My daughter's hair is like sponge after shampooing.  It requires much

heat (blow drying & flat iron/straightening) then thermal curling but

the humidity & sweating from gym everyday doesn't allow her hair to

last more than a few days.  In the past, I've tried relaxers but

swimming in the summer killed that option.  I don't know what to do

now.  Is there a "cold-wave" option that won't make her look like she

has the "oil-slick" look?  The closest thing I can think of for the

look I want for her is Wave Nouveau.  Can anyone give me some advice?

Thanks, "Going crazy in Philly"

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.girlgetyourhairback.com.



Peace and Blessings

Letting your daughter go natural is a wonderful alternative to

consider. Here's a product you might be interested in otherwise

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!

Thanks...I'm going to the store tomorrow to check out this line of products

up close...I still can't determine if there's any harsh chemicals in the

texture  softener because it looks exactly like the type of styles I want for my

daughter...peace!

Rest assured that if it alters the hair texture in any shape, form,

or fashion, then there's definitely harsh chemicals. There isn't a

chemical that's good for the hair that changes it from it's natural

state. I believe you may find that you love letting your daughter go

natural. And the benefits will be amazing, as well as the result.

She's 13 now, imagine the healthy head of hair she'll have as an

adult if you choose the natural route. I can't begin to tell you how

much I regret relaxing and using chemicals in my childhood and early

adult years. I love my beautiful fro and the attention I get-

negative and positive. The more I see black women balding or

spending excess at shops to maintain a perm, the more I fall in love

with my napptural crown of glory. For inspiration, go to

www.nappturality.com
