I'm a single dad of a bi racial child (asian/black). My daughter's hair is very curly. When I comb her hair in the morning, I spray it with water or a detangler and put it in a pony tail. Obviously, I need to learn other styles, but when I pick her up from school, her hair is all over the place. What kind of products can I use to make her more softer and manageable?
Bi racial hair? This website should help you. http://www.treasuredlocks.com/biracial-h...
Bi racial hair? You could try a leave in conditioner spray ..like Aussie
Bi racial hair? put a moisterizing hair lotion in her hair. Also curl tamers work really well. plus practice braiding
Bi racial hair? Motions for kids is a great line of products for any type of african american hair. its what i use on my daughter. That and Redkin Shampoo and cond.
Bi racial hair? cholesterol treatments
coconut oil
castor oil
biolage shining milk
joico kpak line products shampoo and conditioner
a wide tooth comb to comb her hair when its wet
never brush when its dry
small elastics to make little ponytails u can braid them or take a small section and twist it to make cute twisties
their is a pic of my daughters hair on my blog after i braided her hair
Bi racial hair? use a hair straightener and then after that lightly wet it to make it stay. To be extra safe you could use a all day conditioner after that or hair spray.
Bi racial hair? Children's hair is very tricky. You don't want to use a lot of different products in her hair. I would suggest wearing it in a lot of pony tails. I would say atleast 20-25. You can plait them and put pretty barrettes on the end of them. I have a daughter that has the same type of hair and when I pick her up it is still the same except for the occassional missing barrette.
Bi racial hair? pantene conditioner.
Bi racial hair? My sisters hair is like that (wish i had it too, lol) and my mom had a hard time keeping it together as well. The best thing to do is to go to a hair salon and have them do it and ask what to do to keep it nice. Water is never a good choice for mixed race hair in my experience with my sister, its like a quick fix, lol. Pressing combs work to keep it straight. Stay away from perms, could damage it. But your best bet is a pressing comb and a flat iron, used with a little bit of oil sheen. Wash, blow dry, then flat iron works for my sister. Just remember it should be good for a few days, heat on the hair everyday is BAD.
Hope this helps, but you should try a salon, probably with a black stylist.
Bi racial hair? here's the catch every ones hair is different....my friend uses palm made (a little goes a LONG WAY!) and it's beautiful her hair stays all day it also worked for mine which was amazing because i have flat straight hair that never stays but with this stuff it did....or any of the bed head products they all seem to work very well! best of luck to you! oh PS try braiding her hair too it's not too hard i promise!
Bi racial hair? Suave Kids Smoothers 2 in 1 Shampoo (it comes in 3 different scents, have your daughter choose her favorite), Suave Kids Go Go Grape Conditioner when she takes a shower. Then when her hair is still wet spray it with Suave Kids Awesome Apple Detangling Spray and gently comb out the ends. Then in the morning spray her hair with the detangler again and put her hair in a ponytail.
All of these products work amazingly to detangle and smooth out hair to make it soft and manageable. You can look at the products here:

Bi racial hair? When my daughter was growing up, we started using Johnson%26amp;Johnsons No More Tangles detangler spray. I used a regular hair brush (with bristles) and sprayed her hair when it was wet. Then I put a part in it (if the hairstyle needed one), then I made separations in the hair and twisted her hair. You take two sections and use the brush as you twist them around each other. I twisted all the way to the ends (which were usually quite damp with the spray) and then let the hair dry. Her hair stayed twisted all day and would only need a touch up for the next day. She does her own hair now and still wears it twisted sometimes. Another thing you can do is take her to a black hair salon and get her hair done in "Twisties"%26gt; These are twists close to the head. If your daughter is like mine, braids won't hold, so you have to find an alternative. At times with my daughter, we used "Pink Lotion" but the regular kind was too heavy for her hair. There is a lighter version that we used from time to time. Her grandmother (white grandmother) used V05 about once a week in her hair, but we did not use it every day.
