How Child’s Farm helped my child’s flaky hair

March 19, 2019 by Heather Step 3 Comments

I’ve written about the Child’s Farm products before on this blog but today I want to focus on hair care. The range is lovely and sweet smelling but it’s also really useful for skin conditions and I want to share a bit more about that today.

I first noticed that Nicky had some kind of cradle cap last year at the hairdresser. She pointed it out to me. Nicky actually had patches of skin flaking that was blocking the hair growth. He was developing bald patches because of it.

I was trying a dandruff shampoo but it smelt awful! I hated it! And so did Nicky.

So when Child’s Farm came along we started using that. And slowly the condition improved.

We also gave it a bit of a boost going to the doctor for some meds but I never could remember to put the stuff in his hair. It smelt awful too. Nicky hated that one as well.

A couple of months on I can’t find the congealed area and there are just a few flakes left. That’s a huge improvement on what it was. We’ve only been using the shampoo (blue bottle) once a week on a Sunday night. We’ve recently started using our second bottle.

Nicky really likes the scent of strawberry and mint and is convinced it is actually bubblegum, his favourite flavour. It contains argan oil which leave the scalp moisturised and doesn’t irritate any skin conditions such as eczema.

Child’s Farm also has a conditioner, although we never used it. To be honest washing hair in our house is such an ordeal that to do it twice is something I’d rather not do. So here’s an interesting solution: the 3 in 1 swim.

The 3 in 1 swim can be used as a shampoo, conditioner and body wash all in one go after a swim. It washes away the chlorine leaving skin and hair super clean and shiny. This also has a similar strawberry mint aroma.

There are also a number of hair and body wash bottles with some amazing scents. Nicky really likes the blackberry and apple one and wanted me to leave soap suds all over him just so that he could smell it some more. We also like the sweet orange one as well.

You can see more products for hair care on their website here. Check them out on Facebook as well.

You can buy Child’s Farm at Clicks and on Takealot.

Lots of sparkle at the @thesheeoworkshop led by @y Lots of sparkle at the @thesheeoworkshop led by @your_motivationalcoach and @her_mindset_mentor /@millennial_mama_sa 

The company was good, the food was the delicious and the insights were flowing.

One thing I took away was this: you must feel enough in yourself before other people think you are. 

I also had fun starting a vision board and painting.

We also had a secret Santa swap and I was blown away by @nakita21 's amazing gift. She embellished a notebook, manicure set and cup with the themes of the workshop: dream, design and do.

No more excuses now for me with this powerhouse of inspiration behind me!

What a treat! I enjoyed my pedicure with @nailsssb What a treat! I enjoyed my pedicure with @nailsssbynella. Not only did she make me bold enough to go for gel, she also fixed a broken nail. It's a lovely space and very close to my house. 
Plus she gave me water and pretzels! And a little gift afterwards with a Loyalty card.

Self care is all it's cracked up to be.

Take some time to look after yourself. You need it.

I've just come from the dentist and it was awful b I've just come from the dentist and it was awful but now afterwards not so bad! Glad I took the rest of the day off though.

On the weekend we tried this recipe from Louisa Holst's new book. I've always wanted an easy way to make my own pizza with real bread dough and I think I found it. It came out like a pizza pie but still good. My son is very fussy, he moaned that he could have done a better job but he still ate it. 

What do you think? Would you try it? Full recipe and comments up on the blog.
