Interacial hair care...HELP?

What are the best products (including types of hair brushes) to use for an interacial (african american/white) girls hair? She has very thick hair which appears to be damaged to me because her mother has been putting chemical relaxers in her hair and she is only 10. Her hair also gets matted (from not caring for it correctly). Any advise would be great. My boyfreind has no clue, and I have never seen a child with matted (not tangled) hair. Her mother appearantly has no clue as well. We are going to take her to an african amercan stylist soon, but would like to know what t do in the meantime.

Use shampoo and conditioner for dry/damaged hair. After washing, apply a moisturizer to the hair. Pink oil moisturizer is very good, but you can also use coconut oil, which comes in a jar, and is solid at room tempurature.

Don't use brushes at all, unless a stylist shows you how and for a particular hairdo. Use wide toothed combs ONLY. When combing out the hair, start at the tips and work in small sections. Be very patient! It's so easy to hurt their little heads! If it is truly matted, it may be necessary to cut it off, but do try to comb it out first. Use plenty of hair oil, or even a bit of olive oil.

Once you have it combed out, wash it gently, without a lot of rubbing, use plenty of conditioner, and only pat and gently squeeze with the towel. Apply hair oil and comb it out again.

Don't wash it too often. Her hair should only need washing once a week. Have her sleep with her hair braided or wrapped in a scarf to prevent rubbing on her pillow, which will tangle it badly.

Good luck, and thank you for loving this little girl.

before doing anything i would say wash and deep condition the hair. feel free to use shampoo and condition from wal mart or target, i do and i am african american. with the condition leave it in for at least 20 minutes you may want a leave in condition to use after the deep conditioner. after that her hair should be softer, if still matted try using baby/child spray in detangler.

then put her hair into sections and decorate with items if she is not to grown up

good luck....forward any questions about process i will be happy to walk you through

Need a wide tooth comb, a natural bristle brush. Need to condition it, and a detangler. Try Just 4 Me products for little girls until you get her to the salon. Do not apply any more chemicals to her hair.
