My golden curly haired little boy

Since summer is just around the corner I have been debating on cutting Noah's hair. When he sweats he pours, and his stench is that of a puppy dog. A smell I'm not used to since I've raised girls. I'm not sure how to tame his mane, and I certainly don't want to buzz, snip, clip, or cut any part of his curls on the back of his head, but it is starting to look a little long on the sides. I have to put his hair behind his ears as if he's a girl. I seriously need to somehow trim his hair without cutting off those sweet curls.

Any ideas? As y'all know he is my first boy, and any advice would be helpful.

No matter where we go everyone including my own family tells me he looks nothing like me except that he has my eyes, and my nose. I also get a bonus because of my curls. That's pretty much all people say he inherited from me. It doesn't bother me as much anymore. I just grateful that he is a healthy, sweet, and good looking little boy!

Curls or no curls...I know that he's mine, and that I carried him for nine months. He knows I'm 'the mama' and that's all that matters. Who knows when he gets older if he'll skin will turn olive, and his hair will get darker. Only time will tell.

Grateful for curls

"You can call my hair kinky coily, whatever! It's mine, it's me, and I love it!"

How many of you have curly hair? I mean the real deal from root all the way to the end. In other words...you were born with it. Well I do. Sometimes it agrees with me, sometimes it doesn't. This past week has been rainy and muggy. On days like today my hair gets really frizzy which means I have to put a lot of product on.  

I remember being teased and made fun of a lot as a little girl, because my hair looked like an afro (at least that's what the mean kids described it as.) Back then I didn't own a flat iron and I certainly didn't know what kind of product to put on my type of hair. My mother wasn't the worldly type, and she didn't really teach me on personal grooming. Flex shampoo and conditioner are the only hair products I remember using until I moved out of the house at 19! Do they even make that anymore? She kept my hair short and bushy, and the teasing lasted all the way up until the ninth grade. It was a sad period of my life, but I obviously survived the bullying and got over it!

My oldest daughter is a mirror image of me (so I've been told.) From the looks to the personality!

 

She's fortunate because her hair never looked like mine when I was younger, and I'm glad that it doesn't! I'm also grateful that I learned how to fix my hair, and that I taught my girls how to groom their hair. I am also grateful for products such as Biosilk! This product in my opinion makes our curls softer and shinier. Sierra actually gets a lot of compliments, and all of her friends LOVE it, (especially the ones with straight hair!) 

At 39 years of age I think my hair looks pretty healthy...even with a little bit of gray.

I love my hair...and I think it shows!
