How do I get ethnic hair to grow long and still look nice on a child?

Answer 1

Wash it once a week and deep condition it every other week, where you put the conditioner on,put a plastic cap on her/his head and let them sit under a dryer for 10min. But water is required in order for african/american hair to grow. Use a moisturizer daily that is not too heavy or not too light. Try a little pink oil moisturizer daily. And braids help also, not too tight though. My daughter had hair is patches when she was a baby now she is 5 and hair is down her neck, it's coarse but soft. Good Luck

Answer 2

What type of "ethnic" hair are you discussing?
Everyone's hair is based on their ethnic background.

Just remember, everyone looks good the way they came naturally. By letting a kid know that their hair, skin, teeth, whatever do not look good will only hurt their self esteem.
Run a comb or brush through the kid's hair and it will be fine.

Answer 3

I'm caucasian, so maybe I shouldn't answer this question. I'm assuming you mean African-American hair, and I don't know anything about what's required to take care of hair of that texture.

However, I have yet to see a little kid who didn't look cute, regardless of the texture of his/her hair or how it's styled. So my guess is whatever you do, it's going to be fine.
