[quote=Anonymous]9:45 again. Having curly hair or having a curly girl routine is a whole thing right now. I have lived with long, thick hair that is neither curly or straight for 40ish years and not everyone who doesn’t have hair that naturally dries smooth is secretly curly.  I have done the curl creams and gels and diffusers and it is a lot of work and expensive products. I also run or swim 5 days a week (and played sports when I was OP’s daughter’s age) and I think most viral Tik tok curly routines are aimed at people who can go days or a week without washing their hair. A teen in puberty or active in sports cannot do that.

I stand by my recommendation that before OP’s daughter goes down the “maybe I’m secretly curly” rabbit hole, she learns how to blow her hair out smooth 2-3x a week. The other days, she can wear it in a loose bun or a braid. My method requires a blowdryer, a round brush, a heat spray and some frizz serum to get started.

Brush similar to this - I’ve had maybe 2 brushes in 20 years. Both were under $20. I also have a Mason Pearson $$$ brush, but I’m an adult, with adult money to be frivolous with if I want. A basic round brush for styling and a basic paddle brush for smoothing / detangling is sufficient for a 12yr old.

$8 Heat spray - https://www.ulta.com/p/heat-tamer-spray-prod2111184?sku=2111184

Frizz serum - https://www.ulta.com/p/weightless-shine-working-serum-frizz-taming-hair-smoothing-pimprod2023597?sku=2579382

Serum can get expensive, but I use one pump every time I dry my hair and a seemingly small bottle lasts me forever. So long that the product I wanted to recommend is no longer made. Try to get samples at Ulta or Sephora before you invest in a $40 product or it gets just as $$$$ as the multi product curly routines.

She doesn’t need a fancy blow dryer. If her hair is very long or very thick, a nicer dryer does work a bit faster. This one is affordable and includes the focus nozzle for blow outs and a diffuser if she wants to try wavy styles. Another option is the “viral” Revlon round brush hair dryer. I have the Revlon, but it’s not my every day go-to tool. Personally I think it’s a bit hot for regular use without damaging hair and I think it might be a bit large and heavy for an 11/12 yr old. If you can get one on sale on Amazon for $20-30, it may be a nice option for days when you can style her hair for her - like picture day or a Jr high school dance. Especially if you don’t blow out your own hair and you are new to styling her hair texture.
