Hi gals, hoping some of you who might have thin hair can help me out. My 10-year-old daughter has thin, straight hair and a lot of it. It tangles if you look at it wrong. It tangles while I’m brushing it, for crying out loud. She prefers to wear it down which doesn’t help, and she loves to swim which also doesn’t help. To me, it feels dry and brittle, especially after swimming and even after letting conditioner sit on it in the shower for a while. After spending 20 minutes brushing it out last night after a day in the pool and a long shower, I told her I at least need to braid it before swimming, but that’s not gonna solve it 100% because her flyaways at the top of her head are still gonna tangle; it’s insane. Anyone have any products or techniques that you swear by to help combat this issue? We go through an awful lot of leave-in conditioner but I feel like it’s just a bandaid to a bigger issue. Thanks in advance!
It is a bit weird to use, I bring a little plastic bowl of it into the shower, then wet it until it’s like wet hummus or a yogurt consistency, and smear it all over my scalp and hair. Rinsing it all out is the most annoying part but it’s so worth it for how healthy my hair is now!
