She has very curly hair, and it's very dry and frizzy, it take me forever to do a hair style.
Need help with my daughter's hair!? I am guessing that your daughter is biracial, you must remember that you cannot use the same techniques on her head that you use on your. It may seem overwhelming but with time it can get easy, and please don't put a relaxer in her hair atleast until she is 13, in fact i do not recommend a relaxer at all. Here are the basics that are detrimental in doing your daughter hair, i really hope that you are reading this.
1. The shampoo, unfortunately many black women are using shampoos with alcohol , petroleum jelly, and sulfates. step away from them. Don't even think about using pantene's shampoo for relaxed and natural hair.Use Aveda's shampoo.. specifically the name is Sap Moss..go to the website. I use it, i love it, it mouisterizes my hair and the products are natural. Don't shampoo more that once a week.
2. Okay, step two condition it and then it is time to comb it out, Do not use a brush on her hair when it is wet ( it is better not to use the brush at all even when dry) it will hate her for it then break off in revenge. Put her hair into sections use a big tooth comb, to untangle it
3. Do a hot oil treatment atleast once a month with extra virgin olive oil...repeat..EXTRA VIRGIN olive oil..not the regular stuff. unfortunately i have yet to take this step however my hair is doing great. Protein treatment are also good for her( do some research to find out about the technique) and deep conditioning.
4. Okay on the daily basis you need to pay close attention to her hair...i recommend conditioning her scalp(2-4 times a week) and her ends(everyday) so that they will not get dry and unhealthy Petroleum jellly and mineral oil are weapons of mass destruction ( in other words do not use grease) it does so much harm to her hair it cannot be all explained here. So you ask what do I use...well natural essential oils such as grapeseed oil ( use it for hair it deflects heat so it is good for flat iron users like us) jojoba oil(i use this for my scalp), extra virgin olive oil, sesame oil, emu oil, coconut oil...all these natural oils and more love you..i promise. Also consider putting two drops of essential oil such as rosemary, basil, peppermint, and myrrh in 3 tablespoons of carrier oil ( the ones i mentioned before)
5. Next,,if you want her hair straight but still be natural it is time to get a freakin good flat iron.,i have the Chi..it does the job but I recommend getting the Sedu because of the good reviews. make sure to protect her hair..i have so thermal protector from Aveda. When flat ironing her hair do not let the iron stay on her hair for too long, just 1-2 quick swipes.
I strongly advise against flat iron use for those with relaxers.
6. When she gets older and may want a relaxer ( i have heard and definitely see that Affirm is the best relaxer go to avlon.com) don't continue to relaxe all her hair everytime she goes to the salon..just the new growth and try to stretch relaxers 10-14 weeks as long as possible. It is best for relaxers hair to do roller sets under a hooded dryer,with the lowest temperature possible.
7. She does not need to trim your hair everytime you go to the salon maybe every 3 to 6 months.It is a myth that trimming hair makes it grow faster.
8. Wrap her hair in a satin or silk scarf to prevent damage before you go to bed.
9. She should eat healthy, drink lots of water,
10 She should take multivitamins, and fish oil pills you can get from GNC.
Follow these steps and life will be good..the best part about flat iron (which i do once a week or every two weeks not everday since it will kill your hair) is that it is not stringy but thick and healthy, yet straight and light enough to blow in the wind.
Need help with my daughter's hair!? Try french braiding because you don't really need to brush it, just pull it in little groups. Condition her hair a lot! But pony tails are always classic and very useful! Headbands are still in too. Add some cute clips or something.
Need help with my daughter's hair!? my hair is always dry to when i get out of the shower but i use garnier fruite leave in conditioner and it helps alot!
Need help with my daughter's hair!? try 2 low ponytails.
or when it's wet, braid it.
Need help with my daughter's hair!? cut the hair shorter so its easier to manage
Need help with my daughter's hair!? try straightening it.
Need help with my daughter's hair!? wash it with good shampoo, then condition it for 5 minutes.
you need to buy some type of non greasy creme to smooth it.
you should cut off a couple inches if you can, or take her to the salon, which could cost alot of money.
then you could just put it in a pony tail.
Need help with my daughter's hair!? gresse or baby oil even if your not black it makes the hair very soft and easy to work with also prettier
Need help with my daughter's hair!? i'm not sure how old she is but there is a johnson and johnson prod that is great for curly frizzy hair.
Buddies No More Tangles No More Bedhead Easy Combing Spray
Need help with my daughter's hair!? i suggest that u use beatufil beginings for kids. i use it for my daughter when she had hair like that and it worked.
