I really wanted to share this post because I am so tired of seeing little girls with damaged hair from relaxers. I just want to lend some support to parents of little girls with kinky/coily hair and show them how easy it is to care for their natural hair.
1. Washing the hair- If your child has very thick or kinky/coily hair, you should first wet the hair by spraying a homemade solution of water and natural glycerine or water and castor oil and then by using a wide tooth comb to detangle. Starting from the ends and work your way to the scalp when detangling. Then section the hair off into 6-10 sections with hair clips or small rubber bands. Then you can start to shampoo each section individually(please use only sulphate free shampoos) sectioning off each section again after you shampoo and rinse. Then rinse the entire head of hair again in cool water. Then you can begin the conditioning process using the same steps in the shampooing process. Once the hair is rinsed well with cool water you can apply a leave in conditioner and using a wide toothed comb, distribute the leave-in conditioner evenly. Then your last step is to either braid, twist or plait the hair in a style while damp or plait the hair in 10-15 plaits and let air dry if your next step is to put ponytails in. Natural hair is damaged with regular heat use from blow dryers-please air dry whenever possible!
I hope this info was helpful! I have included a URL to a video on youtube that gives a great tutorial on styling a little girls hair.
