Hello,

Personally, I would not put any chemicals in your daughter's hair.
Especially since she does alot of activities that causes her hair to
sweat out. Wearing her hair naturally is the best option such as
cornrows, twists, and braids. I would wear these styles with her own
hair and not with added hair. I have a daughter and we both wear it
naturally. This has worked tremendously. It keeps your hair healthy,
full and long. For more information you could also visit my website

Peace and Blessings
