Hair

My daughter currently has Type 2B/C hair, while my son has 3A/B. I’m still learning their hair types so I’m in between the two lol. But so far the products that I use work for both of their hair. I also wash their hair once a week/as needed.

This is the only soap so far that I've tried that doesn't irritate my daughter's eczema. It's all natural ingredients and they use glyphosate free oatmeal, which is a win in my book!
