Help for 9 Year Old Daughter
by Daytria Muckelroy
My daughter had very beautiful natural curly hair. My cousin permed it when she was 4 and it started breaking off at the edges. I have been taking care of it by washing once a week, conditioning and trying to braid it at least 2 times a month. What else can I do to get the length back cuz she is so embarrassed? Please help! Thank u! Hi Daytria, Treating the hair with heat, chemicals, etc will take its toll, sooner or later. Sometimes the harm caused to the hair is so severe that it takes a really long time to reverse the damage. Apply or massage a generous, but not dripping wet, amount of coconut oil onto her hair and scalp twice daily. For best results, keep the oil on overnight. It's important to gently massage the oil deep into her scalp and make sure each hair strand gets some oil all the way to the end. Do this for the first week or so. It may take longer, like a month, but make sure you give coconut oil a fair try. I've seen and/or heard many people who's hair was damaged in a variety of ways, usually after chemical application, and have found coconut oil to be the saving grace for their hair. Use the mildest, gentlest shampoo and conditioner you can get your hands on. Use 100 percent natural, organic products. Try it.
