QuoteReplyTopic: My Beautiful Princess w/Bi-Racial Curls! Posted: February 01 2006 at 10:04pm
I have a Beautiful 4 1/2 year old Girl with very curly Bi-Racial hair. I'm just not sure if I'm styling it the right way. I've asked My husbands mother what to do and she says that I'm doing fine. I'm embarrassed to ask anyone outside the family, because people don't always approve. My daughter has gorgeous long(to the middle of her back when it's down)curly hair. She has a thing right now for headbands, but I very seldom let her wear them because her hair frizzes out when it's down. Right now I use Detangler to comb through it and Pink Oil lotion. I'm just not sure if there's anything that I should be using. My husbands clueless! If anyone can help me, it would mean the world to me. I try to to whatever I can for my girls, but this is hard because I just don't know! If you don't have advice but know of shop in the St.Louis area that would be understanding to the situation that would be Greatly appreciated also!! Thanks in advance
check out the african american forum , also www.longhaircareforum.com, www.nappturality.com and www.blackhairmedia.com . Hope you find some useful information but in the meantime- detangler is great but please eliminate the pink oil- that stuff is horrible for aa hair- maybe try natural oils such as coconut oil or sweet almond oil or palm oil. You can also use castor oil as a pre-shampoo treatment on dry hair- put a thin plastic cap on her and sit her under the dryer for 15-20 mins prior to shampooing. Good deep conditioners are Queen helene cholesterol or Lamaur's bone marrow.
Me and you, your cousin and your momma too rollin on da strip on bow's

i'm bi-racial also, and when i was little my momma had no clue what put in my hair. she also asked my other relatives what to put, and from when i was a baby to about 2 or 3 maybe, she just used a detangler and sometimes babyoil. then when i was 4 through about 8, she used a leave in conditioner called 'just for me' which is used for black little girls hair. but carameldiva is right, its better to use something natural, but if u can't i would recommend 'just for me' and know i'm useing a leaving conditioner called parnevou, and that works pretty good. But now i'm looking into buying some products that are ALL natural, handmade, and made especially for curly hair and more of bi-racial type curly hair, but anybody w/ curly hair could probably use them. go to blended-beauty.com. the woman who handmakes them is bi-racial and she's created a line of products that worked for her and other mixies, so i'm really excited to start using her products. hope i helped and good luck.

Hello! I am biracial and have went through it all with my hair. Like Sweetcandicurlz, I recommend you using a product made for biracial hair. I was turned onto CURLS by a friend and have used it ever since. On the website where I buy it from, I've seen they have a line for little ones. I buy from www.curls.biz Good luck!
