  • hair breakage in african american hair?

    My daughter flat irons her hair every other day and relaxes it every six to eight weeks. I saw the tips are white (Burned from flat iron?) and she has massive amounts of hair breaking from the middle of the hair and the floor and sink were covered in hair. The new growth area to about four inches down looks wonderful . Her hair is shoulder length (just barely) I think she needs to leave relaxers alone and the flat iron and go au natural for about 6 months. Trim her hair so it looks decent and let it grow. However I am not experienced in african american hair. educated suggestions please.

  • African american hair care?

    I have a foster child, beautiful little girl. I asked a coworker that is african american how to best take care of her hair. I was told never to wash it more than once every two weeks. To use oil in it every day. I currently use Africa's Best oil. We both love the smell. I wash her hair with Olive oil Shampoo and I have used the olive oil lotion conditioner when braiding or styling her hair. It seems to work better on getting the knots out. Her hair is very tight curl. I feel guilty not washing her hair more often especially if Im putting oil in it everyday. Help me so I can help her.

    I don't have a pastry cutter so a friend told me to use a fork and knife like she does have also tried to use a blender and my hands. I get the same results everytime.
