdays for kids can and should be fun. Do what you wished your wasdays were like as a kid. I know mine were horrible until a big cousin taught me how she did her washday and I took over my own washing and conditioning and mom only did the styling.

Hi Novella Thanks for the information. Do you provide hair consultation for adults living in the Uk? Thanks in Advance.

[@ncbynovella]

You're welcome! No just children currently (worldwide) 👑

[@unedited3171]

Thanks for the reply.Hopefully in the future, this is something you will look into my dear. Many of us ladies who are currently natural weren't taught how to take care of our hair when when growing up- so we are now struggling. Xx Isle of Wight.
