The holidays is a great time to deep condition (which should be done regularly, not just during the holidays)

I love Nadine from Girls Love Your Curls, shes' too funny! :)

This video is great, it gives you hair care tips and at the same time it shows you a great variations of styles you can try.

Here's a great video is you want to try adding beads to the ends of your kids braids. I love this look on little kids, it's adorable. I might actually try it on my daughter one days soon. Different kinds of beads can be bought in your arts and crafts store. To make it more fun let your child pick the braids she wants.

Fun things to do with your child:

Barbie Make Overs! This is fun to do with your child. There are very few natural hair dolls out there. And in Sweden, just finding a dark skinned doll sometimes seems like the impossible task. This teaches your child that there's not only one "correct" way to look, but also that hair care is fun!

Check out all the different styles and looks at Natural Girls United!

And I also want to promote a page that I found recently, now, keep in mind that most of the dolls on this site aren't naturals (hmmpf!) but this is a great source for dark skinned dolls. http://www.blackbeautydolls.com/ And yes, I have contacted them, they do ship to Sweden! Yay! :)

Hope you got some new ideas. And fee free to share other with us!
