Just that really! My DS has beautiful mixed raced hair (Nigerian and Scottish!) but it's bloody high maintenance and op doesn't want me to cut it (I don't really want to either) but he doesn't help with the upkeep - a quick brush to keep the dreadlocks at bay, and conditioning it once a week!
Today was particularly traumatic as I put some (unmelted) coconut oil in it, foolishly thinking it would melt in his hair after a while. It didn't! It looked like I poured candle wax on his head. Then when I washed it the water temperature just wasn't hot enough to melt all of it so he now has dried oil in his hair! I don't know what I was thinking tbh! So he's now sporting this really bad 80s dry geri curl . I probably should have preserved with the washing but I had had enough at that point and so had he! I worry what the neighbours think we're doing to him when we wash his hair!
Anyway, it'll probably get brushed out in a few days so it's easily rectified but I was wondering if anyone had any dc hair horror stories to share!
