Biracial children’s hair

As a mother of black children I would have the dad ask what is ok to use on his hair. I wouldn’t want to overstep.

Can you find a hair salon that works with his texture. And they can help you find the right products.

@Haley 💚 and he has but she is just difficult in general to communicate with and doesn’t respond to messages unless it’s urgent matters or doctors visits. I feel like if she’s going to be upset about the hair to at least guide him cause neither of us is African American

@Stephanie it’s court ordered that he cannot take him to do those things only mother can

Hey elizabeth i actually do all my girls hair and my niece has 4c hair so i have quite bit of experience has well braiding hair if you need tips or product and recommendations shoot me a message would love to help☺️

@Elizabeth that’s annoying. What type of hair does he have. Is it long?

@Elizabeth wow that’s quite fustraring. Even if y’all just take him for a consultation?

Look into Cantu kids. He needs leave in conditioner ALL the time. When you wash his hair, be sure to use a moisturizing shampoo AND a conditioner. Then when he's out of the bath, put leave in conditioner in. If mom won't even share what she uses at home, then I'd say find something that works for y'all and is not permanent or damaging (like using conditioner).

My step kids are half black as well. Their mom is white, though, and she doesn't do anything with their hair. My husband only recently stopped shaving his hair off so he's also new to the natural hair journey. We're learning together how to care for our kids' hair. I love that you care for your little one's curls! 🤍

Try to find a curl specialist in your area. Please don’t overstep especially because you don’t know how to care for our type of hair. Maybe extend an olive branch to mom and ask her what SHE wants you to do. She may just want you to leave it alone

How can the court order for the dad not to be able to take him to hair salons etc. that’s ridiculous

@Angel tell me about it ! But yea he can’t take him to cut his hair, doctor appointments, dental appointments etc. it’s so crazy to me ! She has manipulated the whole situation in her favor to the point where she’s still not working and his child support keeps increasing. She even told him she was gonna request back pay for wear and tear on her car from having to take the baby to doctors appointments 🫠 I’m not sure how to handle her when she wants us to make sure his curls stay nice and hydrated but won’t help in what products she uses or what she does to keep his hair moisturized. She is a bit difficult but when we have him weekends we want to ensure that we send him back to mother exactly how she asks otherwise she does use it in court against him. Example : she told the judge how does she expect her to trust him when he can’t even ensure his hair doesn’t look so dry …

@Elizabeth what kind of judge co-signs that. I’m actually shocked. Did he challenge this in court? Seems like he’s being treated unfairly. If he’s in his fathers care, he should be allowed to do those simple things. I’m not in America but I use Camille Rose products which works on both my two girls who are full black and my mixed race step daughter. Maybe have a look into that
