My daughters are 2 and 1. They are mixed race (African) and have very tight curly hair, when I do it every morning they scream the house down. I have tried wetting it, using a conditioner and a leave in conditioner but nothing seems to calm it down.
I do realise that there is no 'cure' for this but something to make it easier on them would be nice.
Any sensible suggestions welcome...thanks.
How do I comb my girls hair?
I have natural hair, its extremely thick and curly probably similar to your daughters. I bet their hair is beautiful, when they let you near it lol. I have trouble combing my own hair so i definitely know what you mean. What i normally do to soften my hair, is to wash it, then apply olive oil and leave in conditioner, Parnevu, its in a container that resembles hair grease. It softens it up so much and makes it easier to comb. But you have to do all these things while it wet. Dry hair is extremely painful and the stress trying to comb it may damage their hair from the roots. When it is wet, hold onto the roots and comb the ends. Once those are untangled ease your way up. Or you can let them, well the 2 year old, try to comb her hair a little. She will feel like a big girl and ease it out some for you, pain free in the meantime. Your last resort should be a kiddie relaxer, lol ok so Im kind of biased because I love natural hair, especially mixed race hair (its gorgeous) but a relaxer definitely straightens it. Try Just for me. My mom used to put me to sleep when she did my hair, maybe you should wait until nap time.

Black hair is extremely fragile. A gentle touch is required to avoid unnecessary breakage and hair loss; therefore, always use a wide-tooth comb or pick when combing the hair. Avoid fine-tooth combs as they snag and pull out curly/kinky hair. Invest in a quality brush; natural boar brushes are the best.
hair needs moisture, moisture, and more moisture! Consider this when purchasing hair care products. Avoid drying products such as hair spray, mousse, holding gels, etc. Opt for moisturizers, leave-in conditioners, and styling lotions.
Make sure you have these things to make combing your childrens hair easier
Wide-tooth comb or pick... the wider the better (Goody has a variety of combs available at most grocery stores)
Natural bristle brush (The Body Shop has a nice selection of brushes)
Hydrating shampoo (try Curly Qs Hydrating Shampoo)
Moisturizing Conditioner (try Curly Qs Coconut Dream Conditioner)
A daily moisturizer - this will add needed moisture, and ease combability (Moist Curls is a great daily moisturizer)
Good Luck i hope this helps

wow! mixed race at that age huh?!
anyway my advice is that u keep it braided all the time and to make it easier for them, yes give them a perm.... that also means u have to take extreme good care of their hair now. no heat stuffs, texturizing or of the sorts. just keep their hair braided all the time.

My niece's were the same way when they were younger and one of them still cry sometimes when she's mad lol, but not as bad though and she's 4. They have tight curly hair as well. I mean all you can really do is try a detangler and see if they'll help I use to use that when I was younger and it worked pretty good, if they still sell it, ... there just tender headed and it's gonna hurt them for a while, but eventually they'll get use to it. Sorry that's all I got :o\

Well my hair is kind of like that and i am an Indian...If i comb my hair after a shower it goes WILD when it dries!! So what i do is put hair oil..like coconut or amla oil and i comb my hair and leave it in for 2 hrs..This helps it moisturize and be less frizzy. Then i comb it be4 takin a shower, because if you comb it after a shower its gonna get relly puffy. Also u can apply yogurt mixed with mustard oil..this helps the hair become soft and less puffy. Just dont be rough with their hair or it will start breaking easily...take your time working with their hair so u dont break the ends...Good luck!! And u must be a gr8 father =) =)

buy a kids detangler shampoo and spray and maybe give your kids something to entertain them while you are doing their hair to get their mind off of it =) even little things like having a colorful hairbrush or pretty heart clips can make a child smile !!

Ignore the person that told you to put a perm in their hair for one! It would be insane to put a relaxer on a child that young.
Seriously, use a wide-toothed comb, sectioning the hair before you wash it. Comb the hair from the endds to the root, trying not to tug on the hair. Use hair products that are formulated for black hair, because although they are mixed race it sounds as if their hair is more Afro.
I know it's not nice when they cry like that but if you are being gentle, are sectioning the hair and combing with a wide-tooth hair from, root to tip, it will get easier. They get used to it, trust me. I used to hate it when my mum combed my hair because she was rough and tugged my hair but you get used to it!
Another tip, get their hair plaited or canerowed on a regular basis, like weekly. That will keep the hair in place, keep the moisture in, will be less stressful than having their hair done everyday and will look lovely.

Please dont perm their hair, that can cause damage to the scalp at that tender age . Try to use products that will make doing their hair easy eg mixed chicks milkshake :-). Dont worry its a product that will make the softer to handle . also try combing the hair from the tips first while firmly holding the base of the hair . This will make the experience better for your kids . Good luck :-)
