[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh and OP again—that’s interesting about brushing. She brushes her hair constantly but again, it’s not curly so maybe that’s ok?[/quote]

I bet it's actually curly. Take her to fiddleheads. They will help her.[/quote]

Thank you PP! As you can all tell I’m clueless about most hair (mine has always been quite short). I should have mentioned earlier that we moved out of the DC area a few years ago so I can’t take her to fiddleheads.  But I welcome all suggestions and please keep them coming![/quote]

OP there are a few really good and large groups for curly hair on Reddit.  [/quote]

Yes, the r/curlyhair subreddit is a great place to start. They’ll have suggestions for affordable products if that’s a concern and can probably point you to a helpful salon in your area.

But just before you go down that rabbit hole - the curly hair reddit can be OVERWHELMING and make you feel like you need to spend hours on your hair and follow strict routines, and not wash your hair often, etc. That just doesn't work for some of us - like I live in a hot climate, exercise outside every day, and HAVE to wash every day. I also just do not have the patience - or, frankly, the desire - for a long, multi-step routine. So I keep my hair fairly short, get it trimmed every month, use one product, and air dry even on days that I have to look like a Serious Professional. This is what works for me - your daughter will have to experiment to figure out what works for her, but I think we can all agree on two steps to follow right now: (1) no more constant brushing, get a wide-toothed comb that she only uses when her hair is wet, and (2) go find a hairdresser who can give her a cut that works for her hair.

It's really nice of you to crowdsource options for her - I hope she finds some things that help her feel better about her hair. I'll bet it'll be gorgeous once she leans into the curl instead of fighting it.[/quote]
