What type of perm can i use in my 13 year old african-american daughters hair?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Seek a professional: I would recommend only professional grade relaxers. Mizani, affirm or optimum. The key is not to apply directly to the scalp and apply an appropriate base to protect the scalp. I do not recommend "kiddie" perms as the relaxing agent in those do more damage.
