[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is very surprising to me. I do not mean that as a critique at all of anyone who responded. I think it’s just one of those things where parenting standards change over time. I remember showering, brushing, and braiding independently from about 4 onwards. No help ever.

Have you down her in detail how much product to use and how to work fingers through the hair? As in, do it on yourself in front of her and make her watch? And discuss technique as you go? And has you asked her why she wastes so much product? Maybe her answer will surprise you or guide you in how to handle it.[/quote]

I’ve gone over it with her many many many times.  Use this amount of shampoo and this amount of conditioner.  Rinse for this long and like this, your hair should feel a this way when it’s all rinsed out.

I think she’s capable but she just “forgets” or doesn’t want to do it.  The wetting her hair and saying she washed (when she didn’t) gets to me the most because she’s lying. [/quote]
