At Home Beauty Spa

So our activity started off with the intention of trimming Sierra's hair as it has grown back a good inch or more and the tangles and tears have returned as well!  I have just been trimming her hair myself here at the house as it has turned out alright in the past... but I must have her thick hair wet to cut it.  This way it lays down and stays down flatter and straighter for me to make more accurate snips! 

It was the middle of the day and we decided that we needed to get Sierra's hair washed so it was ready for trimming.  Then the light bulb went off and I had fond memories come streaming back from my childhood.  My paternal grandma, Daisy, only had two little boys to raise and so loved and long for little girls.  She used to love to curl mine and my sisters hair when we were little... with a curling iron or the old foam or Velcro like curlers!  She also loved to wash our hair in the kitchen sink like we were at a salon.  So I decided to try this out on Sierra! 

We got the counter and sink all cleaned off and then prepared it with towels for comfort and cushion.  With some help I got her up on the sink and lay her back.  Then used the hose to rinse her hair, massage her scalp, rinse some more and condition.  She wasn't quite sure what to think at first, but in the end she enjoyed it... and she no longer wanted her hair trimmed!  It was a fun first experience for us both and brought back lots of good memories.  And I still to this day love to have my hair shampooed or my head massaged in general!
