Celebrating Children’s Haircare With SoCozy

Disclosure: I received complimentary products to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own.

A couple of weeks ago on the blog I talked a little bit about my struggle with Toodie’s hair and the challenges I faced as mom who never acquired the gift of styling. Now that it’s all out in the open I might as well share a few more products that at least help me keep it looking presentable on a daily basis. After all, I am not the mom that sends her child to school with bed head or a rat’s nest which looks like it could be harboring a living creature of some sort. Today I will be introducing you to a children’s haircare line known as SoCozy. It’s So Smart, So Safe, So Easy, and So Cool. It also provides the tools to help embrace your child’s hair- curly, wavy, short, frizzy, straight, CRAZY, confused and so on.

4 Ways To Split Up With Split Ends #TRESemmeTransformation

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post on behalf of Global Influence.

For over a year now I have been doing everything in my power to grow my hair out. I love the look of long, beautiful, flowy locks but it’s been a tough road. The process alone drives me completely crazy. I stopped getting my hair colored as often, reduced the frequency of trims, and taken vitamins to speed up the results. You would think my hair would be healthier with these changes but my ends are still dry, brittle, and screaming for help.

Split ends are one of the most common hair care issues that many woman have. No matter how healthy your hair is or how many miracle products you invest in, everyone has suffered from this dreadful enemy. I have spent the past year doing everything I can to improve the appearance and overall quality of my hair. This includes reducing the heat on my blow dryer,  taking vitamins, using protective sprays, passing up the daily use of my favorite straightener, and even sticking to a dark hair style so I could grow out the bleach from previous highlighting. The condition of my hair has improved drastically but there are times that those annoying split ends need a little TLC and Suave Professionals Split End Rescue duo does just that.

Hip Peas Natural Curl Tamer Review & GIVEAWAY

Would you like to make your back to school morning routine easier? Brushing our children’s hair can take longer than we expect and at times it can turn into a huge ordeal. Make styling easier by using Hip Peas products! They offer a full line consisting of a variety of products to help manage your little one’s locks. All of the Hip Peas products are eco-friendly, natural and 100% safe to use on your child. They are also sulfate, paraben, and cruelty free. Hip Peas lends a helping hand by donating 10% of their product sales to child-focused charities.
 While browsing around the Hip Peas website I was immediately drawn to their playful packaging and design. How could anyone not love this company on sight alone? It’s trendy and adorable! Hip Peas sent me their Curl Tamer to try on Toodie’s hair and I was eager to see the results. I can’t even list the numerous products I have tried in the past year in attempts to finding at least ONE that would help me manage her wild hair. 


The Curl Tamer keeps the curls bouncy while moisturizing, enhancing, and defining the natural wave without weighing them down. It can also be used to detangle the hair while combing to minimize any breakage. The curls will be soft and most importantly frizz free! Another thing I really like about this product is that it can be used on wet and dry hair. Most curl products I have found only work on one or the other, but never both. I love finding products that can be used multiple ways. This just makes it easier on me, especially when Toodie wakes up in the morning with an unruly Lion’s mane.  Regardless if I take a good fifteen minutes to comb it out after her nightly bath, it still manages to become a tangled mess when she gets out of bed. Ripping and tugging does not go over well with a cranky toddler just waking up! 
After Toodie’s bath I towel dried her hair and combed through it gently. I used a quarter sized amount of the Hip Peas Curl Tamer, distributing it evenly from top to bottom. You do not need a lot of the product to get results. A little really does go a long way. The Curl Tamer made it so much easier to comb through the hair without pulling out the natural curl. After 20 minutes of air drying, Toodie’s curls were soft, bouncy, and smooth. No frizz or fly away hairs in site! It also didn’t make her hair oily or slick which I have found to happen with other brands. Oh! How could I forget- MOST IMPORTANTLY- Toodie didn’t shed a tear or let out an “OUCH Mommy!” This is the product I have been waiting for. Hip Peas is a “hair-saver!”
If you visit the Hip Peas website you will find more information on all of the affordable products they sell. These include the Natural Kids Hair Balm, Hair Detangler, Curl Tamer, & Cradle Cap Care. They also offer the Knot Genie detangling brush along with a soft bristled baby brush. Both can be used with any of the Hip Peas products for a gentle comb through. Brushing through our children’s hair shouldn’t be a painful ordeal. Hip Peas has everything you need to make what should be the simple task of brushing, a pain-free enjoyable experience! You can say goodbye to bed head and tears.
