Hi,

Thanks for your response. While reading it, it dawned on me that I didn't
address the fact that she normally wears her hair braided (for the past
year).
We wanted to give it a break this time since she's getting her school
pictures done this Thursday. She's going back to braids but I thought there
was
some other option we could try for a minute. I actually like her hair
texture
& the wave pattern she possesses but the "drawing-up- when wet" thing occurs
and looks a bit dry. I'm going to research the curl activators out there and
see if I can find something that will tame & moisturize her hair is she does
a "wash & wear" style. Thanks again & I will definitely visit your website.
Peace!

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
at www.girlgetyourhair at www.gi

Peace and Blessings
