Quarantine curls.

That’s what I call hair that is missing a beautician and stays under a cap or bonnet most of the time.

Y’all, when the stay at home order hit in Georgia, I had just taken out my faux locs.

For better or for worse.💍 Farm season has been slow this winter & we got too much rain, so seedlings are just getting in the ground. Our chickens got worms & were dropping like flies. One of our new farm pups started killing 🐔 (sometimes farm life ain’t easy ya’ll!)I started 2020 sick & was sick for weeks. And then corona plagued our world, which brings some uncertainty to our farm business as we depend on the spring farmer’s market. But instead of anxiety & fear, we’re choosing Joy & peace. We’re soaking up these extra moments together even if it’s not the way we envisioned. I’m thankful he’s gotten so good at removing crochet hair, so now it only takes me half the time I would spend alone. And since Georgia is eliminating state testing because of school closures, the kids can enjoy learning again without all the pressure. So even when life is uncertain, we can find joy in the small things. What are you finding joy in today?

I was giving my scalp a break and had intended on getting another protective style. I was torn between faux locs or passion twists (again).

And then the shelter at home went from two weeks to a month, to now the end of April.

I got really lazy with my quarantine curls and my hair was started to look a little dry–okay let’s be totally honest—crazy.

Something about the uncertainty of our world caused me to focus on everything but my hair. But I have a lot of hair. And I was tired of fighting with it because I wasn’t giving it the care it needed.

It's easy to get lazy with your hair while we are stuck at home during the pandemic. Here are a few easy tips to have healthy quarantine curls.

I didn’t have access to my beautician for a trim and I couldn’t even peruse the hair care aisle to check out the newest products.

I had to rely on the products that have always served me well instead of shopping for new ones.

If you’re stuck at home like me and want to make sure that your quarantine curls still look great, here are a few quick and easy tips to have your curls popping again in no time!

Detangle quarantine curls fully before styling

If you have a head full of hair, detangling could easily take 30 minutes to an hour if you are carefully working through each section. I’ve been guilty of detangling in a rush, and then styling took longer because I had to work through knots.

It's easy to get lazy with your hair while we are stuck at home during the pandemic. Here are a few easy tips to have healthy quarantine curls.

Trust me, if you have a conditioner with good slip, then working out those tangles will work in your favor & styling will be so much easier!

Skip the products with harmful ingredients

What kinds of harmful ingredients? Stay away from products with words like fragrance, parabens, sulfates.

Why are fragrances toxic??

Phthalates used to make fragrances last longer, have been linked to many hazardous health conditions, such as reduced sperm count, liver and breast cancers, reproductive malformation and diabetes.

Did you know that under the Fair Package and Labeling act of 1966,  companies don’t have to list their ingredients?

Check out the Netflix documentary Stink for more information.

One of my favorite books that teaches you how to make your own DIY products is Kinky Locs. It was written by a licensed esthetician and gives several recipes for rinses, hair masks, deep conditioners and more!

Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize

Curly hair needs moisture, especially the thicker, coarser textures. Before manipulating your hair in any style, make sure your hair is moistened with water.

This is my favorite water bottle.

Since everyone in my house has curly hair (with the exception of my husband), we have one in every bedroom. It sprays water evenly and doesn’t get the hair soaking wet.

Sometimes I like to add oils (lavender or cedarwood) or aloe vera juice to my spray bottle to add an extra boost of hydration to my curls.

Protect your curls at night

My favorite cap for sleeping is the Grace Elayae slap. Every cap or scarf I’ve ever owned has always come off at night. The Grace Eleyae cap stays put and keeps my curls protected while I sleep.

Most days I’m lounging around the house, on a Zoom call with my co-workers or essential oil friends, homeschooling the kids, or helping my hubby on the farm.

None of these duties really requires my hair to be free, so when I take my cap off, I often keep my hair in twists.

I love doing twist outs on the weekend. I keep my hair twisted after washing & wear my twists as a style (in my younger years I would never do that but psshh..) Then usually on Sunday morning (church) or Monday morning (work), I untwist them. I don’t fluff out my hair day 1 because I love the super defined look & after all that work, I want my twist out to last all week. Some people use (leave in) conditioner only, but I love that gel gives my twists a non-frizzy look + they last longer.

I know, it’s tough. It’s tough to have to do your own hair all the time. We’ll get through this together.

