My 5 yr old daughter has super thick spiral hair. Need help with shampoo/conditioner etc.?

My daughter has very thick spiral curly hair. It is very dry and hard to style. It keeps getting bushier and wont grow down it only seems to grow out on the sides to resemble an afro. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on shampoo/ conditioners or styling products I could use to help her. She is so tired of wearing it up in a pony tail and really wants to wear it down..My 5 yr old daughter has super thick spiral hair. Need help with shampoo/conditioner etc.?
i would post your same question on this forum





http://www.naturallycurly.com/curltalk/





there's a section for parents with kids. That forum is much better for quality answer than YA!.





I'd suggest you look at doing what they call a low-poo or a no-poo method. Basically the frizz is caused by the detergents in shampoo. If you just use conditioner, and clean the scalp the frizz will calm down. Limit the amount of shampoo that goes into your daughters hair will have drastic effects on her hair.





Also check out lorraine massey book Curly Girl


http://www.amazon.com/Curly-Girl-Lorrain鈥?/a>


they have great section for kids in that book.





Edit.


i'm going to say, the rude comments are just out of control. Straighten is probably not feasible for a 5 year old.. beside it destroy hair.


the racist comments are just stupid


thin the hair is a good idea, i would suggest talking to your hair stylist about that, but it doesn't address the frizz problem.My 5 yr old daughter has super thick spiral hair. Need help with shampoo/conditioner etc.?
wow these people are rude! cant you just answer a simple question with out judging people!!!! idk if it will work for you but i have really thick dry , wavy hair and i use vo5 hot oil thats really cheap you can get it at walmart for like 3 bucks and i also use the biosilk silk thearpy that makes my hair nice and soft i would also tell your daughters hair dresser to thin her hair they have special razors/scissors that can thin it out and if that doesnt work then you could try chemically straightening it
I also have very thick, naturally curly hair. I use Mark Anthony Just Curls products and NEVER blow dry. Any heat appliances will dry out and make curly hair frizzy. Also - never brush, just gently comb. I also use styling products in the ';ethnic'; section that are olive oil based. It's important to use rich moisture and lots of it. Deep conditioning once a week is a must for me. Not exactly sure how to get a 5 year old to put up with all this, tho!
i have the same hair and i use the aveeno moisture shampoo and conditioner and i also use a keratin treatment from http://www.liquidkeratin.com/ and it works really well....dont relax it with anything else because it will make her hair more dry and that will cause frizz and damage...and if shes young chemicals wont be good for her...and also keratin makes the new hair that grows out more smooth and straighter
Panten Pro-v Shampoo and conditioner





And Motions Leave in Conditioner





and go to a salon to cut herhair so that she will be able to wear it down and to cut some of the bulk out of it [NOT to thin it To Remove BULK] Be Very Specific if They Dont knmow How To do It Rigt I COuld Be A Disaster
take her to get a trim,and blow dry it with a round brush but put some kinda spray serum in it to make it shine and not frizzy.just go to sallys and ask about those products or any beauty store.i would recommend using a flat iron bcuz she is just a little girl with natural hair.
If its dry you should deep condition once a week.


Maybe every Sunday?


And Put Chi Silk infusion in before blow/air dry each morning.
Try straightening it. It'll probably last until she comes home from school.
go to the salon ask then to make her hair less thick [they use speacil sissors to cut it]