Need help with my daughter's hair!? for this use some conditioner and some gel to moisten her hair up. herbal essence has a lot of shampoos for this one is called hello hydration which hydrates the hair. also try putting her hair in pony tails. high ones low ones or side ones that go below the ear and if it the side ponytail you can braid it to get a classic romantic look.

Need help with my daughter's hair!? try cornrows. Braids usually last long but taking it out to do it again might be a problem
Need help with my daughter's hair!? use moisturizing shampoos and conditioners.
try not using curling irons or straighteners.
unless with the proper products to prevent frying her hair.
they also make things like frizz ease
which work incredibly well.
you could also get her hair thinned out at a salon.
this will also ease the frizziness. a friend of mine did it.
Need help with my daughter's hair!? sleek n shine shampoo by garnei fructis no more tangles baby shampoo baby lotion in her hair
Need help with my daughter's hair!? hot oil!!!!!! they have it any where there is hair things. you can get hot oil at wal mart, rite aid, Sally's, and etc.it works so good but use the whole tube.
Need help with my daughter's hair!? For dry and frizzy hair I use Hair Food or A Hair Moisturizer. Apply when hair is damp right after combing,and then re comb... just add a little bit as adding to much will leave it greasy...
Need help with my daughter's hair!? I really recommend Ouidads products for helping dry and frizzy hair and it makes curly hair easier to style.

Need help with my daughter's hair!? I am part Hispanic and my hair is very frizzy and dry and I know what it's like. I went through dozens of products until I found a regimen that works.
Here's what I do:
Get Sunsilk "No more Frizz" (I think that's what it's called, Ir comes in green bottles.) The shampoo, the conditioner, and the leave in balm.
Have her shower everyday. I find it better to have wet hair when attempting to do something with all that kink and frizz. BUT shampoo hair only every other day or every two days. Anymore dries hair out and makes it become frizzier. CONDITION her hair everyday though, this keeps the tangles soft and manageable and hair hydrated.
When she gets out of the shower, use a hair pick or wet come to gently pick out the tangles. Put a small amount of the leave in balm on your hands, rub together, and rub on her hair. If she has curly hair, invest in a good mouse and scrunch afterwards.
However, I would consider your daughters age before doing this. (I'm in my mid teens) For a younger girl, I would go without the scrunching and perhaps do a pony tail, pigtails, or braids (WHILE WET!)
Need help with my daughter's hair!? OK this is how you and your child should do showers.
1. wash hair with normal shampoo
2. put conditioner leave it on so it can moist in your hair
3. While the conditioner moist your hair wash you body
4. when you are done washing your body clean out the conditioner.
DO this for a while and wash your hair twice a week to not prevent dry scalp. Later when you get this right it would not be dry and frizzy!
Need help with my daughter's hair!? its so nice that you style your daughters hair
lets see uhh there is a product by hask, called pure shine frizz remedy it works very well
Need help with my daughter's hair!? they say not to use a lot of product on childrens hair, but i dont see a problem with using product, especially if the little one has curly/frizzy hair. a lot of time the product give a cleaner and not so frizzy look. just make sure you get the kind of product that does NOT go flaky and white on your head. that can call for a yucki look.
try washing her hair, and gently towel dry. then while it's still damp add the product..... lots of mouse works fine. 2 palm fulls will do. with a hair pick, brush the mouse into the wet hair evenly all over, work it in. now use the pick to brush her hair. the mouse will set and give her a really neat and clean slighlty crunchy spaghetti hair. it's beatufill and easy to do.
eventually you can teach her to do it herself. so basically after every shower and shampoo, just put in lots of mouse, give it a brush with the pick, and you're good to go.
tip: if you put your head up-side down after you've put the mouse into the wet hair, use your pick and even a blow dryer for a faster more volumes hair. real pretty. straight haired people would always envy my look ;)
Need help with my daughter's hair!? my daughters hair was very long and thick, very unmanageable and tangled very easy.
i used a squirt bottle filled with a mixture of conditioner and warm water, spray the hair as you are combing/brushing it into a style (she loved french braids, but they are difficult to get a smooth look,unless she sits very still and you can manage to get it in tight)
pony tails and ponytail braids are the easist styles for hard to manage little girl hair, losts of barrettes and clips will help with the fly away strands
also, the warm water/conditioner mix that i explained above also will help to add moisture and some managability to the hair as it is used daily and is left in the hair (doesnt get rinsed out) until the next hair washing
this method, however doesn't seem to work on ethnic hair, but most other hair types it does just fine.
