AFRICAN AMERICAN KIDS HAIR CARE ROUTINE + TIPS FOR FOSTER & ADOPTIVE PARENTS /CHRISTY GIOR

Adrienne Marcus Dont EVER say this again. Not everyone deserves to be a mother. Literally NOT everyone. I’ve seen too many abuse stories of controlling and abusive mothers. Some people do not deserve to be parents, everyone CAN be a parent but don’t DESERVE to be. I’m saying people who treat their kids with respect and love deserves to be parents. Never ever say this again because you obviously haven’t had anyone close to you be abused or neglected by the hands of their mothers.

[@Beatngu23]

I don't think anyone should have to wear wigs. I think black women and men should be able to wear their hair naturally. I understand curls can be a fuss sometimes, I have them myself. But I absolutely adore the natural look on a woman and a man. I love braids as well, but I love the girls and natural look the most!

[@wowzers4437]

@@Beatngu23 I believe it's your choice sometimes you can use wigs to try certain hair colors before you dye your hair or see how a hair style looks before trying it. Or experimenting with hair without damaging your real hair. maybe they just like the look or it makes them feel confident. Also let's not forget wigs are a protective style too!

Just to clarify, I didn’t bring up race to be divisive. She is an amazing mom regardless of her race and the race of her children. I said what I said because I’ve seen many children be adopted outside of their race, and as she’s mentioned, moms not take the time to learn or take proper care of their children’s hair , straighten it to conform to Eurocentric beauty standards, the whole 9. I was simply appreciated the effort she has put in bc even black moms get tired of doing our hair.

I always put beads in my babies hair.....both of them. I am going to be honest....I was so happy when we had a boy because his hair wouldn't be so tough to do. I am again hoping for a boy. But I love my girls hair. I got so mad when a white family member straightened her hair....not once but twice....in one week! I tired to be nice at first but the second time I told her to do what she wants with her kid's hair but dont touch my daughter's hair again. My girls are past the age of beads but they loved them when they were young. I had to have my mama in Missouri send us hair stuff for the kids. I also am not able to corn row. I am trying though. I bought a head with African hair off the internet to practice. The kids dont sit still for me to practice. I had to pay extra because I wanted to use it for corn rows and lock practicing. I got a cheaper one and all the hair just fell out. I teach my kida about their roots. I have found ao much African art here. They dont appreciate it so they sell it cheap. Its worth money and they have no idea. I will be the white mama that passes the African heritage to my babies. I am not afraid to ask for help either. Not to mention, I believe there are genetic factors that they have that would surprise you. You can take the girl out of Africa but you cant take the African out of the girl. I mean that in a very positive way. So no offense meant if anyone takes it that way. It beautiful.

I used to have to sit for 5 hours so my white mother could braid my whole head. Your kiddos can too. Start by maybe doing one or two braids on the side as a cute little style for them and work up to more. Glad to hear you're trying to such to give your kids a part of their heritage. I wish I would have had that. Didnt try Caribbean food til I was a teenager lol My other tip which changed my hair completely is the LOC method and adding protein in my regime.Its much much more managable.

As a Black women, she’s more informed and knows more than a lot of African American mothers out there Edit: Why do people have to twist and turn the comment I made above? Speaking as a black women, I have encountered damage to my hair because of perms, and “just not knowing”. Born in the 80’s so many women close to my age can relate to not having KZbin to teach us or internet for that matter. Greasing the scalp with petrolatum or mineral oil, perms, improperly straightening hair etc.. Yes, there have been huge improvements and healthy “hair consciousness” and movements in our African American community but there are still some women/girls still not informed and I am shocked that women are still perming their young girls hair due to the amount of info out there. But , please people for once quit trying to twist a comment into a million different directions. As for the women in the video, thanks for sharing this to mothers out there that need to know.

I love the fact that you have educated yourself on how to maintain your daughters hair. Small tip for her 4c type of hair water is her hairs best friend it allows you to use less product . Less is more ! Oils are also her hairs best friend. Ayurveda herbs and chebe , clay masks may be something you want to look into as well. These will help make it easier to maintain length, strength, and manageability. These are herbs that will be essential for her hair because they date back to her ancestors and history as a whole.Enjoy this journey and stay blessed.

In other words, keep a spray bottle full of water to use while detangling. This uses less product which attracts dust. Also try the wrapped rubber bands so the hair wont rip. Shes beautiful

I mean, we can't pretend race doesn't matter in cases like this. It introduces some unique challenges in childcare in this instance, and Mom breaks it down beautifully. Acknowledge and celebrate differences rather than sweeping them under the rug!

[@TJSmith-fy9nj]

@Game Hackz that's cute but I've seen how pretending to not see differences can be problematic. For example, if this mom tried to treat her AA daughter's hair the same as her Caucasian daughter's hair, the AA child would not have the healthy, beautiful hair she has today. It would probably ravage her self esteem and make it look like her parents don't take care of her. Another example: we need to acknowledge race in order to undo the harm done by others who discriminate based on ethnicity.

Lola Y there’s black people all over the world sweetie. Personally I don’t identify as African American even though I live in the US because I’m NOT American. Perhaps they want to detach from the awful mess that is America and it has nothing to do with African American women 🤷🏾‍♀️

Lola Y it’s nothing against American black women, it just doesn’t make sense to label yourself something you aren’t, and in the process lose your identity. For example, I am jamaican not african american simply because i am not american so it would be stupid to call myself one. Furthermore, my nationality and heritage is a big part of my identity and i would rather not eliminate it from my ‘label’. And p.s we don’t drink brown water or live in mud huts, and everyone gets ashy sometimes. :)

Lola Y because they literally are not from America. African American only applies to people of African descent that were born in America. If they are black and from any other country then they are not African American...no one is on a high horse, maybe it just sounded weird to you

[@Cordialgore310]

brewill95 the point was that them pointing out that they weren’t African American was not relevant at all, not to the video, not to the rest of her comment.
