How I deal with my short postpartum edges when styling my natural hair 😆😍

I noticed around 4 months pp my edges were thinning (which was about the same after my firstborn). Around 6 months pp they started growing back and I could see the tiny little follicles coming through 😊 I haven’t done much except to avoid high tension styles. Even though I braid the front of my hair, it’s not too tight and the direction of the braids aren’t pulling much on my edges.

Now, at 7 months pp, my edges are thick and full, just short 😆 Some edge control, an edge brush, and a rat tail comb will always help me blend the edges 😊

A lazy natural hairstyle on a 6 day old wash & go🌀😍

I first sprayed water on my hair, then used Marc Anthony strictly curls leave in, then used the doux crazy sexy curl foam mousse for some extra definition all over. 💗💗 I wash my hair weekly, but if I get busy or lazy, this will hold me over until wash day. ☺️

Bath routine for my 1 month old newborn 😍🥹🫶🏾👶🏾 His skin is sooooo dry lately so bathing him and moisturizing him is a frequent thing. Actually I have to moisturize him multiple times a day or his skin will get super chapped! 😫

Slowly learning how to navigate our days with a newborn & a toddler. I must say, the transition from 1 to 2 has been much easier than 0 to 1 lol. It kinda just added another kiddo to what already existed. But, time management is the biggest task. We’ll get there soon 😊🫶🏾🤩

OMG, the moment I saw my first born for the first time after giving birth to our new baby, I feltl so emotional and wondered how I’d still be able to connect with my big baby. He seems so mature. 🥹 Now I’m just learning how to share all the love I have for both of them. 🩵🫶🏾

I didn’t notice the smears on the mirror initially 😭 anyway, here’s a baby bump routine I’ve been doing since I found out I was pregnant with baby # 2. 💗

Remember ladies, stretch marks are not 100% preventable. Take care of your skin, but regardless of if you get stretch marks or not, love your body. It’s growing life 🥹🫶🏾 & that man should love them too 😉
