Happy hair is a good routine- How to make your morning hair routines easier!

Monday, 8:15 AM. School drop-off is imminent. Amid the morning rush, I pack lunchboxes, fill water bottles, and repeatedly remind my kids (using their full names) to put on their shoes. Once dressed, the dreaded task remains: hair.

At our DIY 'hair station,' a K-mart container organizes hair accessories by color and texture, attempting to quell daily anxiety. Despite admiring the organized chaos, reality hits as my daughter winces in pain. Dismissing her discomfort, she insists, "it hurts, Mum." Halting, I face the 'bird's nest' atop her head, contemplating how to salvage it for school. Not even a hat can hide the chaos.

"I didn't want my kid's first experience with personal care to be negative."

Fast forward a few years, and managing hair is no longer a struggle, thanks to MIMI. Amid the COVID lockdown, virtual collaboration birthed a natural, kid-centric hair care solution.

"The solution needed to involve more than just products."

"The solution needed to involve more than just products." Early in parenting, I learned routines ease stress and foster positive habits. Hence, the MIMI 3-step approach: empowering independence, instilling healthy habits, nurturing self-esteem, and making hair care positive and stress-free.

First you clean, then you treat, then you sleep.

First, clean, treat, then sleep. MIMI simplifies it as 1, 2, 3.

Step 1: Shhh, the secret ingredient is our ingredients.

Revolutionising kids' hair care, we've kicked traditional shampoo and conditioner to the curb. Let's face it, most shampoos are laden with synthetic ingredients.

Our hair wash is a game-changer – 100% tear-free, thanks to our commitment to natural ingredients.

Rest assured, our products have been tested on children, not animals (specifically, my own children – so it's perfectly okay)!

Step 2: Game- changing, life-altering detangling spray.

Making a bold claim, and one I confidently support, having personally tested every detangling spray on the Australian market.

Most of them boast cream-based formulas, offering a speedy solution for taming tangles. However, with an enthusiastic child wielding the spray, their hair often ends up looking worse than the original bird's nest.

Our detangling spray goes beyond mere taming – it provides a daily infusion of vitamins. Ideal for everyday use, our formulation is loaded with antioxidants, making hair styling a breeze while shielding kids' hair from environmental foes like swimming pool chemicals and UV rays.

Step 3: Sleep on silk

Why not! My kids (#borninbondi) request 'sparkling water' at restaurants and throw tantrums over what goes in their Acai bowls!

So why shouldn't they rest their little crowns on silk! Trust me! It actually makes hair care soooo much more manageable!

Cotton pillowcases draw moisture from hair, creating friction, causing 'bed hair' come morning.

Silk has been proven to reduce knots and frizz by up to 50%, as the fabric allows hair to glide more easily at night when kids toss and turn 10,000 times! Both kids and hair will wake up happy!
