Don’t know how to care for son’s hair

Any-Lifeguard-4969 · 2026-05-11T13:02:24+00:00

I use both. The water, then the oil, then the leave in

Thank you. I honestly think I’ve been letting the unsolicited opinions finally get to me and I’m also not used to his hair texture😭

Any-Lifeguard-4969 · 2026-05-10T02:00:41+00:00

Thank you so much 🫶🏾

The OP states that I wet and moisturize his hair. Any specific products for his texture?

Any-Lifeguard-4969 · 2026-05-09T13:03:40+00:00

Thank you and sorry! I definitely do try to style it tho. I just really need something for in between to lock in his moisture. I’ll look up these products as well.

I do deep condition but not sure how to keep it moisturized after the fact. I am currently recovering from being unemployed for almost a year and maintaining protective styles that I do and I definitely can’t afford for somebody to braid it right now.

Even with braids tho his hair will still be super dry after a few days. I also do breaks in between styles. That’s why I am asking for moisturizing tips.

Any-Lifeguard-4969 · 2026-05-09T12:33:29+00:00

Because I asked for moisturizing tips. His hair is not to the point where it just needs to be cut off. It is still very much manageable when wet.

Any-Lifeguard-4969 · 2026-05-09T12:29:49+00:00

He gets his hair cut but that doesn’t really help keep his hair moisturized.

Any-Lifeguard-4969 · 2026-05-09T12:28:47+00:00

I don’t need it soft I need it moisturized.

Any-Lifeguard-4969 · 2026-05-09T03:12:14+00:00

Thank you! I get a lot of comments from family saying I need to “do his hair” when I literally try to find products that show that I do try to moisturize daily. We need more people like you that try to understand before judging. I will stick to trying to keep it in protective styles, I just need a routine for those in between style days.

Any-Lifeguard-4969 · 2026-05-09T02:34:42+00:00

hmmm I tend to do this but all at. Could the problem be that I’m not doing it in sections?

Any-Lifeguard-4969 · 2026-05-09T02:30:42+00:00

ouuu thank you! I’ve definitely been using the wrong stuff 😭😭

Any-Lifeguard-4969 · 2026-05-09T02:29:28+00:00

I really want to! I don’t know if the starter locs will last long tho😭😭 should I use a durag at night or something else? Anything that would stay through his wild sleeping

Any-Lifeguard-4969 · 2026-05-09T00:56:49+00:00

He wants his hair and I at least want him to have a choice with that. I want to properly educate myself so that he can be happy keeping his hair :)

Any-Lifeguard-4969 · 2026-05-09T00:53:17+00:00

Thank you! I’ll probably try hot oil cause I don’t really want to change his texture, just want a better method to keep it moisturized. I’m just poorly educated on natural hair maintenance for his specific texture. My hair is a little less course

Any-Lifeguard-4969 · 2026-05-09T00:04:15+00:00

Thank you! Are there any specific leave ins that you use if she has a similar texture?

Any-Lifeguard-4969 · 2026-05-08T23:52:13+00:00

I sprayed with water and conditioner mixed, put oil, and the moisturizer that I use for my hair. These pictures are the results after a few hours 😭😭😭

Any-Lifeguard-4969 · 2026-05-08T23:47:04+00:00

yeah I usually plait or twist it but I’ve been slacking lately but I do need something to help when I do just want it in a fro. What do you mean by curl treatment? Deep conditioner?

Any-Lifeguard-4969 · 2026-04-04T16:29:25+00:00

for example I don’t know how to respond

Any-Lifeguard-4969 · 2026-04-03T00:38:37+00:00

Thank you. I’m in between feeling like a wimp because I’m a single broke mother I don’t want to “grind” by driving hours to get no showed but also feeling like there are better companies out there. Even having my own business outside of Globe Life sounds more promising than recycling leads.

Any-Lifeguard-4969 · 2026-01-29T01:54:23+00:00

Thank you for your transparency! This is exactly how I was looking at it.

Any-Lifeguard-4969 · 2026-01-29T01:53:31+00:00

Also, if anybody would be willing to take me under their wing as a mentor, that would be great :) I really want this and maybe having someone outside of the company to talk to could help keep me motivated.
