If you have a biracial child with a black man or woman, do you know how to comb their hair?

What hair products do you use?

My son's hair is that type. I used to have to just grab areas and comb it from tip to scalp so that I wasn't pulling his hair out! I got tired of it and cut it really really short. I still use baby shampoo for him as it is mild and with mixed skin, easy to get eczema on the scalp. If you want to use a detangler, that helps and I also used baby oil to help me get through it when he was younger. My friend either uses that or olive oil (they have it in spray form too in the hair care areas) on her little girl and her hair is amazingly beautiful! Hope this helps!

grease, no jell. jel doesnt work for black man or woman.

I'm black mixed, and I have a daughter who is 3 and her father is white. She has mid-back length hair that is all over the place when she wakes up in the morning. Its a curly grade, not frizzy or "nappy" but it is still kind of pouffy.. What I do is use a wide tooth comb and a little hair lotion like BB, its a really good brand for little kids, and a bit of spray on detangler like Just For Me, or some pure aloe vera gel to hold her hair in place. First I spray on the detangler, then comb from the ends of her hair and work my way through until all of the tangles are out. After that I put in the hair lotion and she has perfect spirials that need no more styling unless I choose to put her hair in a ponytail or two french braids. Mixed race hair isn't all that much of a matter, its only becomes an obstacle if you see it as one. Also, I don't wash her hair everyday, that only incerases the dryness and frizz.

Depending on the actual texture of their hair and its thickness , you'll want to go with a product that DE-tangles and moisturizes. If the texture of their hair is thick and curly , you will want to go w/ products that minimize frizz , detangle , and define the natural curl pattern of their hair. some great product lines to try ( in order from least expensive )
Garnier Nutriss , Nexxus or matrix curl line shampoo. When choosing a product , be sure to get the accompanying products because they are designed to work with and enhance on another. As far as combing , you should part the hair into 4 equal sections an then dividing each section into a smaller section , begin at the ends and work your way up to the Roots and repeat until entire head is completed. Make sure to keep the scalp healthy by conditioning and moisturizing the scalp and roots regularly. Also biracial children may not need to wash their hair every day, because of the texture of their hair , this may strip away the natural oils in the hair that protect it , usually once/week will do the trick.
