So my daughter is half black and half white and I have hit a speed bump with her hair ...90% of it is more black then white hair type (like a heartbeat away from being as course and thick as a full black childs hair) Now that its getting long (maybe 2 in) its more apparent I need to start a hair regimen of some kind due to the fact when she wakes up she has baby dreds lol and constant tangles. I was suggested Tigi curlesque line which im trying out but with it being 15$ for a 12oz bottlefor shampoo and conditioner I dont see it as practical for when her hair is longer...what are yalls tips and tricks?

    My kids are biracial but they have white hair type just very curly . I use the Shea moisture baby wash an shampoo an the Shea moisture restorative conditioner then the Shea moisture creme/hair lotion it gives nice curls an makes it really soft there 10$ a piece but the shampoo Is a body wash an a shampoo it only take a tiny bit cuz it lathers up really good an lasts me along time even wit 3 kids . I use this becuz its all organic. sallys has sum stuff for kids also.

    Ive been using the pink lotion in the black secrion of sallys but its too heavy for her hair...do you get the shea line at sallys?

    No I get it at Walgreens. The baby shampoo/body wash is n the baby section an the conditioner an creme is n the adult section if u decide to try it .

    Yea that's y i changed to that I didn't want any chemicals. The creme is thick but my baby's have fine thin hair an it still does great . I wet there hair before I put it on an put on after there baths . I tried pink lotion on my son wen he was little an it was way to heavy

    My daughter is 4 and she has good hair. I put a perm on it to make the curls go away and so it doesn't get nappy at night and so far so good. I did it at 3 and her hair is a lot easier to manage

    Ok thanks and @LaFiitz89 was her hair really bad for you to put a perm on her so young? If I cant find some other way thats my very last option but im in love with her curls

    It would get nappy fast . I guess u would say she has mixed hair.... Not black but maybe a white person with curly hair..? But now its 10000000 times easier to manage
