How can I be a better friend?

How can I tell my friend that she should buy better shampoo for her little girl?

  • My best friend's little 6-year old girl has nice long hair, and it used to be very shiny and pretty. Well, lately, it is just dead. It has no shine, like most little children's hair her age. I know her hair could be so much prettier. But my friend brags about using $2.00 shampoo. I suspect that this is the problem! I know that she can afford to get at least a $6 or $7 shampoo, that would be so much better. But how do I tell her? I can't just say, "Hey, your girl's hair looks awful! Switch shampoos for crying out loud!" How can I casually bring it up without hurting her feelings?

  • Answer:

    We use suave and it has my kids hair shiny and mine too. In reality it is probably not the shampoo she is using but maybe the kid isn't doing a good job of washing her own hair or maybe it is nutrition and not the shampoo. I would be more likely to blame either of those then the shampoo. The mom maybe trying to get her daughter to wash her own hair if she is 6 and the girl just doesn't have the hang of it yet or isn't washing it when she says she is she is just getting it wet. My daughter does that and she just turned 8 but I can tell when her hair doesn't look good I say " you didn't really wash your hair did you?" then she will admit she didn't.

Good lord, maybe she can't afford the shampoo. Buy her a bottle, tell her something like it was such a good deal I ended up buying too much. Be careful, sounds like money is tight, especially if she's bragging about how little it costs. There are more important things then how a six year old girls hair looks.

Mind your own business.

If you're not close enough to your friend to just out and say it, I don't think it is really any of your business to begin with.

Get some for her for an occasion coming up and see if she likes it, Everytime you see the girl compliment the hair and say, "Wow it really does work, and it is only $7 bucks, what a steal, I knew she'd like it, it looks even prettier then the other girls." A little bit of everything in a polite sentence. If she doesn't take the hint well then it's her kid, she'll do what she pleases.

It's probably not the price of the shampoo, it's probably the fact that she has used the same kind for too long. When you use the same kind for a prolonged period of time, it causes build-up and that leads to losing shine, and hair feeling coarse. Tell your friend this, and encourage her to try a different (maybe more high end) brand for just one week each month. There will be a big difference.

are you sure it's not nutrition? I always use $2 shampoo and my hair's pretty shiny and healthy, even when it's long.

Why don't you pick up some shampoo when you go shopping, & tell your friend that there was a sale & you got two for the price of two, & that you thought you'd share it with her. Actually, Suave is a good shampoo to use also. I swear by Pantene ProV shampoo, that has conditioner in it. It cleanses well & makes the hair shiny too. The little girl needs to have her hair brushed well each day also.

You don't For whatever reason your friend is using the shampoo. I can't imagine how in any way shape or form it is your business.

There are expensive shampoos that are still crap.
