What kind of hair texture does she have, and how long is it? Both very fine and very curly/nappy hair can have tangling problems, but the solutions and products would be quite different. Banty OP here. She has fine hair, not curly somewhere between straight and wavy. It gets frizzy and tangled. It's just below her shoulders now. She wants to grow it longer. Over the years she had short and long hair and I didn't find one easier than the other. My hair is fine (although 'thick' in that I have a lot of it) and wavy - I use a "defrizzer" from the salon and it works fairly well. It's hard to get it completely even, though, but you may have better luck with it. As to whether or not it tears her eyes; you'll just have to just try different ones. Is your house very dry in the wintertime, do you get static problems? Maybe that's part of it too... Banty What is the brand name of the defrizzer you use? Thanks. I use Paul Mitchell "Gloss Drops". It's not for the frugal ..but I hate fussing with my hair so, since it works, I don't want to try other stuff. Banty I'm frugal only when I can get away with it So far I've used Biosilk, fructise, J&J detangling spray, Infusium, and Pantene leave in conditioner. One more product won't hurt All those that I've used only work for that day. By the next day, we're back to frizzy hair. |

I understand you use a leave in conditioner, but do you use a conditioner when you wash her hair that rinses out? DD1 has frizzy, curly hair and she uses a rinse out conditioner and then Fructise (or whatever that is) de-frizz stuff on her hair after she is done. She doesn't blow dry her hair either. -- Sue (mom to three girls) wrote in message ... I use garnier fructise leave in conditioner for my DD's hair every single day.

She's very sensitive to begin with and this is causing too many tears in the morning. When I wash their hair, I squeeze out the water and apply the leave-in while it's still wet. Then I dry the hair with cold air. I figured since I'm using the leave in anyway, I don't need the rinse-out conditioner. I'll try it this weekend. I bought an super strong rinse out conditioner from Fructise. I don't remember what it's called but it comes in a small tub. We should apply and leave it for 3 minutes and rinse out. I'll see if it works. The frizz is mostly on the sides of her hair, behind the ears. |

I hope there's an easier solution. Thanks. Why do you have to dry it? That might be adding to your problem. If I blow-dry my hair, it gets really tangly until I wash it again. Plus it's damaging to some people's hair. Wet hair won't hurt anyone. When my kids got out of the shower when they were little, I combed and then braided their hair for bed. No blow-drying. Marie If I leave her with damp hair, she gets head cold and keeps sneezing all day. I'm the same way. I dry her hair with cold air button on the dryer. I see your point though. Sounds like an allergy rather than a head cold. A head cold doesn't make you sneeze just one day, and colds come from viruses, and not wet heads. Are you sure she doesn't sneeze at other times. I sometimes sneeze a couple of times in the morning due to temperature change, and also dust and mold and other things that I'm allergic to will set me off. That's interesting. Take me for an example. Ever since I was a child, if I don't dry my hair thoroughly, I feel groggy and sick, sneeze a lot and I have to take a nap. I don't know what I'm allergic to. It's certainly not one shampoo because I change it often. What is this called if not head cold? I'm not calling it cold in the "viral" sense of the word. I'm just curious to know what it is. |

Hi -- A little sneezing isn't a problem. If that's all it is, let her sneeze. If it's more than sneezing, but only happens when you leave her hair wet, then do the experiment of leaving her hair wet without having used any shampoo or anything. It could be that she's mildly allergic to the wet shampoo/conditioner residue, but once it has dried it's less in the air and so bothers her less. Other ideas might be to wash her hair earlier, say, before supper, so her hair has a chance to dry naturally before she goes to bed. When it gets warm out, just wash it in the morning. Some hair is just naturally tangly. Your choices are to keep it very short, or wait until it gets very long and then tie it into braids. I found, by the way, that combing long hair under the shower was easier than combing it out of the shower. You can do that on days when it's okay to leave the hair quite wet. (Just squeeze it out gently with a towel once out of the shower.) I hope these thought help. --Beth Kevles -THE-COM-HERE http://web.mit.edu/kevles/www/nomilk.html -- a page for the milk-allergic Disclaimer: Nothing in this message should be construed as medical advice.

I second the suggestions to 1. Let it air dry, and 2. Get a trim. Just 1/4 inch if she's trying to grow it out. But split ends really make tangling worse. One thing that's helped with brushing my daughter's fine hair is to use a somewhat soft bristled round hairbrush -- the kind people use when they're trying to blowdry curls. When her hair is really tangled I half pull/half roll the brush. It allows me to be a bit more gentle. The other thing is to attack bad tangles from the bottom up (brush out the bottom, then move a bit higher in several steps).

It's a lot easier to say we get colds from wet hair, but I don't think people are being that literal when speaking. |

There have been experiments done where people were made cold and wet but protected from viruses and they did not get colds. But if they were given viruses they got colds even when they were warm and dry. I sneeze in the morning when I get out of bed because of the temperature change. I think this is not uncommon. |

Yes, it's pretty much universally agreed that cold condition itself does not directly cause a cold. Colds are directly caused by viruses. But if they were given viruses they got colds even when they were warm and dry. I think more recent studies show that being cold may reduce the body's ability to fight off a cold. |
