If you can get the locks done properly and neatly too like sisterlocks or something. Then why not? And if she grows up and wants something different or if after a few years, her hair softens then yea, you can cut off the locks and have about 1-2 inches of hair. But then again, there are many ways of making hard hair soft. Try using a lot of natural products (aloe vera, coconut oil, shea butter, olive oil etc). Try to google these things. And also watch the type of shampoo and conditioner you use. Try not to use petroleum based products too. And pls pls pls, do not relax her hair for anything. Biko I beg you. Please don't relax her hair. To ease the pain, you should comb her hair when its wet and try untangling it when you put the conditioner in. Don't comb it when its dry and after appying stuff to it, comb it gently in sections holding the bottom n combin from the tip first. Gently though |

Hi Danesikemi, I must say I find your post interesting especially as I have a daughter with quite long hair too - though she's just five months old. I am curious though, how did your daughter's hair get so tangled up? Here's the beauty regime I follow for my daughter daily which I'd like to share with you. This should help AFTER you've taken off the dreadlocks: ~ I usually start off by wetting her hair in the bath then use Johnson's Baby Detangling shampoo. Gently massage the hair with your finger tips for 2-3 minutes then rinse off thoroughly with warm water. ~ After her bath, pat her hair dry with a soft towel then apply some baby petroleum jelly and gently massage her hair and scalp. I use the Boots brand but Vaseline is just as good too. ~ Pour a few drops of baby oil onto your palms, rub them together then massage gently onto baby's hair and scalp (I use the Boots brand but any other oil say, Johnson's baby oil for example should suffice). I find this even helps her relax and she coos contentedly. (Maybe I need to charge that girl for my services sef) ![]() ![]() ~ Then gently comb her hair with a plastic (not wooden or metal o!) comb. Although I've not started plaiting her hair yet, you might want to do that for your daughter. Is this something you might be able to do on a daily basis? ***************************************************************************************************** I also found this on the web, perhaps this might help with loosening her locks without having to resort to shaving her hair. I've included the link for this bit further down. Good luck! ![]() ![]() 1. Try spritzing a detangling spray on baby's wet hair. Many detangling formulas offer slight conditioning properties that not only serve to lubricate the hair to help remove tangles, but also coat the hair with a mild ingredient that can prevent future tangles. 2. Gently work tangles out with a detangling comb, beginning at the ends of the hair. Starting at the top can lead to breakage of baby's delicate hair strands. Broken hairs have microscopic jagged ends that can lead to more tangling in the future. Being gentle preserves the strength of baby's hair strands. 3. Use a rinse-out conditioner whenever you shampoo baby's hair. These products protect the baby's hair from damage due to tangles, improper brushing and the environment. 4. Monitor baby's sleep surface and the carseat cover. Is the texture of these areas causing more tangles? You can lay a silky scarf over the back of the carseat if you believe it's the source of tangles. If it's baby's favorite blanket causing troubles, try laying a silky piece of cloth in the crib to lessen the friction. Tips & Warnings * Grown-up detangling combs have very wide teeth, but for baby's fine hair it's OK to use a smaller toothed comb. * As baby gets older, braiding the hair at bedtime can prevent tangles. * Keep detangling spray out of the eyes, it can cause irritation. http://www.ehow.com/how_2322195_detangle-babys-hair.html
