If you have littles with curly hair, you know there can be some challenges when it comes to getting them styled well. It’s not only important to have mamas involved, but dads too. Having dads on board when it comes to wash day, styling and regular maintenance of curls is not only a great way for them to understand what kids need for great curls but also to spend some awesome quality time.
The dads notice and appreciate their kids’ curls, it helps lay a foundation for kids to grow up accepting their curls and looks. For years, women with curly and natural hair have struggled with their accepting their curls. A lot of this has been due to standards set upon them by society, perpetuating the myth that to be admired and be accepted into society that they must have straight hair. This has led to women spending countless hours and dollars in the pursuit of a standard that not only is unreasonable but also removes them from who they are. More and more women are beginning to cast off the standards set upon them and to embrace their own natural locks, and these standards begin at home.
Involving dads in their little curlies’ curl care regime allows them to gain a better understanding for what their little one is managing when it comes to their curls. As we know, washing, styling and caring for curls takes a lot of time and effort. Dads can step in to help moms caring for curls, and this gives dads a great opportunity to be involved. They can learn together with their little ones, share special time and help their kids gain some positive self confidence.
