[quote=Anonymous]My white daughter has 3B hair.  She definitely cannot manage it herself.

You don't have to cut it, no matter how matted it gets.  DD's hair has gotten out of control matter before.  I mean, it's become one painful, tumor-like mass (long story why...)

Bottom line is, you can always comb it through.  There is no point when you truly have to cut it off.

Just put your child in front of the tv, preferably a movie she's never seen, so she's happy to sit still.  Use a good hair oil, and a bit of water to frequently lube the hair.  Start each bit at the bottom, and slowly comb from a higher spot to work all the tangles out.  Use a fine tooth comb.  You may have a bit of breakage, but you should be able to do the whole thing in about 2 hours.

Make sure you don't criticize or shame her while you comb (personally, I get frustrated with my older one who has 2C hair and gets oppositional about hair care...).

Let her have fun at camp, and just deal with it when she returns.[/quote]
