If it can change, can anyone give me their experience of when their kid's hair changed? I need to prepare myself to take better care of her hair than I do of my own! I have read with interest the product suggestions in the other thread. TIA

You never know how it will be. My older daughter had soft baby hair-which changed over to the current texture (which is much curlier) by the time she was 2. I take her to have it blown dry & straightened with a flat iron every other week. It's very healthy hair. My baby daughter is almost 17 months and came home with very curly, dry, course hair. It has to be conditioned regularly and is very hard to comb unless it wet and conditioned. When Maire-Kate was 17 months old, I didn't have to braid her hair. But with Hanna, I have to braid her her hair to keep it from becoming tangled.
