Detangling My daughters hair

My daughters have really long hair (down to their waists) and tangles can often be a problem. But a friend of mine suggested we use silk drops, and wow what a difference! It lasts through a few washes and makes their hair so soft. Jeez I sound like an infomercial, but it really does work. You should try it.

I think combing kids' hair is not that difficult. Maybe you should use shampoo with conditioner for kids' hair so that it is soft when you comb.

Johnson & Johnson use to make a detangler spray for kids hair that I think is still made. My mo used it on my hair when I was little, worked wonders. There are also kids shampoos you can buy with a built in detangler.

My daughter is bi-racial. Her hair is very soft, but very curly. I have a major issue with one section of her hair. It turns into a little rats nest constantly. I leave her hair down, but in a headband most of the time. I recently bought some stuff from Sunsilk that is for de-frizzing your hair. It is in a green bottle. You just use a little nickel sized drop on the hair when it is still damp and it combs right out.

I always had this sort of problem when I was young, and even now. When I use a conditioner, comb it through the hair and wash it out - my hair is usually unknotted. My recent one seems to work well it is an organic coconut shampoo by an Australian company called Diva. My hair is quite fine but there is a lot of it. Sometimes I know my hair has been so knotty that I have to try and run my fingers through my hair with the conditioner to get the knots half out before I can get the brush through it, but lately I think I can usually just brush it through. Maybe this will work with your daughters.

Make sure that you wash hair with her either standing up as in the shower or leaning back as in a shampoo bowl so that hair can be in one direction. When your are washing DO NOT use circular motion when you are massaging the scalp, as this causes it to tangle. Then when conditioner is applied comb thru the hair. Towel dry the hair but not completely. Use a leave-in-conditioner/detangler and comb thru. I use Pantene Shampoo and Conditioner. I use a Motions Leave-in Conditioner or Elasta QP H-Two Leave-in conditioner. Both of these you can find at your standard beauty supply stores that carry African American hair care products. Hope this helps.

I'm not bi-racial, but I have always had long hair. When I was young it was down to my butt. My mom always bought the Johnson & Johnson No More Tears for my sister and I and it always worked great! I don't have girls myself, but I'm pretty sure I have seen No More Tears still being sold as well as other similar products. But definitely make sure you use conditioner, and not a shampoo/conditioner all in one, use a conditioner on it's own. If I even just wet my hair I will not get a comb or brush through it if I don't use conditioner. I have tried the all in one stuff and for long hair it just does not work for the tangles.
