Not sure if this is any help, but years ago when I lived in Kenya the kids used liquid parrafin before brading to stop the hair going brittle and wirey.

dont just wash her hair in mayo....

it needs to be room temperature.......not cold out of the ice box...

saturate her hair in it......to the roots and leave on there about a half hour......cover her hair with a plastic grocery bag........

then rinse it really well........comb it out......and apply a light leave in conditioner........

let me know how it works out for you...

let me know how it works.............

ya the room temp. is a good idea...never did the grocery bag for 30 minutes thing..i think if done often enough she wouldnt have to,but who knows...mines always in my shower so i guess its always at room temp...

didn't know about the room temperaure thing, but her hair is softer now. Will leave it on longer next time, this time just washed it like shampoo, but was easier to brush after.

Where in Kenya did you live?



Where did they use paraffin?

Kitty, dreadlocks, that's the way to go.......

Get an african hairdresser, Kitty.





Seriously though, where i come from, small kids normally get braids, till they are old enough to have it permed.

there is a great conditioner called mixed chicks

my daughter is bi racial

its good stuff

may only be able to get it online tho

Her hair is not long enough for braids. It is growing real slow, and seems stuck to her head most of the time.

Ok. Then heed the advice of the parents with bi-racial kids. She'll be fine.

<<<<<Afro girl.

Wish I could talk with her relatives but her dad died last June and his family is all in Africa. She is the first one born in Canada.

Sorry about that Kitty.

African hair and bi-racial hair, aren't exactly alike. I would think african hair harder to manage (than bi-racial). I guess i may not understand the struggle it has been with her hair, as it's quite normal for us. A child's hair ( african) may be coarse, but quite easy to manage. It gets harder when they get older, i think.

When we were kids, we'd blow dry it for a little extra long time with grease in it. That definately helped!

With caucasian hair, i noticed, the blow dryer is used for only a few minutes. Hmm....don't do it with her this young though!

I'm sure you can find hair food, good enough for her, at this stage. Which products have you tried?

hi,kitty01,im half black,half white too,and she is too small to relaxe her hair,i advice you,if i may,too buy a good hair brush,a good shampoo,and aplly so much hair maskers als you can ,2 times per week if you can,but only natural maskers,because she is so little.

my grandma did it for me,now the brush my curls away at the hairdresser every week.


recept

1 eeg
2 table spoons of olive oil
1 lemon
mix all together
let it on the hair,for about 15 min

she used the mayo too.

and in the african hairdresser they can help you they have baby products too,they are beter for her.

i hope it help.

im looking for more tips,with grandma ,i let you know.

I was in a place called Raruoua firstly then in a place called Nyabondo.

nice one gina

yes olive oil is great
blanket over the pillow
also feeds the hair

yes bi racial isnt the same but that is dif
w/ every bi racial person as well

i suggested that conditioner mixed chicks because it washes out

paraffin? wow-no
sorry-doesnt wash out-attracts and holds dirt
seals hair tooo much
baby oil is a mineral oil which is petroleum-i never put petroleum anywhere near my body-personal decision
its petroleum-not meant for human consumption-

i bet you all wonder why i think i know about black stuff

haHA its a mystery innit??

yeah,who do you know dime,dime!!!
and you'r right,parafine,oh god,no,if you have really,coarse hair maybe ,but curls,are not course,and to a baby,no her hair still have to change texture,black hair,do change when you grow up,if you start useing the good care for it from now,you may be surprise,and of course it grow,slowly but it does.

not all black hair is the same.
don't do dreadlocks,you 'l be sorry,it wil break her hair,been there ,done that,i'm relaxed first time at 15,my father is white chinees,and my mother,is african,a real one,from angola,i know what i say,and the other girls will tell you the same,mayonaise,mskers,and patience,and a good hair brush.
