Hair Question

A.,

Unfortunately the hair that your daughter has now will not always be the hair that she will have. This will eventually fall out. The hair that she has now is just baby hair. Most of it will fall out and she will grow completely new hair with a totally different texture possibly even color.
Heck, my youngest child was born with pitch black straight hair and a few months later it feel out and came back blonde and curly. You sound like you are a mom that really wants to know but unfortunately this is something that no one can predict right now. She is to young. You will find out her hair color and texture in a few months. I gotta run I have to jump on the fire truck...

Best Wishes and Happy Holidays.

I am biracial black and white. As is my daughter. You will not be able to tell for a while what texture hair your baby will have. When I was a baby my hair was just like my moms bone strait, when I got older it got curly. You never can tell at the begining. I am also a cosmetologist so if there is anything you need to know about caring for her hair now or in the future feel free to send me a private message.
Thanks J.

I am hispanic and black and the oldest of four. All of our hair is different. But I will say this, don't relax your childs hair right away. Using the right products to tame curly hair works wonders! Seek professional help(when the time comes) with someone who is familiar with natural hair.

Hi A.,

My best friends children are biracial as well and both children came with hair as their father (who is white). Their texture of hair is curly but "white people's" hair. My brother daughter is biracial as well. The mother is black and he is hispanic and my niece has hair like her mom. She has requested to get a relaxer to help striaghten her hair. My point is the texture of the child hairs will not change. Each child will be born with the parents dominant gene. She may develop some curls but I think that will be it. Congrats on the baby girl.

You can't really tell how her hair will turn out right now, because it takes time. I am black but I have hair like mixed kids and I was bald as a baby until i was two so my parents couldnt tell what kind of hair i would have, and when i got hair it was straight and as i got older it got a little curly and now it is really long and kind of a straight wavy texture. It's hard to predict with mixed hair because it can turn either way or be in between. My daughter's is 11 months and her hair is still straight all over with a slight flip on the tips but she has this patch in the middle that is a little kinky and its wierd because the rest of her hair is really straight and its just that one little patch that we call her nap patch. so i am wondering too how her hair will turn out will she have hair more like mine or will it be kinky, but a lot of black ppl say that the longer thier hair stay straight like six months or more its a good indicator that they will have a straighter grade of hair. So just give it a few months and see. But dont make the mistake of washing her hair everyday when you do find out how it will turn out because her hair will need more moisture to it and you can use the pink oil but i think that one is too greasy and not good for children but the "just for me" moisturizer is better and for kids.

I don't have mixed children, but I'm mixed with one brother and one sister, and the fact is...all our hair is different. My brothers hair is the coursest and really thick, my sisters hair is thick, but not as course as my brothers, and mine is thick and even less course. All of us started with baby fine hair, but by the time we started school...it was a mess. We all have curly hair that tends to frizz if we're not carefull and the only thing I can say for sure is that you will definately need to use conditioner or you won't be able to brush it! I love doing other peoples hair too, so I have lots of great tips for things you can do. If you have any specific problems, like how to style it or something, I'd be glad to help!!

My daughter is mix. When she was born she had very sraight hair. I would brush it and it would stay slick to her head. But she had this one curl that wouldnt stay down I thought that was soo cute well anyway she is not 9 months and she has very think dry hair. I alot of times I will come it and leave it in a bush. People think her hair is course because of the way it looks in a bush but when i actually can get her to sit still long enough for me to style it you can tell it is just think an curly but not course. Its hard to explain. Her hair is now starting to fall out so I do not know what it will look like next year but only time can tell.

WELL AS A HAIR STYLIST BY THE TIME SHE TURNS A YEAR OLD U SHOULD BE ABLE TO TELL BUT MOST LIKELY SHE WILL HAVE HAIR THAT IF U R NOT USE TO THICK AND DRY AND SOMETIME BRITTLE HAIR THEN U WONT BE ABLE TO DO IT SO JUST TAKE HER TO SOMEONE WHO KNOWS ABOUT HAIR FOR BIRACIAL KIDS MAINLY A BLACK STYLIST BUT IF U HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT HER HAIR BEFORE GOING PLEASE ASK OR EVEN ILL TAKE A LOOK AT IT FOR U

Hi! I have 2 mixed daughters (11 & 8). They were both born with my texture hair, the 11yo developed the curly, dry, frizzy hair that has to have oil moisturizer on it everyday while my 8yo has curly hair but its the texture of mine (I am white and they have the same dad). You probably wont know for sure until she is about a year old. I hope this helps!

I also have a biracial son who is 9. When he was born he had hair the same texture as mine. It stayed that way until he had his first haircut when he was 1. Every since then it has been very course and dry. I keep it cut real short and use leave in conditioner on it. There are also many hair products that they make just for hair like his. Congratulations on your new baby!!!

My daughter is biracial too. I'm white. Her father is black. She will be 3 at the end of February. She didn't have MUCH hair for quite some time. But what she did have was very fine and straight like mine. But once it began to grow, it started getting very curly. I love it! Now that it's gotta rather long (middle of her back when I wash it and it stretches out almost straight) it's extremely curly and the ringlets are beautiful!

I use FrizzEase Hair Serum on her wet hair to make the curls less frizzy and actually let the ringlets be bouncy and beautiful. I also use hair moisturizer on her hair at times when I put it up instead of leaving it down to keep the fly-away frizzies from showing up by the end of the day.
I hope this has helped. E-mail me if you have anymore questions. ____@____.com

CHildrens hair, mixed or not, can change all the way up through puberty. However you will probably be able to tell alot sooner if it's going to get curlier from the ethnic side or if it will be straighter or wavier like caucasian hair.

A.,
I am a biracial person and I have waht I consider "in-between" hair. (smile) It is naturally curly but can be blown straight with a blow dryer. Most likely this will be the case with your daughter too. There is something called "Pink Oil Moisturizer" that will work great for her. Our type of hair tends to get very dry but will be brought back to life with a little moisturizer.
