Hair Care Routines

In the last few days I've been busy working out, researching hair care routines, and starting a natural hair Facebook group. 

One of my favorite things to do is talk about natural hair care. I have lots of friends who have been natural for a while, are considering going natural, are currently transitioning to natural, or parenting children with natural hair. I randomly have conversations with most of them on Facebook about what's working and what's not working. I figured it would be a great idea to bring all of my favorite naturals together to have one big, ongoing conversation all about hair! The best part about the group is everyone is encouraged to invite their natural friends so that we can have tons of perspective in a respectable atmosphere. 

Thanks to my new natural community, I've finally come up with hair care routines for me and my little one. Please see below and feel free to comment.
