Topic: Interracial Curly Hair Posted: June 03 2005 at 11:20am
Hi I'm half black and half white. My curly hair is not quite the same as most. Is anyone else here interracial?

Hi. I am also interracial. I am half hispanic and half black, and yes our hair is different from most people. And sometimes it's hard to chose just the right hair products too.Well, I just thought I would reply.

When I made it a sticky, it was a quite decision. I wanted interracials to see I guess.
I'm wondering how many on doing that new 'no poo' thing. Not using shampoo and either using a cleansing conditioner or clay mask.

I do conditioner only, and I've been doing it for more than a year.

Do you use anything to remove build up like a mud mask or a cleansing rinse/conditioner?

I wouldn't let that mud mask go near your pretty head of hair! Clay is a drying and absorbent substance that will chip away at your cuticle as it dries.
A good vinegar rinse or a gentle clarifying shampoo is your best bet to get rid of buildup.
**Hair type: 2a, which is wavy and fine.
**Color: Naturally dark brown, currently dyed reddish brown.
**Length: below shoulder length

Well, I just use you know, regular moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Don't know if I would like the feeling of not being able to wash my hair. But it sounds interesting about those cleansing conditioners.

The mud mask I use doesn't dry because it has glycerin and other things in it. It only half drys but stays soft. It leaves a soft velvety feal.

The only product I use that can build up is Pantene, which contain silicones. I at least weekly do a rinse of 1/2 cup vinegar in a quart of water before washing to prevent buildup.

I am not interracial, but you don't have to be in order to have curly hair. So what do you mean when you say your hair is not the same as most, if you dont mind me asking? I know some really good curl products that work for me but I'm not interracial so I don't know if you'd be interested, but if you are just let me know.

I didn't mean only interracials have curly hair. It's a certain type of curly hair. It's not the same as normal curly hair usually. You'd have to be mixed to know what I mean.
I was just wondering who's out there doing the no poo thing. Most people use vinigar and I'm wondering if anyone has tried witch hazel.

Ok, well I guess I'm out. Sorry I couldn't help. Actually I am mixed, just not half and half. My hair is just curly, wouldn't know if it's normal or not.

Hair like mine is really dry and frizzy like afro hair but looser obviously and the curls are like cork screws. But I also can only comb it in the shower with conditioner in it and if I don't put a leave -in cream in it, it will be a giant puff afro. It's not sleak and silky like a lot of normal type curly hair. If you look at this page I am a CB.7 and I wish I was a CB.1

Means I have other races in my family bloodline. I guess in my view everyone (speaking for black people) is mixed with something because none of our roots are fully african so I consider myself black but I do have Native American and Caucasian in my family also. As far as me saying I'm mixed, yes I am but I'm not interracial which to me means having two parents of totally different races, which I do not have. Sorry for confusion, hope that helped.

Ok, that's interesting. I've never seen a hair type chart like that. I hope this dosen't sound dumb but I really don't know, is that chart only for biracial people? http://naturallycurly2.com/curl411/types.php <----This is where I got mine from. I didn't know they had a different one.

That one is too general and skips so many types that people have to say I'm inbetween this and that. The one I posted is for anyone who has the type of hair that is in that range. It's an add on to the old one. I don't know how that old typing system can jump from 2B to 2C like that. They are missing a huge number of people. I think its an ignorant chart.
