taming thin, curly hair?!

Question

My baby girl has the most beautiful curls! However, they matte within minutes if she rolls or plays..brushing it is a cry fest because it gets so many knots 😩 no matter how hard I try I just cannot tame this beast! It gets so dry and frizzy and poofy and it only looks tame right after a bath! Anything I can do??

Answer

Are you on fb? If so join the Curly Girl! (Conditioning-Washing Group for Woman). You will learn so much about curly hair and how to properly care for it.

It's best to start now so when she gets odler, she'll already know to how properly care for her curls and won't go through the many years most curly girls do, struggling to get those soft beautiful curls we all dream of.

I'll post a sc of the group and my before and after so you can see that it really does work. I use this method both on my 5 year old and my 17month old.

When my sons hair gets matted (which is does daily, especially after sleeping all night) I take a wide tooth comb, run it under warm water and comb his hair all out until it's completely wet. Once It's all wet I add a small pump of Moogoo's Cream Conditioner and work it throughout his hair evenly, lightly pat it dry with a flour sack towel and let it dry. The results are always beautiful springy curls.

Answer

Spray them w water throughout the day and get one of those  "wet" brushes

Answer

Use a curling cream.

Answer

Haha look at the one sticking up! So damn cute😍

Answer

Deva curl hair products! Leave one condition in her hair and they also have a detangler

Answer

My daughter's hair is the same way! A little bit of coconut oil or hair styling product like a curling serum are amazing! They make the curls shine and stay out without being hard and crusty.

Answer

Very very small amount of leave in conditioner brushed through. Like biosilk.

Answer

My son has curly hair. My 13 week old too but her's is oily. Anyway, what I do with my son is coconut oil every week fora few hours then we wash it. We use a product called curly kids. We use their shampoo and the lotion as his hair is not too thick but they have different types.

Answer

Cuuuuute😍😍😍 Have you tried a "Wet" brush? Are you comfortable putting like a tiny bit of curl tamer in her hair? I'm sure they make child-friendly ones!! I never had hair as curly as her, but it's been wavy forever. We even would use a detangling spray and it'd keep mine from matting up!

Answer

Coconut oil for sure!!! Use sulphate free shampoo/conditioner - that'll keep her hair from drying out. Also get it regularly trimmed so it doesn't get tangled. Only brush when wet using a wide toothed comb :) lots of really great suggestions on this forum!
