Any ideas on how to take care of my daughter's always dry hair?

She is 6 years old, and I think I have tried everything on the market to prevent it from breaking and turning brownish. Do you know of any good hair treatment?Any ideas on how to take care of my daughter's always dry hair?
What kind of hair does she have? if it's frizzy or curly or coarse (affrican, middle eastern, etc.)


I would use a shampoo and conditioner without ';Laureth sulfate'; or ';disodium laurel'; - it is murder on these kinds of hair.


The best one I've found for my son and husband (middle eastern hair) is Burt's Bees - you can get it a lot of places, but the health food stores usually sell all of the products.


Also, it could be build up from many treatments and the water minerals, so start rinsing it with apple cider vinegar every week - just make sure not to get it in her eyes - it stings, you should put the vinegar in after shampoo and conditiner, but then do a quick water rinse after - she will have a slight vinegar smell for the day, so do it on the weekend.


I know, it's hard - I've really had to experiment with my guys!Any ideas on how to take care of my daughter's always dry hair?
Im assuming that your daughter is bi-racial or african american. If so, you need to oil her scalp every 2-3 days and also rub some oil through her hair and gently comb and brush it. Use a mosturizing shampoo called Creme of Nature (it works WONDERS) and wash it ONCE a week. Because of the texture of the african american hair, it needs oils to keep it from getting dry, brittle, and it also makes it grow, therefore, do NOT wash it more than once a week. If your daughter is not of african american decent, i apologize and forget my comment. Hope this helps.
Silk Elements Hair Cholesterol


you can get it at Sally's Beauty Supply.


It works right away to help dry, brittle hair. And it makes it soft as silk.





don't wash her hair every day, let the natural oils sink it. Washing too often will dry the hair.





Apply vitamin E oil from the capsules to the ends of her hair. It will keep them healthy, moisturized, and prevent split ends.
Ask you're salon professional to order you a bottle of Instacure, its a leave in conditioner that will help you comb it and also protect it from damaging sunlight....its very light and mild for a young ones sensitive skin...also Paul Mitchells Baby dont cry shampoo and use Biolage Conditioning balm after, or if you perfer the Redken All Soft shampoo and conditioner, but def invest in a bottle of Instacure
Don't use pantene. It coats your hair with yucky wax and makes it look healthy when it's not.


Use Aussie Moist. I have dry hair (its curly too) and this stuff is a godsend. Nothing works half as well, not even salon products.


also, don't wash her hair too much if its so dry. try every other day first then see what happens and use your judgement.
... Just wondering... if your daughter is only six, why is her hair already breaking?? is it because she is rough on it?? I remember when I was little, my hair was only washed maybe twice a week. Don't wash it too often, and use a shampoo and conditioner made for kids... the chemical makeup of children's hair is NOT the same as adult hair!!!
extra moisturizing shampoos and conditioners. you might also want to consider washing her hair only once every few days so the natural oils from her skin can sink in and protect it.
You can take her to a salon and ask what kind of shampoo and conditioner would be best for her hair type.
Take to make her take a more thorough shower with high quality shampoo and conditioner. Head %26amp; Shoulders seems to work the best.
Does she go in the pool too much? That is very weird for a young girl. Try Moracan Oil Treatment or Ojon Treatment.
use conditioners and baby oil for hair.
use the pantene conditioner and shampoo for dried hair.


that really really helped mine A LOT!
