My daughter is six years old and has beautiful natural hair. It has never been relaxed and since age four has been straightened maybe five times. I usually keep it braided or in two strand twists. I can manage it well and know how to detangle. I must admit I have slacked on the washing lately going perhaps three weeks. I also don't moisturize or seal her ends regularly. Still her hair continues to thrive. Her stretched her reaches her tail (behind, butt) and unstretched its mid back.
I would like to learn to care for her hair so that she can wear it out sometimes with well defined curls. The only time it hangs is in braids or twists. I want her to love her hair and never relax.
Problem: I'm not a good example. I have relaxed hair and love it. It's thriving as well. How can I expect her to remain natural when she likes to see my hair hang? And although I relax, I prefer to wear curly roller sets. I've thought about going natural but don't know how I would manage or transition. I don't wear wigs or braids. When I was taking swimming lessons I would wear braidouts though.
Help? Tips? Advice?
Thanks!
