Hi Everyone

My daughter has lovely hair but unfortunately because most of the kids in school have straight hair she is starting to cry about it. (Any advice)I use a product called Care Free Curl which gives her hair moisture and a childs brush. She is now turning a bit girlie so I'm getting pretty bits for her hair.

my sil used to use a product called babylove on dn hair and that did the trick.

[MunchedTooManyMarsLady]

my dds went through the same thing. I just kept praising their curls and telling them that lots of girls would love to have hair like theirs. I put pretty plaits and bobbles in their hair. No way any straighteners are coming near them. If you want to let them have straight hair for a treat or to see how it looks you can always blow-dry it.

Thks Guys
Off to the shops for some girlie things for the hair.

Do your children have probs finding mixed race friends?

[MunchedTooManyMarsLady]

Mine have a healthy mix of friends. I just leave them to get on with it. They seem to choose kids that I like (mostly) and I'm not too worried about the ethnic mix. There are a fair number of mixed race kids where we live.

Hi MTMML

I assume then you're in the london area.

Hi people, was reading your messages and was so sad to hear that your children are suffering having curly hair. I am a mixed race mum, my mum had no idea about my hair and had an afro for most of my childhood! I understand how hard it is to fit in.

Hi Going mad
Really interested in your expience and wondered if you can tell me if i'm doing the right thing. I'm going all out now to find mixed race friends for DD. I'm joining a number of org (PIH and Intermix) with this in view. Any more advice from you or from anyone would be appreciated.

[GoingMad]

Hi Network! Glad to hear your trying so hard It will make a huge difference to your DD to have other mixed raced kids as well as others! I hate looking at old pictures of myself because of the mess my hair was in. It took me about 5 years to repair the damage my mum did to my hair as a child (bless her!) Where are you from?

Sorry HM2, I don't have the answer as I don't use anything on DD's hair - have tried a few things which make her hair look nice initially, but seem to build up, meaning I have to wash her hair more often. I'm interested to know how often those of you who use products on your kids' hair wash their hair??? Am I just being lazy?! DD's hair is very curly but very fine - at the moment it seems to work OK just to brush & comb the tangles out in the morning (resulting in a big fuzz), then get the curls back with lots of water.

Your DD's hair sounds much like my DD's .....

[franch]

So you don't find the Pink Oil builds up on your DS's hair too much??
