Daughter's hair

My son is also biracial (he's 2), I'm african american. Sometimes, if I comb his hair while it is wet, it will straighten. If this does not work for you, try a good haircut (for curly hair). Conditioners, Alberto V05, and braiding the hair while it is wet help. Try not to wash her hair daily (that will dry it and make it pouf more). I use Avlon's Oil moisturizer with jojoba oil and Kiehl's Creme with Silk Groom (expensive but worth it). My hairdresser, who is italian and relaxes his hair, swears by blue magic oil. I would never use this in my hair. It is much too thick and weighs my hair down but, he has great results from it.You can get samples of the Kiehl's from Nieman Marcus. Or, if you need more suggestions, feel free to e-mail me.Hope this helps,Melanie

My daughter is mixed (multicultural) - I am white and her dad is african-american. She has got a LOAD of hair. It is incredibly thick. THe top layer is the softer straighter part and then as it goes back and under it gets thicker and curlier. HELP!! I have tried relaxing it and any and all black hair care oils, moisturizers etc.. She is nine and does not like to blow dry her hair everyday but she LOVES to wear it down. When she wears it down it becomes the look of Scary Spice - frizzy, poofy and unmanageable. ANY suggestions?Thanks for you help.Christie AlbanoSeattle, WA
