Mixed Race Hair

[KatieMac]

If I start it here they can move it to the right place (If they decide to start a topic (& ever decide what to call it))

where do I start......

thanks 4 that .

What kind of hairdressers do u use ? Do u find afro hdressers uncomfortable?

My hairdresser comes to the house and does all of my children with their different textured hair. Who know that each one would have different hair. Ah well, at least she is very good at what she does.

Not sure what hairdresser DH takes DS too. We used to take him to the barbers shop down the road - but they closed so DH started taking him to a new one in town that does Afro hair.

I have to confess - I've known my DH for 6yrs now - and still can't tell if he's brushed his hair or not!!!

any of u have kids hair braided , extentions or any other styles or prefere natural.

when you say braided do you mean own hair or extensions/weave? My children all have "natural" styles

MarsLady please tell me who your hairdresser is! Where does she travel to? CAT me if you prefer

CATed you. btw can you tell me your RL name so that I can let her know that you will be calling. First name will be fine. If you've told me before then sorry, have no space in my head for info.

reply 2 munched2manymarslady I mean any sort of plaites cornrows using own or fake hair loose braids ,weaves ect.

Many thanks MarsLady - I'll email you with my name when I get your email - may not call her for a while but will keep a record of her number. Which parts of London does she cover?

I,m a afro hairdresser if anyones intrested i,m in the middlesex area i do alot of mixed race kids hair .Alot of the mums are white & feel comfy with me doing it as i,m white myself.

4kids just checking. Prefer natural plaits/cornrows myself

zinger fab honey. She's a north London girl and will probably travel to Islington (where you are I think?)

Spot on MarsLady. 4Kids - would love to invite you to Islington but fear I might not be able to afford you

don't worry zinger, you'll love Charli! She can do all hair and kids like her (so do adults)

I dont want 2 poach customers i am pleased 2 help anyone who has problems with kids hair who doesnt all ready have a hairdresser . I cant travel i have 2 do it frm home as i have 3yr old twins i,m also very reasonable friends say i should put up prices but i am happy with what i charge.

I know how hard it is with twins 4kids. My DTs(boy/girl)are 10months. Love 'em, have offered them to lockets who is keen to take them lol Whoever said that it would be hard at the beginning was lying, it is getting harder now.

TWINS never again i,ve deffo learnt my lesson people say it gets easier when ? If i had had them first no way would i have had more oh well its done now lol

my DTs were supposed to be baby no. 4. So now there are 5

would u do it again {twins}

In this or any other life?

No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like you, had they been my first there would be no more marslets. Love them with a passion though and wouldn't change it.