 

Curly Hair Accessories You Need This Season

When I was a kid, the main curly hair accessories everyone had were beads and scrunchies. Now, the options are endless!

Curly Hair Accessories You Need This Season

Adding accessories to your curly hair gives you an opportunity to experiment with your look whether you are rocking your natural hair or wearing a protective style.

Scrunchies

Scrunchies didn’t have to make a comeback, because they never really went out of style–they were just reinvented! Now you can find scrunchies in all sorts of patterns, textures, and fabrics. They are perfect for buns, updos, and braided styles.

Metal cuffs

Metal cuffs make the perfect curly hair accessories because they are super simple to put in. They come in a variety of shapes and colors and look amazing in a variety of curl types!

Turbans

Turbans are chic and really require little effort. They are perfect for bad hair days, or for running out the house quickly while still looking put together.

Last night before I got in the shower, I saw what looked like poison ivy. I never got poison ivy growing up, but since my husband has become a farmer, it’s happened more times than I care to mention. In fact I just told my husband last night that moments like that make me hate the farm. But truthfully, I could never hate the farm.

A post shared by Diedre ❤ Are Those Your Kids (@arethoseyourkids) on Dec 12, 2018 at 2:00pm PST

Turbans have come a long way, and are available for babies, toddlers, and adults.

Grace Eleyae makes a beautiful collection of headgear–from turbans to beanies, to satin-lined caps, they get the importance of keeping curly hair tangle-free without compromising effort or style.

Wooden beads

The old plastic beads from the 80s have been given a makeover through wooden beads. They are the perfect accessory for all sorts of curly hairstyles!

The trick with wooden beads is having a tool to thread them with. I suggest a threader that isn’t cheap plastic. I used the one that came with the beads at the hair store and it broke after threading 1 set of beads.

You may also want to check the width of the beads against the size of your braids. The smaller the opening, the harder it is to thread. But once you have added beads to your look, you won’t regret it!

Yarn/Strings

I love my curls, but every now and then, your girl needs a break from the daily grind of washing and styling.

One of my favorite protective styles is braids. Right now I’m wearing passion twists and I’ve been decorating them with colorful yarn and strings.

I decided to help my hubby collect eggs & pick sorrel so that he could get home earlier. I changed out of my work clothes & into.his farm gear. The only problem? No scrunchie for these long cute #passiontwists. I’ve been wearing them for a month now & have new growth like whoa. Whenever I wear a protective style, I try to get my money’s worth out of it. And let’s be real….mornings with little to no hair maintenance is the life I like. So I think I’ll be getting these again👍🏾

A post shared by Diedre ❤ Are Those Your Kids (@arethoseyourkids) on Nov 11, 2019 at 7:57pm PST

The yarn takes just takes a few minutes to put in. All you have to do is cut it the length you want, tie it at the top of your braid, then criss-cross the yarn/string down your braid.

I love mixing up the colors to accessorize my look. You can find braid yarn/string at your local hair store, Sally Beauty Supply or on Amazon.

What is Amazon Prime Day?

This year, it is a two-day shopping event. For Amazon Prime members, it’s like Christmas in July! There are sales on items in every category.

Amazon Prime Day is like Christmas in July for Amazon Prime members. It's a day with amazing sales. Here is a list of sale items for curly girls!

How do you get started?

The best way to take advantage of Amazon Prime deals is to watch the items you like a week in advance (it’s not too late to start!), then on the sale days, purchase your items through the Amazon app or Amazon.com.

The best part about being a prime member is that certain deals drop on prime day and you’ll be notified when they go live. Special prime day options have the prime badge, so you know if they qualify or not.

You’ll get a $10 Amazon credit if you sign on to the app for the first time, and another $10 credit after your first in-app purchase.

Also, if you shop the Whole Foods Market (in store or via Prime now), you’ll get $10 on Prime Day.

Now that you know how Prime Day works, I want to share a few of my favorite products with you.

Product Recommendations

CurlMix

I’ll admit, I didn’t hear too many people raving about CurlMix, so I wasn’t rushing to try it.

Amazon Prime Day is like Christmas in July for Amazon Prime members. It's a day with amazing sales. Here is a list of sale items for curly girls!

This summer, my cousin had some and I decided to try it in my wash and go. My curls were popping, so I became a fan! I haven’t tried all of the items in their 4 step product line, but the step 3 Pure Avocado Moisturizer is great!

