5 yr old daughter cries when combing her hair Printed From: HairBoutique.com Category: Long Hair Happenings Forum Name: Long Hair Care Experts Forum Description: Directory Of Long Hair Friendly Experts URL: https://talk.hairboutique.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=67571 Printed Date: January 10 2026 at 4:35am Topic: 5 yr old daughter cries when combing her hair Posted By: parshub Subject: 5 yr old daughter cries when combing her hair Date Posted: November 21 2010 at 9:44pm Hi, I am a newbie here. Thanks for having me. My 5 yr old daughter has waist length curly hair. Naturally, such long hair get tangled and she cries when I try to comb them. Also, I heard that long hair are not healthy for kids that young because the weight of the hair (when we tie them in a knot, bun etc.) causes the weakening of their roots. I tried the detangler, but seemed like it takes the curls away. I absolutely want her long hair and want to keep the curls as well. Is there a way to keep those long hair while keeping the curls intact or do I have to cut them ? My daughter also likes her hair except when they are combed :-). We are of south asian decent, in case that information is important.
