Help with products for mixed race hair.....

[katymac]

OK so I can't afford to buy what I want on-line
And I can't afford to go to London right now

What can I use on DD's hair

That I can buy in Norfolk (pref from a supermarket)

And will make her look spectacular (just like she always looks)

TIA

Don't know if this piece has any brands that you might find, km?

I wonder if a local hairdresser might be able to order some for you from a wholesaler?

So far I've only found 2 hairdressers to cut her hair

and one was crap

The other is the sort that visits the house - and couldn't get my normal stuff even when she had a shop

8.....and very beautiful (not that I'm biased or anything)

Well you know what you want and where to buy it, and even if Twiglett can't go for you while her DD is ill I bet someone else will - start a thread tomorrow with the product name and where to buy it in the title and ask for someone to buy some for you and keep bumping it, MN is great for that kind of thing

Thanks Jan - I guess I just want life to be easy....you know nip to Tescos and pick it up.....

I don't want a major military manouver each time she needs more

I guess I resent that she isn't catered for locally

Sally - I'm too scared to try anything after wrecking her hair when she was little

Sorry - went to bed

DH twists it into little bumps or she wears it loose with a scarf or hairband

My neice has really afro hair and watching her mum comb it gives me the shivers. But she uses something called a detangler from Tescos. Will find out which one it is if you want. Her curls are not loose at all. But she does keep it in 2 plaits.

DD has very loose curls but i have quite corse hair.I like Asda's Twisted Sista range...specially the serum for combing through.

Not a hairdresser but my hairdresser says to use a detangling shampoo and believe it or not a little bit of good old Olive Oil which is great for the scalp and leaves hair soft and well moisturised. Don't slap loads of it on though.

If you think your dd needs certain products just buy them... you need to get used to it for her sake and yours. My mum tried to anglisize my hair when I was young..what a mistake. Just pay for the right products at least they are around these days.

Olive oil is excellent i swear by it i dont use it often about twice a month cos to much oil on the scalp is bad it blocks the pores & can cause problems . I apply it after the hair has been washed & conditioned i mean straight after before the towel goes on just a little through soaking wet hair combed through with a wide toothed comb then towel dried & left.some people mix a little with there normal hair products whatever takes your fancy.
