WOW! Reading this really opened my eyes!! i went thru alot just to see what suits my daughters hair... then my sons hair since hub wants it to grow!!

atm i am in the middle east and i hope i can find some of those things here... i really want to try them now.....

To Kisha above me.... takes a while for it to curl up.... just wait till the hair grows.... im guessing all kids are different but my lil girls hair became curly curly at like hmmm when she was around 12 months or so.... if i remember correctly (",)

My daughter is over 4 months old... I've read all the tips for hair care but i also have a question....what age does their hair start to curl more. My daughter has what my granma calls.. Indian hair. Its long and straight. Its really so straight no one believes she is half African American. Even my Black girl friends question it. It's also really fine textured and thin. So I really question of how I should care for her hair since it seems to be the exact same as mine. Is it unusual for bi-racial children to have the thinner straighter hair?

My problem is that i'm a step-mom to 3 biracial girls. My husbands oldest daughter comes to our house all the time. My thing is that i get her hair pretty she goes back home and her mom don't do stuff with it and then she comes to my house and i have to start all over again. Her hair is really bad. She is 10 going on 11 and she will not even brush her hair. I go crazy every time she comes over.

I am the mother of a bi- racial daughter and I have tried many things on her. But it got to the point of me having to cut her hair off because I basically fried. But I have found the perfect product since that fiasco! It is called Hair Milk and is made by Carols Daughter. It is the most wonderful product. It is very light weight and very moisturizing and never greasy.

After you shampoo her hair,condition it and don't completely rinse the conditioner out. Buy a conditioner for "regular" hair. -OR - use coconut oil...just a dab..enough to give her hair a sheen. Apply it when her hair is still damp.....
Hope this helps.

My son is half black and half white as well...his hair texture leans more to fine, loose curls. I use Redken Fresh Curls (green tube). A little goes a long way so I apply a small daub to the palm of my hands and rub it into his hair...curls are then nice and tight, non greasy and give great moisture.

I have a 1.5 yo son that I just keep his hair cut low so it's wavy, not curly. I also have an 8 week old baby girl who's hair I don't have to do anything with as of yet. I'll take note of these products so that when she's a little older, I can try them out.

oh yeah i have tried mixed chicks and it works just as good as the pink lotion. i really couldnt tell no difference so to me they are the best out of the other stuff i have tried.

I too use Pink Lotion. If the regular is too heavy there is Pink Light as well. I also use TCB when I put her hair in a pony tail to smooth the fly aways. There is also a company called mixed chicks. I have not purchased it yet, but I plan on trying it. www.mixedchicks.net it has all the products.

Thank you all for your help. i will try these suggestions and get back w/ you. Luckily I am a non practicing licensed hairstylist. Basically this means hair products at wholesale cost. LOL.

Thanks again.

with here being bi racial here hair isnt going to be anything like either of your hair but she will need hair grease or a moisterizer like "Pink" by Lusters or a very light hair "TCB" grease place on her scalp once or twice a week before bed you can do this right afer a bath

okay girlie i know what your going though!!! not only is my daughter have the same texture of hair you are talking about but i also do to, so ive gone through the same stuggle for years. lately ive been using Redken product on both my daughter and my hair. ive been using the redken crystal curl for a styling product and it is a very nice lite gel that keeps the curls nice without being crunchy, or if you dont wanna use a gel use redken ringlet, its a cream texture that defines her curls without making them crunchy. as far as shampoo and conditioner wise ive been using the redken Fresh curls its amazing for curly hair!!! i use all kinds of redken products in the salon i work at and on my clients [i'm a liesenced hairstylist] and these are gonna be the best for her texture of hair. good luck and let me know if you have any questions :)

The thing about black hair is that it is suppost to have grease my dear. the great thing about black hair being greasy is that we don't get head lice. If you need to know how to take of her hair go to a Black beauty salon and they will let you know exactly how to take of her hair. They are familuar with bi-racial hair.
