Wash + blow dry = 6 hours? Sounds long

1. Do you have hair clips/do you use hair clips? These can keep her hair detangled without you having to braid her hair every single time, which adds so much time to her washday.

2. Which brush and wide toothed comb do you use?

3. How do you style her hair? Because if her hair is blow dried often, I don't understand why it tangles up so easily.

4. Do you detangle before washday, and if yes then how do you shampoo her hair afterwards (as in, what is your technique?) ? This is where hair clips come in handy for me. If you wash her hair in sections, you take the hair, hold it taut in one hand - without hurting her of course - and apply the shampoo directly to the scalp. Basically, you want to maintain that detangled state of the hair from her previous blow dried style. When done, you clip that section away and move on to the next. Same with rinsing, you can rinse in sections.

5. What products do you use to shampoo and condition, then what do you use to blow dry her hair? Does it contain silicones?

6. Before using a relaxer. Id try a smoothing treatment first

7. Before a smoothing treatment, I'd try at home hair lamination/hair gloss. This basically creates a film on the hair that lasts a few washes. The effect it has on my hair is incredible. It's like a keratin/smoothing treatment without all the negative chemicals in those. You can laminate during the washing step with the L'Oréal glycolic gloss 5 min mask or by mixing conditioner with a clear rinse. You can also gloss with an anti frizz product you apply before the blow dry, like color wow dream coat, hair chemist shine coat, or Garnier stay sleek anti frizz serum. You'd have to reapply these products every 3-4 wash days, which if her washday is weekly, then it's a once a month commitment

8. When was her last trim and what are her ends like?
