First We’ll Start with Washing & Deep Conditioning for Happy Natural Hair!

Okay, Dads, let's talk about the foundation of healthy natural hair: washing and, especially, deep conditioning. These aren't just "nice-to-dos"; they're essential steps that make styling easier, hair healthier, and your child's scalp happier! Think of it like watering a plant and giving it some good fertilizer – it needs both to thrive!
