Happy Friday all! I hope you've had a good week and are looking forward to the weekend ahead! As you may be able to relate, when your child is young, you are most likely to be the sole hair caretaker for their hair. But as they grow older, especially during their teenage years, they can become more experimental. Do you find that your teen daughter keeps straightening her hair? Well, in this post, I
suggest a few tips to help encourage your teenager to try more natural hairstyles.
The Journey
As a parent myself, I have been the natural hair caretaker for my 14-year-old's hair. And I have seen her hair flourish throughout this time.
The experimentalism stage usually kicks in around teenage years. And if they have afro/ curly hair texture and want to achieve the straight look, the dreaded GHD type flat iron/straighteners are usually the tool used for this.
Lack of Knowledge
Unfortunately, most children using straighteners won't be using heat-protective spray. They tend to be more focused on the desired look. This means they are literally FRYING their hair. If they do choose to do this, hopefully, you can convince them to do it with less frequency, make sure they are at least using hair protectant spray prior to using straighteners - or any kind of heat! Hopefully, you can persuade them to straighten their hair, less through...
Tutorials
Watching a few YouTubers who have tutorials of hairstyles, such as simple twist-outs. You could even take her to a hair salon and ask the hairdresser to show her a few creative styles. You could also check out our kids protective hairstyles post for some inspiration.
My daughter has started her own YouTube channel where she shares simple advice for pre-teens and teens on how to maintain their natural hair. We also share tips on our Root2Tip hair channel
Sometimes when you show a strong-headed teen that their peers are embracing the natural texture of their hair, without damaging it, it’s all the motivation needed.
I hope these tips prove useful for helping to encourage your teen to embrace more styles with their natural texture.
Wishing you a wonderful evening and keep tuned in to the blog for a special offer this weekend!
My daughter has very frizzy hair , she is mix raced and I found it difficult to find any product that would make her hair curly and soft . I have tried everything and nothing was doing what it promised . I found most products would sit on top of her curls and her hair would be full of frizz shortly after . When I received root2tip bundle I had little hope it being different . How wrong was I !!!! I don’t think I can complement this products enough !!! My girl frizzy hair are gone , she now has beautiful curls full of shine and softness . The honey rain juice and heavens hair milk are excellent. Shampoo and conditioner are fab also . I finally found hair care products that work wonders on my little girl hair. Thank you root2tip !!!!
Great product, online information needs an update.
Used Root2Tip products now for the last 5 years and they have been great.
Recently I placed an order for this product and wish I had read the review first.
As usual placed my order for the pot of Sunlight Curl Creme 150ml but when my parcel came it was a refill pouch off 100ml but still for the same price of the pot.
I have no complaints about the product as it’s is great but would have like to have been informed when ordering or even on the website that the size of the product has changed.
Coming back to this protein treatment is one of the best decisions I have made for my hair and you do feel the difference straight after use! My hair is so soft and fortified after, bouncy. I love it and the smell I love also no over powering perfume! I hope a double size refill is considered for the future it would be great in reducing waste!
