Thanks so much for this thread!
Okay I'm hoping that I don't get snapped up for this but...
My youngest daughter has 4c hair and I just don't know how to properly care for it. It's evident by the simple fact that my other daughter's all have mbl hair and her hair has been stuck at sl since she was 2 (She's 4 now). Which is a clue to me, that I'm not caring for her hair the right way.
I know many don't believe in type 4c hair, but her hair is just a huge poof. When I wash her hair the water sits on top first, before it penetrates through. I can literally brush off the water that sits on top of her hair. Even when wet, it doesn't curl up.
Her hair is extremely dry all the time, no matter what I use. It's okay when I first comb it, but by the end of the day it's a dry thirsty mess.
I've used curl activator, moisturizing conditioners, gels, shea butter, creams and nothing has worked to alleviate the dryness.
Any suggestions ladies?
