I decided to trim the dead ends off my daughters hair. Now that was really hard cause she is only 3 and biracial and i wasn't used to cutting hair so curly. Mind you its forgiving i don't think the haircut is all that even nor is it blended. I don't want to cut off anymore off her head but i think i should take her for a small trim to fix it up. What should i do? If my hubby knows i cut it he will flip out he doesn't want me to cut her hair. I am trying to grow out her hair but I am having alot of trouble managing her hair. I need some advice on how what to do and how often to wash her hair and what to use. She is half black and her hair is really curly and dry in the front of the head for some reason. Thanks so much.

Do not listen to Xenon, only comb her hair when it is wet, and only with a wide toothed comb, do not comb from the scalp down, it'll pull the hair, start from the ends to work your way through the tangles. The hair is easier to comb when its wet because the water is soaked into spongelike porous hair, it softens the curl and makes it easier to manage. If you wait until its dry you'll have knots that are "baked in" trust me. I'm black, my three year old is biracial, we both have long curly hair. Use hair lotion and detangler before you comb it. Wash it every other day, like 2x a week because more often it'll get dry and frizzy, but still rinse and condition it every night or two to moisturize it, afterwards use a little olive oil to seal in moisture, don't rinse it out, and put it in a few braids.... There are websites for taking care of biracial hair, google it.

Try using extra moisturizing hair shampoos and conditioners, salon brands like Big Silky Sexy Hair and Moisture Scentsation by Abba. Maybe you have a friend that is a licensed cosmetologist, we can get it (big silky) in the gallons for $15. After you wash and condition, rinse and re-condition this time not rinsing it all out, just squeeze it out. For styling you should add a shine serum and blow dry most of the moisture out then style. After she is six years you can get her hair blow dryed straight and flat ironed, this will be the best time to start trimming it, because you will get a better cut when it is straight and then won't have to take as much off.
Everything you put in her hair should be moisturizing or hydrating, and don't depend on store brands to help you they will only build up and make her hair brittle, causing breakage.
Don't wash every day...drying. try every two or three days.
Don't let anyone who isn't experienced in curly hair touch hers.

this is what i would do. Maybe take her to a haircutting place, a nice one recommened for yound children and see what they can do. im sure they could fix it up. If not, let her hair grow out. it will soon grow back in full length. Take my hair for example, my mom did that to my hair when i was young but it grew back perfectly fine. Tell your hubby you have it under control and she needed a cut. Dont feel confortable with that? say she got a hold of some gum.

I have some ideas, you should wash it everyday or at least every other day, you could use Johnson baby shampoo or other mild children's shampoo. There are all kinds of detangling products you can get to comb it out and then try putting some leave in conditioner to tame the frizzies. Maybe a trip to the beauty salon would be good and they can give you advise on products to use, good luck.

1. take her to get it trimmed...you will thank yourself for doing that
2. listen to your hubby i don't know why guys want their daughters to have long hair and their wives are against it?
3. PRENATAL VITAMINS if u have them crush them in to her baby shampoo it'll make it grow sooooooooo smooth and soft and even enhance her curls (u might even want to try it yourself) if you're out of prenatal vitamins i'm sure u can find them at GNC or any other pharmacy
4 wash every other NIGHT not day and DON'T EVER COMB HER WET CURLS and DON'T EVER TAKE A TOWEL TO HER WET CURLS u have to blot/dab/soak up the water not rub it out of the hair....hair is it's most delicate when it's wet if you comb or dry vigouroulsy u risk damaging it...let it fall into it's own natural state
5. braid her hair b4 she goes to bed
6. leave in conditioner + shine mist (they are both inexpensive and look AMAZING)
7. save hair spray for special occations AVOID AVOID AVOID gels, moose, and everything of the like
good luck :)

I would go to Supercuts or similar family place (Fantastic Sams) that doesn't cost much and is used to doing kid's hair. Before you go, I'd ask if anyone has experience in black hair. I would certainly think that is a specialty, and if you get someone that understands her hair he/she may be able to help you manage it after they fix it.

Take her to a professional. Tell your husband to get over it...hair grows back! If he remains upset...then I'm sorry that you picked him.

Take her to a professional. That would be the easiest thing for you to do.
