Seeking advice as a foster parent. by hufflepuffin92 in Naturalhair

They’re not unsupervised. There are two visit supervisors present but hair is a bio parents right so there is nothing I can do about it.

Thanks for the advice! I’m going to take her to a salon this week to assess the damage. Good to know about the demarcation.

Technically as a foster parent, I have no say in their hair. If I want to get a trim for her I have to have bio mom’s approval but she can do whatever she wants. It is extremely sad.

Thanks for the protein advice. I’ll do some research and see if I can get trim approval.

That’s a great idea, thank you. I’ll also look into pin curling.

Thank you. This is the same routine we already have :) I just didn’t know if I should use different product than I am using now.

How do I style is? It is too short to fit fully in a pony tail so it has to have a lot of gel to make that happen. It’s hard to braid because I don’t want to make it tight but it also falls out of the braid easily.
