My daughter is multi-ethnic and the genetic lottery gave her the same hair as her father. We tried the perm thing but her hair was so damaged and her scalp burned so we regretted it. Her hair is so thick and her curls very tight, it is a chore to just comb through and she has a very tender head. What would you suggest would be an easy hairstyle for a 10 year old girl that has minimal upkeep, she hates braids as well. She hates grease and pink oil lotion doesn't last at all, hair soaks it up.

Hi, have you tried any of the wet and go products such; Donna Marie's Miracle Curl Gel, Mixed Roots, Miss Jessies's Curly products, Fantasia Styler, ECO Styler? Using these products helps to define curls. If her hair doesn't already have a curly pattern you can do braid-outs, twist-out, bantu knots etc. if her hair is more thick and bushy, afro puffs are always nice for a little girl. Just be sure to keep her hair moisturized. Also check out my Etsy store!

Exactly, I recently had to tell a white guy his women need to go natural too when he made a derogatory comment about black women damaging their hair. As I told him, take a look at how your own girls are balding from over bleaching, dyeing & perming. Look around at all the dark rooted blondes with dried out frizzy strands. When you see healthy blond flowing hair its usually extensions or a weave to blend in with the damaged locks. I go to a white hair salon so I see it all. We are not alone.

@SivanAngel57 cont. from previous reply: you saturate your baby's hair with this mix, and you can let her wear it down, without frixx or put it in a ponytail, smoothed out with no flyaways. check out tightlycurly website for her method on doing her hair. She's mixed as well, and had a hard time with her hair growing up. Check out her hair history as well. - I notice you posted 11 months ago, and have posted since, but I jus wanted to share. I'm pretty much sold on honey and conditioner.

[SivanAngel57]

@Zurie53225 don't subscribe to the expensive stuff that ppl are suggesting. I am of African American & Indonesian descent. I recently found what works!!! no tricks! Here it is: Honey mixed in conditioner!!! You pick the brands ;o) the honey holds in moisture, actually kind of acts like a gel, without all the flakes and drying of the hair. I put my hair in 2-strand twists on Friday, and they're still goin' strong today- normally they begin to unravel by now, bc of my hair texture.

[Zurie53225]

Also wanted to add a comment showing some irony towards the woman who accused me of not wanting my daughter to embrace her ethnicities, the person who put the perm in her hair was her dad's girlfriend who is African American, and she did a bad job of it because she didn't take my daughter to the shop to get it done. I didn't ask her to do it, she had told me it was the only way to manage her hair better. After she messed it up, I decided natural was the way to go, never again will we perm!

@TheMakeupvirgin We just bought some of the Miss Jessie's Curly Pudding, and are going to try it tonight. I had seen great reviews for it but hadn't been able to afford it because I wasn't working until recently because I was in school. I am going to try it tonight after washing her hair with the shampoo and conditioner we got that has shea and cocoa butter in it. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks a lot for the suggestions. In fact if it works well I can send a picture or upload a video

[Zurie53225]

@angelhart21 Thanks I'll have to try that out, I just bought a jar of Jessie's Curly Pudding and we are going to try that when I wash her hair tonight. We got a shampoo and conditioner set that is shea butter and cocoa butter based and we also cut her hair that had any of the relaxer in it off, it had grown out quite a bit so the ends were just dry and split. It's getting much healthier and all the tips and tricks you guys have given are so much appreciated thanks a million!

I have been wearing my hair natural for the past 4 years now, I love it.

[agray77]

[angelhart21]

@Zurie53225 Try this product called GROWORKS It's a moisturizing creme for thick tight curly hair.. it's my best friend.. I hope this helps. It comes in a green round bottle. you want the creme not the styling gel or whatever you prefer.. ;-)

I have decided to transition strictly for better hair health and thicker hair. However, I get bored with the same hairstyle VERY easily and the only transition style I like are curly afros/rod sets. I don't like braids, twists, wigs or weaves. Any additional style ideas? My hair is very fine and have to wet and roll it w/ satin covered foam rollers every 2 days letting it air dry to keep up my fro. I currently use Loreal's sulfate free moisturizing cleansing system and Curls moisterizer.

@superchick76 I too agree, I have locs and I wished I started this in my younger days. I wouldn't trade it for the world! Great Video such an inspiration!

[naturesuphoria]

Great video!

[naturesuphoria]

Great Videos! Anybody that loves hair and beauty like me should be friends!

@Zurie53225 when combing her hair try to damp it with water and use a wide tooth comb. It makes it easier to comb and less painful. My hair is the same way :)

@valmuno I personally feel that you were out of line for saying that to Zurie53225. She didn't once say that she was ashamed of or doesn't like her daughters hair. She wanted to get information and tips on how to take care of it as natural and what to do as far as styling. She never said anything was wrong with it besides it being a chore trying to untangle and find a decent style to wear so her young daughter won't leave the house looking (nicki minaj voice) raagggeeedddyy.
