    Yes, it's safe but I don't recommend a chemical relaxer unless their hair is uncontrollable. If that is what you want to do, then have it done at a salon.

    nicely, ceramic straighteners paintings good and warmth gently and keep your hair vivid. i assume it may be ok, purely an prolonged as you do not straighten her hair like on a daily basis. it may additionally help if u by using shampoos and conditioners on your daughters form of hair. it could make it greater conceivable. it rather is purely a theory nonetheless.

    don't do it you'll only be on the road to weak, damaged hair. Let it get shampoo and condition once a week. Have someone you know braid it up or put in a ponytail with some pretty barettes.

    Source(s): I let my daughters get their hair straightened two years ago. I just got their hair back to a natural state and working on letting it grow back. Both of my girls hair was past their shoulders,now it is barely past their ear.I'm so mad at myself for getting tired of playing in their pretty healthy thick hair. I wished I never did it because now they are having problems with the other girls in school.

    do it professionally because if you use an amateur straight iron you may just fry their hair and it wont stay straight for a long time.
