I then put it in a pony tail and then half way down add another pony tail holder. I forgot the conditioner yesterday.<BR/>Washing Courtney's hair is much better than it used to be. Last night was unreal. You would have had to saw it, to believed it. I have also tried braiding before she gets in the pool. The problem with that is, I can't get the crazy braid to unbraid because it is so knotted up. Courtney loves water. She swims under water, turns flips in the water, jumps off the ladder, and anything else. I think all that, with her hair just knots it all up. I will try some of the suggestions and see what happens.

Also, in the hair care section at Walmart, there is a tub of leave in conditioner that is Shea Butter that I use and it helps me with mine.<BR/><BR/>I tell you what...NO perms for me ever again. Now everytime I take my hair down from wearing it in a bun it's twisted, like a spiral perm does, but it looks more like dreadlocks. Very hard to comb through hair that is twisted like that.<BR/><BR/>Sorry it took you so long. Guess you could always try something more greasy like shortening. Though it would take alot of time to wash it all out. Might condition it really well though. =)~*This Mama*~https://www.blogger.com/profile/00446405761722930298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25700105.post-2109924292575295052007-06-29T07:44:00.000-05:002007-06-29T07:44:00.000-05:00I'm sure you realize that I understand!My suggesti...I'm sure you realize that I understand!<BR/><BR/>My suggestion would be to ALWAYS put her hair up in a solid bun or tight braids every time she even THINKS of swimming. Be diligent about it like you would ear plugs or nose plugs or sunscreen. Then, don't take her hair down until it's had time to dry a good bit (this works better with braids).<BR/><BR/>Michaela's hair is in braids all the time (even when she sleeps) for 2 reasons: because of her disability, and because it's too thick and easily tangles. The few times it's been "down" in the past couple years, was only for special occasions (weddings) and for short periods of time. Courtney is no Michaela, but you may want to consider your own version of this until she's older.<BR/><BR/>It even makes washing it easier. Washing, detangling, and rebraiding only took about 45 minutes yesterday.<BR/><BR/>Hope this helps!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00672853334159695888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25700105.post-11891260934511475172007-06-29T07:31:00.000-05:002007-06-29T07:31:00.000-05:00This sounds a little crazy but it really works- no...This sounds a little crazy but it really works- not fully sure though if courtney's hair is a little to wavy- you'll have to try it-<BR/>I do not brush the tangles out when my hair is wet: it makes it break off. Hair is so easy to break when wet.<BR/>I let my hair dry first and then pull a brush through. It's amazing, what used to take me an hour to brush through now brushes through with almost NO tangles. I've been doing this for at least four years- it's an amzing secret!AlabamaBrandshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17003844502298903636noreply@blogger.com
