Q: My daughter is 9 years old. She has blonde naturally wavy/curly hair. It is very odd. In the front top layer it looks straight and then as the hair goes back it gets curlier and kinkier. It is very dry and repels moisture. Alos, it has a lot of frizz. She is white, but she almost has the texture of an African American’s hair. Her hair does not ever get oily though. We have tried every product on her hair. (So it seems) I am getting very exasperated and her self esteem is dwindling. The girls at school are not so nice to her no matter how hard she tries to fit in. She thinks it is because she looks unkept all of the time because of her hair. Her hair reminds me of surfer hair or maybe even Janis Joplin hair. Do you have any suggestions on how I can help her? I wouldlove to embrace her waves and curls, but I will straighten it if I have to. Thanks!
A: I’m most excited about this question, because THIS is the essence of Discoveringhair. I just partnered with a company today that might be the answer to your prayers! Check out Curls. They are an ethnic hair care company whose purpose is to deliver quality products that cater to the unique needs of today’s multi-ethnic market. It is the first line of hair care products truly created specifically for biracial/multiracial women and girls with naturally curly hair. Interestingly enough, they have a GREAT article on Biracial Curly Hair Tips. By FAR the most informative information I could find online.
Best of luck!!
