I have tried what i use on my hair but my hair does not tangle like hers it's really easy to detangle mine. Her hair is thicker, longer and I feel so bad when it's time to get her hair done. i am looking for suggestions I don't want her to feel tortured and want to make getting her done a pleasant experience, any suggestion please.
1. Detangle from the ends down while the hair is wet
2. Detangle in small sections and if needed, put each individual section into a loose twist
3. Use a light product that gives the hair some slip
4. Try doing her hair when she is sleeping or drowsy. You can still do that for a 5 year old.
5. Put her hair in some nice cornrows and use a sleep cap or stocking cap at night. A good style should last at least 2 weeks. This way, you'll only have to do hair twice a month or so.
