Hi I first got a kiddie perm when I was 10 years old and in the 5th grade. My mom used just for me. But as for your friend it depends on who did her perm (relaxer) and what she did to it after wards.

Relaxing hair before age 13 is not recommended because of hormone changes. Also, you have a good understanding of how to take care of your hair before relaxing it. However, if your mom finds it difficult to manage your hair, you may consider texturizing your hair with the BodipHier natural hair relaxer. Many mixed-race children have unmanageable hair. Texturizing the hair makes it more manageable and softer. The key to relaxing your hair is to keep the relaxer at least 褰?inch off the scalp at all times. If you think you can閳ユ獩 do this, you can apply petroleum jelly to the entire scalp before applying the relaxer or texturizer. This will protect the scalp from any irritation. Also, be careful not to apply the relaxer over previously relaxed hair.

you should wash his or her hair regularly, at least every five days or so(only because you play sports and your hair is going to sweat). Condition your hair and scalp with a light conditioner. Towel-dry your child閳ユ獨 hair, rather than using excessive heat. Make sure you have your hair trimmed regularly to keep it manageable and neat.

Also, you should wash your hair after swimming in chlorine pool water because it damages hair if left in too long.

`~I have a texturizer in my hair and it's like a kiddie perm but not really i'm 15 and my hair is curly/wavy i didn't want to loose that by making my hair permanently straight so what a texturizer does is it makes your hair more managable you still have to get a retouch just like a perm every six months and you will have to straighten it but it will be straighter and stay straighter longer.i've had a texturizer 4 about a year now and it is really good in my opinion. But if you dont want to use that than the next thing is a kiddie perm but whatever you do dont get an adult perm because it is to strong for u and for me but whatever you decide good luck~`

If I were you, especially because you're so young, I'd ask my mom to use vigoril on my hair. Ask your mom about it, she's probably heard of it.
