Reddit mentions: The best hair detanglers

I can't help you with the poses but I have some experience with the hair. I have hair that's all the way down my back right now. Do a tight french braid. If it's thick enough that a single one leaves a visible lump going across the top of your head do pigtail french braids. If you have an excessive tail left over, try doing a french braid crown like this: http://babesinhairland.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_2622E.jpg

For your wig, get some detanger to comb through it. It won't prevent all tangles but it'll help ease straightening it out again. When you're not wearing it, put it on a foam head and the head on a stand Some T pins will help keep it in place. During transport I've found it helpful to loosely braid the wig and put a hair net gently over it too.

Honestly, your son is so young and has yet have his first haircut, so I would say that you have no idea what his hair is going to be like when it comes in.


For instance, my son and daughter are mixed-race, with me being black and their father being Mexican/Native American.

When my daughter was born, her hair was bone-straight and it stayed that way for the first ~ year of her life. When she was born, she had so much hair that it laid over her ear - technically it was long enough to pull into small hairbands. Of course with it being as straight as it was, and since she was a newborn I didn't attempt to pull her hair up until she was ~ two months, & that was because her bangs would get in her eyes sometimes. Around the 12 month mark, her hair did start to curl a bit, though not in any defined way, though by the time she was three, she had cute little ringlets, which is pretty much the same hair pattern/texture that she has today. Her hair is what you would call 2c/3A. Everyone swears she looks like Alisha Boe from 13 Reasons why - I agree that they look like they could be sisters, and their hair texture/pattern is pretty spot-on similar as well. Another example of hair similar to her is Jennifer Nicole Freeman & this beautiful young lady's hair here - she actually kind of favor her as well.

My son was born with less hair than my daughter, though his hair had more curl to it - it almost reminds me of your son's hair. However, as he got older and after his baby hair went away - I cut it - his hair texture came in different than I expected it to. I assumed that since he was born with hair more curly than my daughter, his hair would be more like mine - more closer to being black. It's not. His hair is actually more 2B/2C like his hair or like his hair - fascinatingly enough, this little boy kind of reminds me of my son a bit - he's 11 years old now.


I've explained all of that to you to say that, I have never been able to use any products that you would customarily consider to be black hair products in either of their hair since their hair produce oil - as does mine I've figured out even though my hair is 3B/4A between her and her hair. Moreover it turns out that my son's hair, which I thought would need more product because it seemed like it when he was a baby, needs even less product than both mine and my daughter's. His hair seems to be incapable of tangling and he wears it about the length as the guy and boy in the photos. If he's feeling extra perky he might decide to put a little bit of anti-frizz product in his hair, and pretty much any product will due. However, when he was a still younger, just like when my daughter was still a pretty young - she's 15 now - the only product I would used in their hair was Johnson & Johnson No More Tangles - that's it.

Sometimes we as parents try to do too much to our children's hair instead of just allowing it to just be. He's young. His hair is curly. It's going to look messy. It might feel dry to you, but I wonder if it is actually dry, or are you just mistaking the feel of his texture for being dry because you're used to the way your hair feels. I know that my hair feels nothing like either of my kids hair, and all of our hair is healthy. Moreover, none of our hair is dry. And the only finishing products I use in my hair are leave-in conditioner, a little almond or apricot oil, and sometimes - rarely- a bit eco-styler gel - it's weather/season dependent.

E: I have a migraine and when I have a migraine, my dyslexia rears its head and I can't spell. If I completely butcher the spelling, my computer catches it because it's not a word. However, when I misspell a word with another word, my computer doesn't catch it and then I have words like "these" for "this", "freeze" for "frizz", and "there" for both "their" & "they're" etc. Please excuse the mistakes.

This brush is my favorite brush for brushing wigs!


You want to use something with plastic bristles that will bend against the plastic wig fibers instead of just straight up breaking them to get through like a metal bristled brush would. For detangling anyway.

When brushing, start at the bottom with little motions and slowly work your way up. And be gentle so you don't break the wig fibers, that can make it more frizzy.

Also I use mane-n-tail detangler too! It's for horses but lots of wig stylists recommended it! Linky

Also soaking in fabric softener can help restore frizzy ones too.

And if all else fails, and you know the wig is heat resistant, you can use a steamer to brush out and straighten it, and then recurl it.

This is what I use BEFORE the shower, sorry! Sometimes i detangle in the shower with a wide-tooth comb, but my hair is so long and thick I dont have the patience for it lol. I shower every day too but I dont mess with shower caps because I don't like showers if i cant get my head wet lol . these days I just get my hair wet with water and air dry. It definitely doesn't look ~as good~ but I normally have my hair up in a bun or something 99% of the time :/

I also want to second the suave naturals conditioner. It's cheap and effective -- I've found the coconut one (for me at least) is the best at getting out knots.

I would only comb her hair (wide tooth comb) when it is sopping wet.

I had a lot of tears with my hair as a kid and one thing that really helped was a spray called "no more tangles". I think it's mean for kids and might just be a spray conditioner (not sure). I don't know if it's Curly girl, but it was the only thing that my mom could put in my hair to get me to let her brush it.

got one of these when my beard was longer, and it worked wonders.

I'm a guy with long hair. I used to have a problem with frizzy and damaged hair until a girlfriend helped me with it. Here are the things she taught me:

• Keep the split ends trimmed.
  
• Do not use cheap shampoo and conditioner. (I use Pantene and also Ojon.)
  
• A good spray in conditioner / detangeler can help. I like Ojon for this.
  
• If you use a towel to dry your hair, never "scrub" your hair with it. This is really damaging. (I didn't know this for a long time and really noticed a change in my hair when I stopped doing it.)
  
• If you use a hair dryer keep it at a low or medium heat and concentrate on the hair closer to the scalp. Never use high heat.
