Something I have also learned is that you shouldn't wash her hair everyday b/c the more you wash it the drier it gets and all the natural oils are being washed out, leaving it dry. It would probably be best just to wash it a maximum of 3 times a week. When I was little my mom would put baby oil or baby lotion not too much just the amount that you think should be enough for her hair. Well, if you didn't already know this, I hope I helped.

That is good advice. I don't have to wash hers everyday because i dont use hairspray and other gunky products(unless she gets food in her hair or something.HaHa)

I agree with curliegirl. I wouldn't put too many products in a 2 year olds hair, just pure oils. I would just keep her hair braided or corn-rowed as much as possible since she is so young. I am african-american and that's how most of our little ones wear their hair.
I know this is an old thread, but I was using the search mode here and found it. I just started using the KRLY Kids line from Ouidad (http://www.ouidad.com/shop_dept.asp?dept_level=6) and wish I'd found it month ago. I tried lots of things including oil which didn't look good. It works wonderfully. I only shampoo her hair once a week or so, but I get it wet with water every day (sometimes after her nap too!) and run the conditioner through it. Their botanical boost is a must--evenin the diaper bag. She has beautiful hair. Very fine ringlets that get frizzy very easily, but with these products her ringlets usually keep great definition all day. Very soft though - not sticky or greasy or gel like. I love her hair and tell her that every day - these curls stick out all over her head just like I hoped they would. I cannot wait for them to get longer. Which is another story. When her hair is wet it is well past her shoulders and when it's dry these ringlets look like they are about 2 inches long.
I also have a daughter who is half balck/white. Her hair when she was little, was soooo curly that it was curled up to her head in a tight curl. Now she is almost 11, and her hair is still hard to do. The top is wavy and the bottom is still really curly. She loves her hair, and I do too! When she was little her hair was up some way, pony tail, pig tails, barids, cornrolls... you name it and thats how it was except for down. Now that she is older she does not want it up. She loves her curls, just cant handle the brushing out. Her hair is so thick that no brush or comb or anything in between goes straight through! We have to brush in layers. Your daughter is too little to make the choice, put it up! This weekend I'm talking our daughter to get her hair thined. If it works hopefully we can let her ware it down.

Be careful with thinning because sometimes it can make the hair more uncontrollable because as it grows back in it is even more "puffy" because of the different lengths. I'm glad she loves her curls. I don't know if you buy online or not but Qhemet Biologics has a great line of products for natural hair. They have a detangler that is supposed to be awsome. Everyone loves it. I'm hoping to try it soon. It may help with your daughter's comb out.
