I'd certainly go straight to the source on this one!

Hi, Tina. There are several great resources out there. Two are "Kids Talk Hair" and "Thunderhead Hair Care" (a video), both available from http://www.cornrowsandcompany.com . Another is a book called "It's All Great Hair", available from Amazon.com. All of these give instructions about caring for hair, styles and braiding.

I have two aa daughters and took a class at my local community college (which teaches a cosmetology course) on braiding aa hair. It was great!!! Plus, I have taken the girls to local braiding places, and "picked" the brain of the woman who does their hair about products, and styles that I can do. She is more than willing to offer advice. If you find a salon that is reluctant to do that, or unwilling, find another, because someone out there will help if you are willing to ask. Good luck
