actually, that's a nice, do-able list!
i think i can help with one....#25.
as our children are mixed, they have the best of both worlds for hair - it's ah-mazing!
even though the curls seem soft and lovely though, they do not require a wash that often.
instead, put some conditioner in her hair in the tub, comb through, and rinse.
do not towel dry hair...instead, pull your fingers through her hair to define the curls. pull through to the ends in chunks and you'll see her hair bounce into ringlets or semi-ringlets! air dry.
hope this helps!
