Question about DD hair---breakage

Bliss · 01-09-2007, 01:06 PM

My DD is 6...she has long hair that is pretty thin and has been having problems with breakage around the front/top and sides of her face (her hair is straight but I figured Id ask here anyway)...back is fine

she only wears it in a ponytail 1x a week for ballet (and we put it up with a gentle elastic...not metal etc)

Usually she leaves it down, puts a small clip in the front so it doesnt hang in her face for school (no teeth in it...just one of those 1 piece snappy kinds) or she wears a cloth covered headband. She alternates what she has in her hair but it doesnt seem to matter....still gets breakage. I can't braid it b/c the parts in the front are all too short now :/

Any ideas what I can use on it to strengthen and prevent breakage? Her nutrition is good so its not happening b/c she eats poorly. I have to figure out something b/c its really bothering the both of us (she ends up looking like Bill the Cat LOL)

Are you sure it's breakage and not just new growth? Whenever my daughter or I get new growth it sticks up and looks all unkempt...and it's always around the front and top.

yep, definitely breakage...she does have new growth but its different. This is longer and looks different
