When I straighten my hair with a dryer and round brush - that's what I use and my hair is so silky. Natural heat protection.
I don't know if they have it where you are - but if I air dry - I use an instyler to smooth it. That might work well on your daughter's hair as opposed to Sundays of my Aunt Boot with her hot combs! My mom was okay with an electric hot iron but she was too nervous for the combs on the stove.
When she was here this past Thanksgiving and saw me using it on my overnight dried hair she was so mad she didn't invent it 35 years ago. Ahh - she did killer basket weave and French braids on me though!
