Modeling Her New Hat

Modeling her new hat
Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00980

We headed home from Connecticut today. We drove up 195 to Wareham to meet my parents and pick up the kids. We enjoyed a lunch at Red Robin and then headed home. It was good to see Mom and Dad and enjoy lunch together. The kids had a great time visiting with them. Andy and Eva both got to spend time with their grandparents, cousins and also their friends. Andy made a new friend, too. They told us all about it at lunch. Andy also did a lot of training with Eva to work at earning his white and blue stripes at karate. This past Thursday he did not earn his white stripe because his details were not up to par. So he was very disappointed but Mr. Brochu talked with him and reassured him that we all believed in him and given some practice he could not only earn his white stripe but his blue stripe this coming week. Andy handled it very well and he practiced with Eva each day that we were away. Mr. Brochu allowed us to record the form so that Andy could work from that as he practiced.

At the hotel

Before we left the hotel I had to get a photo of what the hotel looked like. We had taken the kids on a Facetime tour of the room that made them laugh like crazy. It was rather ridiculous, but it was clean and not a bad place overall.

When we got home Allison had to dye Eva’s hair to a more acceptable and natural color for school. So, as the air color set in we watched Avengers: Endgame because that was the last big movie that Eva had not seen in order to be up on all things Marvel. She does still have to watch Spider-Man: Far from Home but that is more stand alone overall. She can get to that later. She had to see Endgame before Shang-Chi, however. Afterwards she began watching Wandavision and I figure she’ll tear through all those shows pretty quickly.

In order to keep the color from getting on everything we had to put Eva’s hair in a plastic bag. She modeled her new hat for us.

Review: Fairy Tales Hair Care

Fairy Tales Detangling Conditioner

Both of our children were born with full heads of hair. We let Eva’s hair grow and grow and grow some more. Her hair was at one point all the way down to her tush. She had very long hair. At her most recent haircut she had five inches cut off and still she had very, very long hair. Her long hair is very beautiful but maintaining it is not a picnic. There is the washing, drying and then the combing and the tears. Tears from Eva because I inevitably pull her hair and it hurts. And my tears of frustration over accidentally hurting my little girl.

We’ve tried detanglers and those cutesy kids shampoos with conditioners in them but they don’t work very well and combing is still a real pain in the neck. I still had a difficult time combing Eva’s hair and once it was done and she slept on it I had trouble again in the morning, which is no fun before school. Plus now it is Winter and static becomes an issue. Eva’s hair sometimes looks like she rubbed a balloon on it and held it over her head to pull the hair up. It is crazy.

Fairy Tales Shampoo and Conditioner

For the past month we’ve been trying out Fairy Tales Hair Care products and the change has been dramatic. I noticed after the first time I used the products that tubby time and the hair combing afterwards went so much smoother. I know that when I comb Eva’s hair now after the tub she won’t cry from me pulling on tangles. I know that if I run into some tangles I can use the Fairy Tales Static Free Leave-in Detangling Spray and the comb will go through her hair smoothly. I also know that in the morning her hair will not be all frizzed out by static.

The products that we received to demo and review were:

  • Tear Free Conditioning Shampoo 12 oz
    – Restores shine and texture with Vitamins E and B.
  • Detangling Conditioner 12 oz
    – Infused with extracts of rosemary, aloe vera, cherry bark and chamomile.
  • Static Free Leave-in Detangling Spray, 12 oz
    – Rehydrates the scalp and enhances luster with aloe, rose hips, sage and Vitamin B.

The total retail value of this set of products is $27 and to me that is worth it to avoid the crying and pain that we used to have with cheap cutesy, kiddie products that smelled awful and didn’t do a very good job. Now we have a nice, natural solution that smells great and works wonders. You can learn more about these Fairy Tales Hair Care products at www.fairytaleshaircare.com.

Disclosure: We were provided with the products free of charge. I have been the primary tubby time caregiver with Eva since she was born in an effort to better bond as a Dad (we read that somewhere in a magazine or a book) and so I know Eva’s hair, I’ve washed it many, many times. Opinions of the products and of how well they worked on Eva are 100% my own.
