Olive oil and coconut oil, nothing more is needed for such a young baby. If you use Shea butter working that in her hair works also but the oils are awesome.

right on.
During fall/winter I use Shea Butter. Daily, pretty much head to toe. Black soap and/or witch hazel for the face and neck. Occasionally olive oil for the scalp. When I had loc's I used fresh aloe from the leaf on my scalp to stay moisturized without clogging the pores (getting the gel in a bottle works too). Instead of cologne I tend to make my own oils (olive and almold or apricot kernel blended with different more "manly" essential oils): cypress, vanilla, a dash of bergomot, ginger and sandalwood, and like a drop of clove. Spring/summer I tend to shift to pure coconut oil a bit more; seems to be lighter on my skin.
big up TG on the vegan tip--tho I eat cheese once in a while for the last couple of years (i missed 'real' pizza; soy cheese is mad expensive sometimes)

OK, so let me ask the ladies...my daughter is 9.Her mom is not so much into the natural products as much as she used to be and keeps getting her hair pressed (not permed per se, but still). If not that, then it's always in braids. The argument is 'well, you're not gonna take care of her hair so I have to do what's easy for me.' Girl has serious back to Africa hair--like, get her hair pressed, run in the sprinkler for 10 minutes and it's a waste of $30.
So my question is this: what products can/would you recommend that will keep her hair soft and *manageable* and easy to maintain but still naturally curly for a semi-single dad who would prefer for his child to let her hair breathe?

Get a spray bottle (dollar store/sally's/wal-mart) and mix water, coconut oil, and extra virgin olive oil. Water is the ultimate moisturizer and the two aforementioned oils are capable of penetrating the hair shaft and nourishing the strand. Shake well and spray it on 2x daily. There are also some good YT vids that give good advice and this blog--->http://beadsbraidsbeyond.blogspot.com/ offers great advice. Tell the mother to cut down on the pressing or your daughter will incur heat damage and grow up with the mentality that her hair is only "good" when it's straight. Instill healthy natural hair care practices in her early on and tell her her kinks are beautiful everyday
.Six- Thanks. Much love. The crazy thing is both her mom and I had locks when we met, so she's "been there" but has kinda gone...mainstream. To be fair, the girl's been in braids (extensions) for the last few months. But yeah, I kinda get that slow burn when she has her hair pressed and everyone else is like, "oh your hair looks so pretty." So whenever her hair is out, albeit briefly, I tell her how much I love it. I have used both oils you mentioned when I can, but not in spray form. I have a feeling she will probably go natural on her own once she's old enough to take care of it on her own, like maybe 12.

i dnt really use any 'natural' products except for coconut oil which i put on my scalp and i blow dry my hair with Organic Olive oil hair moisturizer. bt i have to find SOMETHING for my hair during the summer b/c i try not to put any heat to it for abt 4-5 months to allow it to grow during the summer. bt a lot of these recipes seem like they could work. especially the water/olive oil/coconut oil. heck, i didn't even know coconut oil came in a liquid form smh

Start with a microdermabrasion or scrub your face with a little baking soda or grinded coffee beans.
Mix coffe with olive oil or water.
The coffee is invigorating and will liven up your skin while the olive oil will leave your skin super moisturized with a natural dewy appearance.
Once you have completed that, to get that evening, glow, use a shimmer lotion or highlight cheek bones and the T-zone using a gold or bronze shimmer powder/liquid.
I don't use eye shadow but if you are and wish to get a sleeker/wet look, slightly dampen applicator brush before applying color. This allows the shadow to glide on smoothly and set evenly while giving it that clean look.
