Wow, I've been gone a long time. Ok, I have a friend who's a foster parent, and she has a 22 month old whom she's been fostering since she was a day old (hopefully she'll be adopting her soon - she should have been available for adoption already AFAIC but that's a whole 'nother rant).
Anyway, Little Miss is bi-racial and her hair is baby fine and silky and curly as all get out. When she was a tiny baby there wasn't all that much of it to worry about, but now she's getting older she's got some serious frizz going on. We're talking Art Garfunkel after an unfortunate tasering incident here.
My friend took her to a hair salon that deals with curly hair and they sold her a ton of products that hasn't done a bit of good. So, knowing that I used to hang out over here, she asked me to ask you guys - What can she do about this child's wild hair? I've already suggested COing, less frequent washing (which unfortunately won't work very well because Little Miss gets VERY enthusiastic when she eats, and it's hard to get macaroni out of hair without washing it), and daily oiling, but no one listens to me. Mom's getting desperate, though, and neither one of us has any experience dealing with curly hair; what else can she do to un-Garfunkel baby girl's hair?
