What a cutey you were – say I think I had a dinky (what we used to call those little bikes) just like that one.

Keep posting and if you want anything technical done to your blog let me know.

I don’t use actually use shampoo. Most girls with curls are better off to only condition their hair. If your daughter does use a lot of product and needs to shampoo her hair, then its best to use it on the root of her hair only. In lieu of products, you can also leave conditioner in her hair which is something that I also do. It’s all trial and error and if I can do a blatant product endorsement, you’re better off with a once off purchase of ‘Curly Like Me’ which explains this all better than me and it’s less than the cost of a hairdresser’s appointment!

Great article but can you recommend a reasonably priced product range for the early teen market to control those curls. I too spend a fortune on my daughters out of control mop and sometimes hairdressers can see me coming and I end up purhcasing very expensive products that do very little. Look forward to your advice.

Love your article about the curly hair symdrome. Keep up your great articles as they always put a smile on my face.
