I always wondered what my daughters hair would be like from the moment I found out I was pregnant with a girl. I thought she would have curly thick hair right from the womb. My hair is naturally tightly curled, kinky, and thick. My husbands hair is naturally straight, black, and extremely thick. I imagined that my daughter would come out the womb with thick, curly, black hair. The day she was born she did have a head full of hair but it was straight. I thought "okay that's fine her hair will curl up at three months. I Googled it". Well three months came around and still no sign of curls. Looking back on it I will admit my expectations were high but when she hit three months I also expected her hair to be long enough for me to do something with it. Well her hair was even shorter at three months than when she was a newborn. I had no choice but to be patient, after all she wouldn't be bald forever. Finally around the six month mark my babies hair started growing really fast... And it was wavy. I was so excited to see some texture in there hahaha. I was beginning to think she would solely have her father's hair with no trace of mine. Well as the month went on her hair became even more curly and long. By the time she was one years old I could do about four different hairstyles in her hair. Her texture is so smooth. I can brush her hair straight but it pops back into its curls a few moments later. The back is a little more dry but Im not sure if thats because she sleeps on it. Oils are too much for her hair. I've tried coconut oil, olive oil, and jojoba oil in her hair. What I do to keep her hair moisturized is use lotion. I like the Aveeno, Burts Bees, and Shea Moisture brands. Which by the way they make baby lotions. My favorite though is hands down the baby lotion of Burts Bees. I'm sure our regiment will change and expand as she gets older but for now just lotion works.
