The other day I picked up a organizer case at the dollar store for all the girls combs and headbands and elastics.  I was showing them to Jrock last night and he said “what about beads?”

So we went to my friend Shelley’s hair care website, Sharuba, and picked out a whole bunch of snaps and beads, as well as a couple of beaders and a coil comb.  Shelley runs her store out of her home in Saskatchewan, and she is an invaluable resource for black kids hair care if you don’t live in a big city.  Kelowna is big enough that we can get hair products, but beads and snaps and kid-sized sleeping caps (oh, we got two of those as well) are a bit beyond what Kelowna has to offer.

ALL ETHIO PARENTS-TO-BE: NOTE! One of the coolest things on Shelley’s site are the home videos of her doing her girls’ hair.  They explain how to do box braids, coils, etc.  It’s really helpful if you don’t have the same type of hair as your kids.  Jrock was pretty interested in watching them, and was like “I can do that!”

Which is good.  Because there are TWO of them.  He will have to!

PS: We’re expecting an update sometime this week or early next week – I can’t wait to see the girls with 3 week-long hair! lol
