Hi gals, hoping some of you who might have thin hair can help me out. My 10-year-old daughter has thin, straight hair and a lot of it. It tangles if you look at it wrong. It tangles while I’m brushing it, for crying out loud. She prefers to wear it down which doesn’t help, and she loves to swim which also doesn’t help. To me, it feels dry and brittle, especially after swimming and even after letting conditioner sit on it in the shower for a while. After spending 20 minutes brushing it out last night after a day in the pool and a long shower, I told her I at least need to braid it before swimming, but that’s not gonna solve it 100% because her flyaways at the top of her head are still gonna tangle; it’s insane. Anyone have any products or techniques that you swear by to help combat this issue? We go through an awful lot of leave-in conditioner but I feel like it’s just a bandaid to a bigger issue. Thanks in advance!

I haven’t tried one specifically for swimmers. We were doing mostly okay during the winter with it not being totally dried out, but now that the pool is back on the menu, I’m quickly remembering the end of last summer when it was a complete disaster. I have Sally’s where I am so I’ll see what I can find there, thank you!
