Earlier this month I wrote a guest post for
MinnesotaCurls on my little Curly Niyah. I wanted to share it with the Curly Girl Curl-munity in efforts to continue to provide information and education to help women like me care for their Curly Cuties tender tresses!
Keelii & Niyah
As the mother of a natural beauty, I am dedicated to
educating my little princess on the importance of embracing her natural kinks
and coils. As nature plays a major role in shaping ones ideology, I strive to
create a nurturing environment for my daughter that uplifts and empowers her to
love and adore her whole self. From the
top of her head to the tips of her tiny toes, I want her to embrace the “skin”
she’s in and the coils that crown her head.
Leading by example and celebrating my own natural beauty has begun to
cultivate a strong foundation for my daughter to embrace her natural hair.
From day one I cared for her delicate tresses with tender
loving care to ensure healthy strong growth.
From puffs, to ponnies, twists to braids, creating protective styles
that require low manipulation and minimal styling time have been extremely
important.
As a busy 2 year old,
my daughter has amazing patience during the styling process. We spend quiet
time together every morning and evening to ensure her hair is moisturized,
protected and thriving. After styling her hair for the day, she smiles as she
looks in the mirror at her chocolate brown coils. Looking up at me she states
“Mommy, my hair is pretty.” And I reply, “Yes baby it is, indeed!
