What brand do you use for your daughter? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/products-for-fine-kid-hair-8-year-old#post-2914317 Tue, 21 Apr 2020 19:29:40 +0000 Purpledaisy 2914317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 7 year old DD has such fine hair (I do too!). Dry shampoo is a must!! It helps give her hair some texture and not be so flat and stringy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/products-for-fine-kid-hair-8-year-old#post-2914293 Tue, 21 Apr 2020 14:20:42 +0000 MrsSRS 2914293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is probably pricier than you want for a child, but I had good luck with the Kevin Murphy shampoo for fine hair </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/products-for-fine-kid-hair-8-year-old#post-2914288 Tue, 21 Apr 2020 12:34:27 +0000 bhbee 2914288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@caitcat: ooh she might love those clips!

I also almost always kept the front of my hair clipped back at least on one side with a barrette or wore a headband to keep it from looking too stringy around my face. My mom also still jokes that that awful butterfly clip fad was the best thing that happened to my hair as a kid. Ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/products-for-fine-kid-hair-8-year-old#post-2914281 Tue, 21 Apr 2020 11:02:18 +0000 bhbee 2914281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Becky: I think shampoo may be the key! I am going to try a new one and see if it helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/products-for-fine-kid-hair-8-year-old#post-2914258 Tue, 21 Apr 2020 08:17:58 +0000 Becky 2914258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What shampoo and conditioner does she use? I started using Puracy on my girls recently and it is perfect. One has very soft, fine hair and the other has very, very thick hair. It rinses our really nicely and it doesn’t weigh their hair down. They are 6 and 4 years old and I let them both wash their hair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/products-for-fine-kid-hair-8-year-old#post-2914243 Mon, 20 Apr 2020 18:40:28 +0000 bhbee 2914243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 8 year old has fine hair that is also wavy. For school I always put the front in clips or braids to keep it out of her face, but at home she’s been wearing it down (because who cares?) but I feel like it needs help. It’s just the top/roots that are so flat and limp. She washes her own hair now and I’m not sure she gets all the shampoo out - we are working on that. She conditions only from about ears down to deal with tangles and waves. She is very anti washing every day and usually air dries. </p> <p>Any advice? Can fine hair look good if you aren’t blow drying daily? Products that might help? Since she likes it down I’d like to figure it out but maybe it’ll be when she’s older and more willing to “do” her hair. My hair isn’t this fine ... maybe it was at that age but I always had an 80s/90s perm and blowout! :silly: </p>
