Hot Weather May Bring Needed Changes in Hair & Skin Care Routines

Monday June 22, 2009

It's hot. It's really, really hot here in KS. Three digit temperatures. And with the change in the weather, comes needed changes in our parenting, especially if we are parenting children with diverse backgrounds and cultures.

It's important to remember the changing needs of children with darker skin tones. This includes skin care and hair care. I have heard from many adoptees that have shared their love for their adoptive parents, but wish there was more knowledge on their parent's part, when it came to hair care.

We are fortunate to have access to more black hair care information these days. So, hopefully our children will look back at past photos and cringe at the stuff we all cringe about - clothing styles. But, they won't look back and cringe at the lack of proper hair and skin care.
