we were not prepared for this either. we were fostering an AA baby boy, when it was discovered he had an older sister....so we got a call that basically said she is coming NOW. lol. the best thing we could think of was to take her to an AA salon. the ladies there did her hair SO cute and taught my dh alot of what he needed to know about her hair. after a week or so of practicing everything we had been told...we got into the swing of things and it was not hard at all. sometimes...i did send her hair things with her to her visit...but mostly because i know that for many children, this is a bonding time with their parent. her mom loved doing her hair, and i loved seeing new hairstyles i could try. i couldn't keep her little scarf on her head at night either....so by morning her hair was super messy and i had to do it every morning...although the goal is to NOT do this. i was just VERY careful and gentle to just restore the previous hair style...rather than to start all over. one important thing to remember is that AA hair is very prone to breakage.