Hairfinity

I can’t say enough good things about Hairfinity. I love the shampoo, conditioner & hair vitamins.

The products are a little on the pricey side, but worth every penny. I don’t typically rave about a shampoo alone, but the Hairfinity shampoo is the real deal. It leaves my hair squeaky clean and moisturized. 
And the gummy vitamins taste like candy! I’ve been taking them to combat postpartum hair loss.

Amazon Prime Day is like Christmas in July for Amazon Prime members. It's a day with amazing sales. Here is a list of sale items for curly girls!

One of the deals I’m most excited about is the 50% off all conditioners and treatments.

I have 3 conditioners to 1 shampoo. Why? Because conditioners bring the life back into dry, brittle hair. A good conditioner also helps to detangle curls without breakage.

There will also be 50% off styling tools, 30% clearance items, and buy 1 get 1 75% hair spray/hair styling products.

 

Good luck curly girls finding all the things you need on a dime! Tag me @arethoseyourkids on Instagram and show me what you found! 

 

3 Quick & Easy Tips for Detangling Curly Hair Without Breakage

April 13, 2019 By Diedre 2 Comments

Detangling curly hair without breakage is tricky.

Detangling curly hair without breakage is tricky. Here are a few quick and easy tips to keep curly hair healthy and strong without breakage.

I have 3 children, and all of them have (different types) curly hair! The process of caring for their hair has come through trial and error. I have curly hair myself, so I know that detangling curly hair without breakage can be tricky.

Here are a few tips that I’ve used for detangling curly hair without breakage:

Keep hair in protective styles

My girls love wearing their hair out, but the days that I allow it are few and far between. Frequent styling, washing, and even tossing and turning at night cause damage to your hair from the constant tugging and pulling on the ends, which are the most fragile part of your curls.

Detangling curly hair without breakage is tricky. Here are a few quick and easy tips to keep curly hair healthy and strong without breakage.

Protective styles can be as simple as buns, twists, pigtails and updos or as complicated as braids and cornrows.

Wash & Detangle Weekly

How often should you wash curly hair?

Some curly hair textures (like my 4c hair) only need to be washed weekly. Others feel and look best washing 2-3 times a week.

Spending time weekly to make sure you hair is clean and free of knots will reduce your time working knots out of your curls in the long run.

Some curly girls choose to wash more than once a week, but honestly it depends on your hair and lifestyle. Curly girls who are more active and use more products will need to wash more frequently than someone who isn’t as active.

Let Conditioners (Leave In & Wash Out) Do the Work For You

When I don’t take the time to properly condition my hair, the knots are out of control!

Detangling curly hair without breakage is tricky. Here are a few quick and easy tips to keep curly hair healthy and strong without breakage.

Using deep conditioners & leave in conditioners weekly make it so that detangling is a breeze. The products soften the hair and work the tangles out so that I don’t have to fight with my curls to style them.

Mielle Organics Babassu Oil And Mint Deep Conditioner  is hands down one of my favorite deep conditioners and works on all hair types.Knowing your curl pattern will help you know what kind of products your hair needs.

For example, my youngest daughter has wavy, curly hair. Her curls don’t do well with thick butters and creams because they weigh her hair down.
Detangling curly hair without breakage is tricky. Here are a few quick and easy tips to keep curly hair healthy and strong without breakage.

Some of my favorite leave ins for her hair are Kinky Curly Knot Today & Camille Rose Naturals Moisture Milk.

Bonus Tip: Trim Hair Regularly

Since my son has been born, I haven’t done the best job of taking care of my 4C hair. Late nights (and not sleeping through the night) has caused me to take the quick and easy route. I mostly wear my hair in a puff, and washing/conditioning/detangling takes no more than 10 minutes.

Unfortunatly, I have been the worst at keeping my hair trimmed. Shortly after the baby was born, I noticed that no matter how much deep conditioner I used, my hair still stayed in knots.

I finally scheduled an appointment with my beautician and an inch had to be cut off.

Two weeks ago, I cut another inch off.

It hurt because I’ve been working so hard at growing out my hair, and it finally touched my shoulders!!  (Those of you with curly hair know this is a big deal because curly hair shrinks)

People often ask how I get my girls to sit still while I'm styling their curls. Here are a few quick and easy ways to get your child to enjoy the process.

