Hi, I have an adopted daughter of 2.5 years old. Her hair used to break sometimes, but lately I have regularly got a really big clump of hair. You also see more and more very short pieces in her hair. Do you perhaps have any advice for me on how I can prevent this. I use no oil moisturizer from the brand pink for her.

Hi,
I strongly suspect that your daughter's hair has been relaxed. That means that her hair has been defrizzed using a chemical agent known as relaxers. These so-called beauty products are not good for adults and should definitely not be used on children's hair. The fact that 73% of black women suffer from hair breakage and hair loss is due to relaxers.
So first of all I would throw away all the chemicals that they have pushed on you to use on your baby's hair. Especially if there is a relaxer in there, but you can also throw away the pink oil.
If all goes well, you will see new hair growth under the clumps that are falling out. That should be nice healthy frizzy hair. If you don't see any new hair growth, then it is even more serious and I would refer you to the dermatologist. Assuming that the hair has been able to recover, I recommend cutting off all the other clumps so that you can get to know your child's natural frizzy hair.
To learn how to deal with frizzy hair, you need to know that it is completely different from smooth hair. For example, a braid stays in place naturally in frizzy hair without the need for a hair tie to prevent it from coming loose. With smooth hair, that is impossible. A braid unravels without a hair tie. That is how fundamentally different the hair types are.
For the time being I would keep it super simple to let the hair completely recover and grow. You can order the Going Natural Herbal Shampoo , Deep Conditioner , no more knots and the Silky Shea Hair Butter to care for the hair for the time being. The Going Natural Herbal Shampoo and Deep Conditioner , weekly before washing, the No more knots to comb it out and the Silky Shea Hair Butter to keep the hair soft. In case you didn't know, you don't wash frizzy hair every day and you certainly don't have to comb it every day.
The shop now also has the loc glove with which you can create beautiful curls for your daughter in no time.
