Me Time!
-
Ya have tried varioud oils over the years - so so for me, more for nourishing and shine than for taming. I just like to a change once in a while. Currently my hair is on soft rebonding with my natural curls at the bottom, so can blow straight or enhance the natural curls, result is like a c- perm. If i don’t straighten, with the right products will be like s perm hair. If i use a diffuser, i can get loose ringlets. But the hairdryer is very heavy, so i don’t do it often. Lol.
If your daughter has natural wavy hair, she can half dry it, put in the oil and tie into a loose plait. Remove when dry and brush out gently. She should get nice tidy waves.
For thick hair i highly recommend a detangler. -

I recall you have eczema.
Eczema is permanently on my lower legs and feet. Just yo-yo between flare up or remission. Now feet having a flare up again
need start applying steroid cream
Palms okay if I avoid detergents. Can't even use those liquid handwash at shopping malls toilets will trigger eczema. I still use lah but need to standby lotion -
For the jojoba oil, did u put on her hair or scalp?

That's similar to ds2. It took me a long time to clear his feet. Did it happen after you stepped in some detergent or your shoes rubbed the skin of your feet? You may want to check if you can wear whichever material the shoe is. I know of a case where the eczema was a reaction to leather products.ammonite:

Avoided scalp. Only on her hair. Already stop using oil for a year. Very good. Effect remains.
dd1 has short hair and layered internally. So her hair appear thinner and straighter. Not frizzy. -
Sounds good! Wonder if i can persuade ds1 to use it.

I will try the jojoba,oil. we have lots of hair though dd2 has super straight and soft hair. my hair so much tamer as i grow older. that’s why no need frequent rebond. now even 1 time rebond a year is still manageable. when i was in my twenties, need rebond about after 3/4 months.

i cannot have the 5mins thing to get ready for an outing when kids were younger. I need to bathe them one by one, pack alot of things, milk, hot water, water, additional sets of clothes, diapers, get them go poo poo, clear bladder etc and the last 15mins for myself to ahower and change. thinking back, I feel so easy nowammonite:
Dinner time? DH did that for a while, but we all protested over the unfairness of it because he would have showered etc and get himself ready LEISURELY, then say, \"Let's go in five minutes. \" and spend time tapping his feet impatiently :razz: It actually made everyone very stressed because my boys need 15min each, and I do not want them to get into the habit of 5min showers. God knows how dirty that is. (If they have to be dirty in NS so be it, but not right now under my nose!) Eventually I put my foot down. :mad: Now he gives us one hour notice and I use the shower first. :pokeeye:
My husband isn't unreasonable, and will usually give us enough notice, especially since he knows I don't do \"spontaneous\" well! But he is the spontaneous type, and it can be hard on him to have to plan everything well in advance. I didn't cut my hair because of that anyway; that's just a bonus that he appreciates! My reason for cutting my hair short was coming back to Singapore - being a SAHM with 2 small kids, and with the heat (we don't use aircon at home much), short hair seemed like the best plan. I knew when I cut it that I was almost certain never to grow it out again.
