Girl wash hairs

It sounds like you don’t know how to manage her hair.

The first step is to cut it closer to shoulder length — she can still have long hair, but waist length is too much, especially if you’re bad at taking care of it.

Also, why are you blow drying her hair??? Use a towel and let it dry naturally. She probably has wavy hair if it blows up to an Afro when you blow dry.

Lastly, learn how to braid hair. If you put her hair in French braids that will protect it and still look nice. If she’s not in sports or getting sweaty, washing hair twice a week is fine.

Good luck!

I’d put her hair in a “protected” hairstyle like braids.

For God’s sake, cut her hair. Long, stringy, greasy hair is ridiculous on a little girl - or anyone, really.

Agree with almost everything you say, but no need to cut the hair... maybe trim. My girls hair is not waist length any longer, but they still like it quite long... the French braids help a lot.

I have cutting hair that I used to wash daily until my hair dresser told me to stop and wash (shampoo) weekly. That was years ago. I honestly can’t tell the difference and every hair dresser I’ve been to in the intervening years have complimented its texture. It never gets oily or stringy. I honestly don’t know how long I would have to go without a wash for that to happen as I’ve never experienced it.

I also wash my DD (even curlier hair) once a week. It gets conditioned daily. 🤷‍♀️
