There must be healthier and more natural ways to manage African hair. Sorry I'm not so familiar with African hair. But maybe jojoba can do any good? I personally love jojoba. It is absolutely risk-free and naturally contains lots of vitamine E,A and lots of other goodies. Also has a soothing effect and is very similar to our skin fat (sebum). Won't clog your pores. It is a wax not oil, so it doesn't have the disadvantages of oils. You can put a few drops like 2-3 in your palm together with your shampoo (and/or conditioner). It blends very easily together. This makes my hair smoother and easier to handle. To tame the hair, you can apply a few drops in your palm, rub it and then go over your dry hair. Jojoba should be cold-pressed and organic. Jojoba can be used in and for many different ways. Did I mention I love it? ;) Hey Dallas, it really does sound dangerous to use relaxers especially for a child.

Please check it out and give the techniques in it a pop instead of turning your daughter's hair into something it isn't in order to render it manageable. Very, very curly hair just isn't going to tolerate being treated as if it's simply defective straight hair. Check out:

There are LOTS of styles for virgin African-American hair. Step away from the box, and run toward a wide-toothed comb, ponytail holders, water, moisturizer, and someone who can help you care for your child's hair. I know you care or you wouldn't have bothered to ask the question. You can also consider cornrows. Good luck! No ma’am! The child’s hair is not the issue – let it do what it does.

They break down the hair's structure and it's just a matter of time until the chemicals catch up with you. Personally, I think all relaxers are harmful.
