Two of my girls have curly,curly hair all the way to their roots. They have always used moose and spritz and let it go natural. People cannot believe it is natural. Me either if you wanna know the truth. They have both cut their hair now to shoulder length and still curly. So have fun and enjoy the curly hair and help her decide how she wants to play. Try everything. Mine even tried straightening it. Shame on them to iron their hair. Those who have straight, want curly, and vice versa.
