my little sister

 

 

 

 

 
I think you are on the right track with massaging and washing her hair. There is a childrens growth forum on the boards, you should check it out. And maybe print some of the info for your parents so they can help out too! I don't have any kids so I don't really know what is best for them...but I would assume that for children, less is better. Have a look around the boards and see what you find.

 

Does she just naturally have thinner hair, or had it become thinner in places due to the braids? If it was the braids then maybe its best she takes a "breather". Tight braids can cause hairloss.

 

Again, I'm not too familiar with kids hair. But I know you need to be as gentle as possible. I'm sure the moms around here will help you out! Good luck, and she's really lucky to have a sister like you who cares so much about how she feels!:)

 

Also - when I was a child, I had hair sooo short and fine and thin that my mom had to use those little velcro barrettes in my hair...But as I got older, I just grew masses and masses of hair. So maybe its the same with your sister?

 

I think she only had braids once (maybe 2wice) before she doesn't consistently have them. Her hair is thin by itself but maybe it was my mum not relaxing properly. I have told her countless times not to relax from root to end but she still does so is it possible these baldy patches are overprocessed? (I refuse her to relax my own hair)

Will try go out and get products tomorrow or the day after.

 

And thankyou mcelwee wife!
