Need help keeping 4 yr olds Afro proud

[Shelley]

Hello! My gorgeous 4 yr old daughter has really curly, tight hair.i love it and want to keep it natural. It's very healthy and thick. Stretched out it is 3-4 inches long. I usually comb it out and put in a headband, but within a few minutes, her hair shrinks right back to her head. Are there any safe products to keep her Afro proud and not shrink? Thank you 😊 (Sorry about the pic being sideways 😕)

you mean to keep it stretched? You can keep it in twists, flat twists, mini afro puff. loose natural hair WILL shrink if left out.

She is adorable! I would have to agree with caomei. You may want to stretch it out using some braids or twists. Then it won't shrink up as much. Just make sure her hair is dry when you undo the plaits or twists; otherwise it will shrink back up.
