Chances are, you’ve already seen the mesmerizing video of Savannah James, wife of LeBron, flat ironing, trimming and showcasing the length of daughter Zuri’s gorgeous hair. The end result is some incredibly healthy hair, falling down the back of the 7-year-old. As Savannah shares, while she is not a professional, her regimen for Zuri “has gotten us to these lengths through the last 7 years.”

Her magical hands made us think of other celebrity moms over the years who have shown us their process for caring for their children’s hair. Like singer Ciara, who has been braiding hair since she was a teenager. She creates some fun styles for both her 4-year-old daughter Sienna and her 7-year-old son Future. She says doing hair is still one of her passions.