There is a conditioner that you can find at WalMart. It is green (because it has Aloe in it) and comes in a jar. It's a really good conditioner to use (not too heavy for mixed hair). I found it online, it's called "Lustrasilk Cholesterol Creme Conditioner Super Detangling Formula w/Aloe Vera" and you can get it at WalMart in the black hair care section. The only problem I think you might face is helping your daughter condition her hair. When my little one was about 4 and 5, she had almost waist-long hair (when it was wet). We either had to wash/condition her hair in the shower (which she hated and which usually SOAKED me!) or the tub. When I'd lay her down in the tub to get her hair wet, it was so heavy that she couldn't lift herself up - I had to lift her! :) When she was 6, she got her hair cut for the first time to shoulder length. Now she keeps it at shoulder length and most of the time wears large braids (which she does herself).
Keep asking for help. I always found people willing to assist. :) Good luck!!! :)
Bi racial hair? Other styles are picktails and braids and buns well go to a hair store and but no frizz gel or spray
good luck!
Bi racial hair? Rather than pulling it back into 1 ponytail, you might have more luck with creating a number of ponytails and braids. Smaller sections of hair tend to hold better than 1 big one.
Try middle parting her hair and work with 1 side at a time. Collect about 2 inch width of hair at the front/top of her head down to her ear. Pull that tightly into a band that lies against the top part of her head (remember, you are working with 1 half of her head that you middle parted). You can braid this if you want. Otherwise gather all the hair on 1 side much like you do when making her pony tail and make a braid either towards the side of her head or towards the back. Make the braid as tight as you possibly can with each cross over of the braid.Tie the bottom tightly with hair elastic. Repeat the same for the other side of her head. Keep in check each side must be even to the other, so make sure she keeps her head still and looking straight ahead if you can.
If you are no good at braiding, you can make a similar effect by simply tying an elastic then on that same ponytailed piece, an inch down from the elastic tie another one. Then an inch further, tie another one and so on.
It is so difficult to provide written instruction.
Your best bet is to ask a family member from the black side of her family, or anyone black for that matter to show you a simple yet effective hairstyle you can confidently recreate each morning. If this is not possible, consider taking her to hairsalon (Cheap Cuts even, it will only cost a few dollars and may be worth it). Make sure the hairdresser is black too if you can. No one knows hair better than the hair you have yourself I believe. And ask them to show you a style.
Trust me. Anyone you ask to help you with your daughters hair will bend over backwards to help if they can.
The fact you are a single dad responsible for styling your daughters hair each morning - that very thought alone, is one the most beautiful things imagineable if you ask me. Even your question touched my heart, to read of the loving bond between father and daughter is absolutely priceless.
What an amazing father you are.
All the best for you and your little girl.
Bi racial hair? I have a bi-racial daughter as well and have struggled with this too. I have tried DOZENS of different products and I like the Just for Me line the best. They have a two in one shampoo, and I top that off with a Pantene conditioner. They also have a detangler I use on her after her bi-weekly hair washing(another thing I learned, not to wash her hair more than twice a week unless necessary). They also have a pink lotion that I put in her hair when dry, before I pull it back into a pony tail. The most convenient thing is to keep her hair in braids, now that it is longer, the braids can stay in for up to two weeks without looking messy. I've tried to do them myself, but she won't sit still for me. I'm lucky and have a daycare worker that braids it for me, but if I didnt' have her, it would be worth a trip to the salon once a month to have it done.
From what I've found its a lot of trial and error. I have asked advice before and have found that products that others have referred me to I didn't like for one reason or another. Its also a matter of taste, I've tried products that I just didnt' like the smell, or "residue" that they leave on her hair. But so far the Just for Me line works well, smells nice, etc.
Good luck:-)
Bi racial hair? Is her hair tightly curled? You will need to put some type of oil in it...it will dry out and frizz out and be everywhere...
Is it loosely curled? You could get a product like frizz ease...you can buy it at the grocery store (where the hair products are) or drug store..
Get a wide toothed comb. You could put it in quarters, like 4 apart, and comb through it gently.
A detangler is a start but it has alcohol in it and long term use will make her hair dry out and be frizzy.
Wash her hair every 3 days with a moisturizing, protein conditioner...
There is so much to say, and I could give you more specific products, but I wish I had some indication of her hair texture..
My father and aunt are both part black, part Asian...my hair is a bit straighter than theirs but only because my mom's hair is straight...she looks white...my sisters and I all have varying textures and it depends on the texture what you use...
My daughter's hair is very curly (tightly curled) like her father's...
Tell me in edit what kind of texture she has...
