" Hi, I am Liz Muller from Liz’s Hair Design in Hollywood, Florida and on behalf of expertvillage.com; we would like to welcome you. Today we are going to talk about hairstyles for young girls and we are going to start with something simple as de-tangling the hair. Long hair especially, you have to be very careful de-tangling the hair. And to get a good hairstyle when you de-tangle it, it makes it easier for you to work with it. So we are going to start with a comb that has wide spaces like this. If it rolls, it would be even better, so I am going to take the hair from the bottom and start our way up. We are going to start de-tangling very easily the bottom of the hair, coming up and continuing to de-tangle, holding the hair while you are brushing or combing down. We are going to continue to go all of the way up. Again, I am going to hold as I get a little closer to the top of the head that way the young girl will not be in pain and it will be easier for you to work with. Again just going like this. "