But now my hair is healthy and tangle free, so bring on the length!

Our skin absorbs 60% of what we put on it, so using non-toxic products for baby hair & skin ensures that your baby is exposed to the safest ingredients.

Our skin absorbs 60% of what we put on it, so making the choice to use non-toxic products for baby hair & skin care can leave you at ease, knowing that you are using the safest ingredients.

Our skin absorbs 60% of what we put on it, so using non-toxic products for baby hair & skin ensures that your baby is exposed to the safest ingredients.

Choosing non-toxic products for your baby is important because their bodies are more sensitive to chemicals than ours. Chemicals that are used in products can adversly affect their development.

We can’t completely eliminate our baby’s exposure to toxic chemicals, but we can definitely make conscious choices about the products we use for baby skin and hair care.

Our skin absorbs 60% of what we put on it, so using non-toxic products for baby hair & skin ensures that your baby is exposed to the safest ingredients.

When you are looking at product labels, make sure the ingredient list of full of things you can pronouce. They shouldn’t be full of fillers and preservatives.

Here are a few of my favorite baby skin &  hair products that are gentle, safe & moisturizing! 

Young Living

I use essential oils daily in my household, so when Young Living came out with the Seedlings baby line, I knew I had to have it. What I love the most about Young Living is the Seed to Seal promise that guarantees the purity & potency of each oil.

The baby oil and linen spray are two of my favorite products from the Seedlings line. Everytime my son wears the oil, people ask if he is wearing cologne.

Our skin absorbs 60% of what we put on it, so using non-toxic products for baby hair & skin ensures that your baby is exposed to the safest ingredients.

It has a nice, clean smell, and hydrates his skin.

The linen spray is lavendar scented and I spray it in his bed before a nap or bedtime. It has a nice calming effect, so sometimes I spray it on my own bed too!

Our skin absorbs 60% of what we put on it, so using non-toxic products for baby hair & skin ensures that your baby is exposed to the safest ingredients.

Want to know more about why I chose essential oils as a part of my everyday routine for my children? You can read more about my journey to wellness here.

Burts Bees

Burts Bees uses a variety of natural ingredients in their vast line of products: almond, aloe, beeswax, cocoa butter, honey, acai berry, just to name a few!

89% of their packaging is made from recylcable materials.

Not only do they make a wide range of products for expecting mamas and babies, but their products extend to oral care, makeup, and so much more!

Many Ethnicities

Our skin absorbs 60% of what we put on it, so using non-toxic products for baby hair & skin ensures that your baby is exposed to the safest ingredients.

What I love about Many Ethnicities is that it was created by a multiracial mama who saw a need for multiracial curly haired kids to have products that worked specifically for them, and she created it! Her daughters have 3 different textures of curly hair, so she created her products with kids like hers in mind.

Honey Baby Naturals

Honey Baby Naturals is the first Latina owned hair and skin care line for naturals that is available in major retail stores. That alone is HUGE!!

For 15 years, she worked in the hair and skin care industry before stepping out to create a brand of her own. What I love about this line is she has hair and skin care products that are gentle enough for babies, yet powerful enough for your older kids too!

Shea Moisture

This brand has been around since the 90’s and doesn’t disappoint. Not only do they have hair and skin care items for babies, but they also have products for expecting and nursing moms!


I stumbled upon the nursing balm in TJMaxx while I was pregnant. It makes the perfect new mama gift!

It’s wash day! I only have time to wash my hair on the weekend so by that time, my hair is dry and in desperate need of a good cleanse and moisture. I can give it that and more with @rawsugarliving’s New Truly Unruly Shampoo and Conditioner. I LOVE a great shampoo and conditioner duo that makes me look forward to wash day. This shampoo has one of my favorite ingredients, apple cider vinegar which is awesome for cleansing while fighting frizz, along with avocado and rosemary oil. The conditioner has tons of slip for detangling and then I top it off with the All That Shine hair masque. The mask melts into my hair like butterrrr. • • Just like their body products, @rawsugarliving’s hair products are made cold pressed ingredients that smooth and tame unruly curls🤗 Plus, @rawsugarliving gives me another reason to stock up on my favs. For every product purchased, a fresh bar of soap is given to a family in need. You can find them at your local Target or Walgreens.🧡 #rawThankYou #rawlovin #Ad
