[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh, but be careful what messages you send, OP!  I have very curly/frizzy hair that my mother was always trying to find ways to help me style.  I felt so ugly and insecure, and I think my low "hair self esteem" contributed to low "body self esteem," eating problems, etc.  I wish my Mom had been brave enough to find a cute short no-maintenance cut for me when I was young (even though they were much less in-style than they are now), so that I could have grown up without avoiding the pool and sports that would require me to wash my hair, etc.  When I think of the hours I spent as a teen in giant rollers, ironing my hair, and crying in front of the mirror -- what a waste![/quote]

Seriously?  Oh the drama![/quote]

Read "Curly Girl" by Lorraine Massey and you'll see that millions of curly girls have gone through this type of thing with low self esteem.  Show me one news anchor or glam TV star who stays naturally curly all the time.  It's true that society tries to 'fix' curly hair.

Anyway, OP - please try to be positive about your DD's hair.  I also have a white curly girl, but my hair is quite curly too so I know more-or-less what to do.  Never brush.  Lots of detangler in the morning with just a wide tooth comb or fingers.  I definitely suggest reading the book I mentioned.  In fact, I think the latest one has a CD with it so might show you some techniques.  She should love her hair & so should you.[/quote]
