Hair help for black hair?

My 3yr old daughter has hair that has small corkscrews all the way down the hairshaft. It's extremely dry. If I put gel on it, it will look shiny and curly, but I don't like the way it feels and it's very drying. I was considering letting her wear her hair out to a wedding and I am trying to find a really good leave in conditioner and hair products for her to wear her hair out. Her hair is not kinky, but if it's brushed too much it will look that way because it'll be dry looking and puffy. I find that manipulating it with my fingers and a very wide comb is best. I've looked on many beauty sites for black hair and all the suggestions do not seem to work. I use Infusium 23 Leave In right now, and shampoo and condition with Pantene Relaxed and Natural. My daughter and I are both black, but her hair is like my husband's and totally different from mine, so I need a little help. If anyone has this hair type, what do you use?!?

try using some oil sheen on her hair, not too much you don't want it to look greasy, but just enough to make her curls look pretty. you could even try using Biosilk, it makes the hair nice %26amp; smooth, but you can only find it in salons or beauty supply stores.

I dont have this hair type but a friend of mine does and she uses hand lotion, just a small amount on her hair. She says this is the only thing that works for her.

I use Vive for Women of Color Shampoo/Conditioner sometimes, but mostly I use Nexxus conditioners. They are awesome, and with their use the dryness will decrease. Also, oils help, but they are very short term. Use something light, or make your own with tee tree oils and other ingredients. For her, I would recommend getting BBD Stretch, which is a leave in moisturizer/conditioner for dry hair. It helps the hair to retain the moisture and will help with the tightness.

you should try using Sun-Silk defrizzing Leave in, or try some of the Garnier Fructis moose, and leave-in.

i suggest that you try hair products for black children. my mother buys them for my 3 brothers... they all have different hair. the 12 year old's hair is really, REALLY thick and kinda spongy. the 10 year old's hair is really wavy and not as thick. the 8 year old's hair is really thick and more course than the other 2. my mother tries a lot of different stuff to find what works best. motions for kids is okay... i can't remember the one she has now but this stuff is okay for all types of black hair. i braid all of their hair twice a month and we like to do it in a timely manner... to blow dry after the wrong shampoo and conditioner could be a real big fight! don't be afraid to experiment to find what works best for your baby girl. as stylists and the people who work in the beauty supply stores near you... they have to know the products. good luck!

p.s. try not to use gel in your daughter's hair a lot... it could be damaging. my aunt uses something called "noodle head" to keep her hair soft and curly all day without using mousse or gel. i haven't tried it but she has told me more than once that it is a really good product. also, when using leave in conditioners, try not to use liquid ones... they tend to dry the hair out a little more than the "lotion" types.
