she has the most beautiful hair in the world. although, of course myopinion is slightly biased. i striagten her hair, about twice a year, as i am worred about applying that amount of heat on it. yesterday, i got out my old curling tongs from the early nineties, and we had alovely lovely mummy daughter afternoon.
will it be terribly damaging if i got heated rollers, and put in curls slightly more frequently than twice a year for her? the rollers will hopefully be able to put in bigger curls, rather thant he tight little ones the tongs did.
or am i a very bad mommy?

it is dead anyway isn't it? Even if it damages what it there it will only get cut off anyway.

true, but it is just below her shoulders right now. silky, shiny, bouncy, full of health. will i damage all that if i use so much heat?
we also dont use conditioner much. and i would really like her to have long hari for a few years

my mum used to make me sleep in rollers with a pair if knickers over the top, when she wanted me to have curls - could you try this ?

( if it's lovely, why don't you just leave it ?)

You are not a bad "mommy" but why on earth start something like this so young? If you want nice waves, plait her hair when wet and undo in the morning.
