Need help with my mixed DD's hair

[anonymous]

I have been using deva curl no poo shampoo and conditioner one my DD's hair. I generally shampoo once/wk and condition every night to every other night in the minths with less humidity. Her hair is thick, very soft, and has Shirley temple like ringlets. When it's humid her hair looks amazing with little effort-eapeically if it dies while outside in humid weather her curls are perfect. At the beach you do see anyone with better hair.

We are now entering the times of less humidity and her hair can be more unpredictable and pretty frizzy. Can you recommend any products I can try? She is 4 so she bathes or showers at night and her hair air dries. I'm willing to blow dry if that would help. I tell her to not touch her hair but she pretty much rubs it all night long. Bathing/showering in the morning is not really an option for us. I have fine, straight hair so I'm at a loss.

For the record, fizziness during the drier minths is not new but this morning she looked In the mirror and for the first time ever commented on it so I'd like to help her if I can

I'd put Shea Moisture curling smoothie in her hair after you've washed it. Then part her hair in two or four sections and twist each one. I also like Cantu's leave in conditioner instead of the Shea Moisture. Both are readily available at Target or Walmart.

I do think you're probably wetting her head too often. You can take the twists down in the morning and then twist them back at night, adding more curling smoothie if it's try or doesn't want to twist. You can search youtube and pinterest for different ways to twist it to get a look you like better.

The no poo didn't work for me. My hair wouldn't return to it's curl pattern when I did it. So I use the Tresemme Luxurious Moisture shampoo and conditioner

Thank you! I will definitely look at YouTube-I had no idea about twisting.

Wetting too often may be it-in the summer I was wetting it less often b/c it curled naturally.

My kid has had good results with the mixed chicks leave in.

Do you do anything special to it at night? I wonder if her frizziness is b/c it's too dry?

Her hair totally gets frizzy when it's dry. I spray it with watered down conditioner at night. I also recommend a satin pillow case.

I have a similar sort of curl. And yes, it gets frizzy in the morning if I wash at night. So what I do in the morning is spritz it with a water & conditioner mix and then add a bit of coconut oil or argan oil at the end (once it's close to dry or dry) and that works out well.

I used the Mixed Chicks Kids Leave-in conditioner when I wash DD's hair and I use Shea Moisture's COCONUT & HIBISCUS KIDS CURLING BUTTER CREAM to style. I like the cream a lot and it really defines her curls. I wash DD's hair more often in the summer, but I try to wash only once a week in the Fall/Winter. Her hair is never really dry but I wet it everyday to style it. I plan to start using a satin pillow case and twist her hair to see of that eliminates the need to wet it everyday.
