DD has the most gorgeous hair, but it's very hard to manage. She is part Asian, part European and part Black Caribbean. Her hair is incredibly thick and heavy, it takes hours to dry after being washed. It's also quite curly and has a tendency to become matted. For years she preferred it short, like boy short, and we just took her to a barbers, but now she's growing it and it's shoulder length. Neither she nor I really know how to care for it and the other day I spent 40 minutes trying to get the matts out and only managed to sort out about half of them. I really think she ought to be doing things like putting it in a pony tail before sleeping or perhaps using a silk hair wrap, but she won't listen to me. She could also use some advice on what products would work for her.
