DD12 and her hair - please help!

I am hoping someone on here can help me please!

DD12 washes her hair and whether it’s air dried or blow dried, it stays looking lank and there is a patch on the back of her head that is always greasy or tacky. She is adamant she is separating her hair and washing it properly. She is a sensible girl and I do believe her.

Dried her hair tonight and she has got upset because it’s still the same. Lots of girls have lovely shiny, healthy looking hair and hers is dull and lank. (I’d never tell her that though of course).

She is currently using Aveeno clarifying shampoo. Conditions the ends (this happens with or without conditioner).

I’m just at a loss for what to do to help her. At 12, she doesn’t want my help washing her hair in the shower!

Does anyone have any ideas? Techniques, product recs, something she could be doing?

My dds hair is like this when she washes it. As far as I can tell she either doesn't wash it properly or doesn't rinse it properly or both. She's 11 and I am still needing to go in and give it a good scrub 1-2 times a week when she's in the shower.

She tells me washes it fine. She lies!

Mine was like this.

Then l discovered she thought washing her hair was just putting shampoo on and letting it sit! No lathering….

Became much better once we’d addressed this very basic thing.