Bi racial hair? hair gel
Bi racial hair? I am 21 and biracial (black/white) and just learning to care for my natural hair. Because I couldn't control it I would straighten it ( with a chi-iron, the only thing that works). I'll tell you what products I use (and I've tried bookoos, with biracial hair you have to do trial and error). Right now I wash my hair with Pantene for women of color, i deep condition (ALWAYS!) with Pantene intensive repair creme( in a white squeeze tube), and I part it in four even plats, i use lots of optimum therapy leave-in oil moisturizer on each section. one plat at a time,I comb through with a big tooth comb and then follow up with a smaller tooth comb. I then braid the plat as neat and tight as I can without hurting or breaking the hair. After I braid the four braids I let them air dry until the next day(I usually do this before I go to bed.) take it down in the morning and she will have GORGEOUS ringlets as opposed to extremely curly, hard-to-comb-through, unmanageable hair.I get LOTS of compliments.You HAVE to keep moisture in her hair, that's VITAL. You notice how pretty it is when it's wet and conditioned? If you find the right products it can look like that ALL the time and you can manage a lot more styles. If her hair is conditioned correctly you won't care what it looks like because that's one advantage of being biracial, even if our hair isn't combed correctly, with the right products it still looks like "good hair". Check out these websites for additional info. They specialize in biracail hair.

Bi racial hair? Try cholesterol, perm, a hot comb,or maybe some royal crown grease. Or you could try doing it at the same time it might help but you should only do it about once every one or two weeks. Oh and also you could try braid it to lock moisture and such in and olive oil spray will help too i think.
Bi racial hair? leave it natural? idk
Bi racial hair? Mhmm.
Water is a big no for mixed hair.
But try gel. Or Pantene's Pink
Moisturizing Lotion. [[Pink Bottle]]
And try wrapping her hair with
a satin wrap at night to lay it down.

Bi racial hair? i know a girl n my class JUST like that we call her nay nay.I think she said her parents use Pink(brand of hair lotion) and that seems to help.
Bi racial hair? gell,grease,NOt the flaky kind though,mixed with water,vaseline(thats hard to get out though)hair spray,ect.
Bi racial hair? my sisters hair was the same way . she goes to school and it looks perfect and comes home and it looks like poop.one day i went to the hair salon with my sister and they taught me how to do her hair.what you do is you start out with wet hair.lets say you want it in a pony tail.brush it back with a hard bristle brush, then put on a hair band.use a comb and go over the hair again while it is still up in a ponytail.spray some hair spray on the hard bristle brush and go over the ponytail.take out the ponytail and comb it again with a comb. finish it off with leave in conditioner.straighten the bottom
hope i helped
Bi racial hair? I can barely do my own hair but I have biracail nieces and nephews. I suggest you take your child to a salon that caters to african american. They can help leart how to "do" her hair and the best products to use.
Bi racial hair? Carol's Daughter makes wonderful products for African/Biracial hair types.
Bi racial hair? you use all black hair care products, like cream of nature shampoo no alcohol, however, use products with no alcohol and you might want to get her a perm. Take her to the beauty shop so it will be straight and more manigable
Bi racial hair? it seems to me that the problem is that you feel her hair is unacceptable the way it is and you are trying to make it conform to how you think hair should be. cut it shorter to make it more manageable. excessively treating the hair as if it is a 'problem' i don't think is the right method. your expectations of her hair may not match the hair she was born with. love and accept it. that's my advice.
my stepdaughter has 'bi-racial hair' and so i've been through some of this. acceptance is the best method. trying to make it conform to what you think hair should be will not ever work. because it isn't that kind of hair.
Bi racial hair? Water is definitely not the answer!!! It will make it poof by the end of the day. Ask one of your Black Female friends (with daughters) in your area who her hair stylist is. Take your daughter to a salon that specializes in Black Hair and ask for help. This way a hair specialist can actually see her texture and show you what to do. Don't let them perm it!!!! Maybe press it though just to make it more manageable for you until she can do it herself.
There are so many different textures of hair among people of color, therefore a million different products work for a million different people %26amp; its difficult to know what works for her. Some people wet their hair daily.... this is a disaster for others. Friz Eaze works for some..... not for many. Take her to a salon that Black women recommend to you %26amp; see what they can do for you.
If they do her hair %26amp; it is manageable for you- take your daughter there every two weeks.
Go Single Dad!!!!
