Black girl hair question :)?

Hey everybody, I have a question on how to do my daughter's hair. She's almost 3, and already has some breakage around the front and back of her hair. I usually put her hair into a ponytail and leave it like that all day [I know, thats bad!!! But she has black/puerto rican hair and its reaaaaaaaaally curly...too curly to put into twists]. I don't know what products to use in her hair! I love little black girls with long, smooth hair. And I want my daughter to have the same. I usually use gel, or smoothing salon products in my hair, so I'm not familiar with using grease or anything like that. Can someone tell me what products I should use, and what hairstyles to do on her to lessen the breakage and help her hair grow longer? She has hair down past her shoulders, but the curls are so tight, you'd never know. Thanks!!!

I'm mixed and I have curly hair as well. My mom used luster's pink oil on my hair and it worked great, and it is very good for the hair. It moisturizes it and keeps it healthy. A pony tail causes breakage. If her hair is that curly she definitely needs some kind of product like luster's pink oil in her hair for it to maintain good health. What I think you should do is go to the store and buy that, and some small colorful rubber bands. Wash your daughters hair, and sit her down. Depending how much hair she has, use like a quarter size of the luster's and put it all over her hair and brush it in. This is a really good hairstyle for toddlers. Part it down the middle. And then on each side part it again so it's like a cross. Make four braids in her hair and that should hold for a couple days.Use a bristle brush to make sure you get it smooth. I don't know what kind of hair you have, but black hair needs to be washed no more than a couple times a week. If you have questions let me know! I'm great with little thick curly haired girls,lol.

Stop trying to ruin your daughters hair, just because you like it to be long and smooth. Leave her hair alone she is only three.

Use the best shampoo and lots of conditioner in her hair that

should be great.

I understand how you like other little girls hair and wanting you can do the same things for your daughter but she is only 3 yrs old. Putting poduct on her hair could block her pores that could lose her hair which is worse. Just give her a trim and condition her regularly that will make it heathier and please don't put elastic on her this cause breakage. It is okay to put hair in ponytail but not for all day, she could have headache and you might not even know it.

Besides using Luster's Pink Oil Moisturizing Lotion try Doo Grow. At night take her hair down and put in one braid. Stop using gel on her hair. Gels causes the hair to dry out and break off. Gels contains alcohol.
