Mamas with black children, when did you start using oil/leave in conditioners in your baby’s hair ?

Question

Im guessing its when they get out of the phase of having super silky baby hair but I wanted to make sure, I’m having my first baby and I’m not great at hair so I want to make sure I have a good hair routine going for baby girl from the jump so that it’s as healthy as possible thus making it more manageable hopefully, I appreciate any advice ☺️

Answer

I would say 5 months old its okay to use a drop or 2 of olive oil or argon oil in their hair to keep it moisturized, by the time they’re 1-2 they’ll 100% be needing more product oil, hair grease, edge control bc if you don’t use it their hair will look dry, damaged, & frizzy, make sure if you bathe your baby every day you aren’t also 
washing their hair daily (black hair doesn’t produce a lot of its own natural oil which means washing it can strip it easily causing damage/breakage/bad texture) also make sure you’re washing their hair w something sulfate & silicon free (sulfates strip the hair of moisture & cause damage also) if you’re not good at doing hair such as braiding etc an easy go to is evenly parting their hair 2 to 4 ways into little pony tails . I recommend shea moisture products !! Great quality
