However, sadly many do ,do however this lady here from my point of view she just loves her children and you never know maybe she can't have kids huh or maaaybe she just loves helping a child get out of a existence that they were in and now blessing them with a Life worth living these beautiful babies sadly at the end of the day weren't but under adoption because they were in a great environment hunny let's be honest here ok... YOU ARE DOING AN AWESOME JOB MAMA👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💯💯💯💯💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 KEEP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING HUNNY...AND GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR BABIES 💯💯💯💪🏿👍🏿... FROM:A BLACK WOMAN

Videos like this showing others how to help their children with their hair is amazing. I love it.

My cousin had the same hair and she had the same treatment from her mum. She only learned to brush the 💩 out of her hair as a way of trying to neaten it, and all it did was create a massive puffy mess. My mother buys the worst products for my daughter. She is half Tamil and has super thick, dry hair. My mum buys her the cheapest ‘kids’ shampoo and conditioner and buys her the smallest, tiniest brushes for her hair. I’m like - ah no she needs super moisturising products and WIDE tooth combs for thick hair…

Oh, my mother is black, but her hair is naturally straight, my father is white (latino) and his hair is super curly, I was born with 2B/3A curls, being a 00's kid, I never found products for me, but somehow my mother made my curls finger by finger, even though she never had a hair like that, when she went back to work, my father was responsible for getting me ready for school, I spent three years wearing a ponytail! He always tried hard to make it beautiful, I always wanted to wear braids when I was younger, so I would make his job easier, only after I was old I understood why I couldn't, parents like mine and many others deserve a lot of recognition, she never masked her daughter, never changed her, always evolving alongside her ❤️

I'm not black so I can't talk for the black community but I know that mexican culture treats kids really badly when it comes to pain, I can't remember a single day in my childhood were I enjoyed getting my hair done.

[@isabelleblanchet3694]

Yes, we have to remember that our kids are all their own human, I'm a white mom with white kids and I started asking my kids what they wanted to wear when they were around 18-24 months old. I gave them choices appropriate to weather conditions (no t-shirts when it's -30°C outside) and I've had no crisis for dressing them up this way. Same for my daughter's hair. I have to do it everyday, morning and night since they are so long that she sits on them. She chooses what I do with it, ponytail, braids, 4 strand braids, etc. Except days with PE, then it's automatically a braid to keep it out of her face and less risk of it getting stuck somewhere while running.

[@NWolfsson]

Two things that really made my heart beat with glee: -The mention of age-appropriate hairstyles (because so many parents will not let their children grow up and keep them in "cute" things in teenage years, or suddenly say "you're not a kid any more" and put them in too serious styles) -Asking the kid if they're okay with the style/accessories (Because, once again, not enough parents taking into account what styles and what colours their kids actually like)

[@asking4afri3nd49]

Honestly, hair is hair. It’s a part of everyone’s identity. I understand the sentiment behind your comment but everyone needs to hear that about their hair regardless. It’s not only little black girls. It’s a shame you feel the need to single out one part of a community when all people need to hear good things about themselves from other people. I’m wondering why you feel the need to only speak for little black girls. Why can’t you speak for all little girls? Why can’t you speak for people? Is it really so hard to understand that we are all individuals with the same needs? Do you think only little black girls need to be pandered to about their hair? In all the years of my life, spent in several countries and all across the United States I have never heard anyone say anything negative about black hair unless they were black themselves. On the contrary, I’ve heard most people that aren’t black commenting positively about the texture and beauty of black peoples hair. I’m so sick of the b.s. about how no one likes black people or their hair. I could braid any black persons hair if they asked me to. The only reason people don’t delve into conversation about this specific subject (a black person’s hair) is because the reaction of a compliment or a question is actually to take offense, no matter what is said. If you don’t want the compliment, then don’t complain when people don’t tell you your hair is beautiful. Believe in yourself and learn to love yourself. If people dislike your hair guess what, that’s just an opinion. It means nothing. If you can’t formulate your own opinions about yourself then you need to get in touch with a doctor that can help you figure out how to. It’s no ones problem but yours. No one makes you feel anything, that’s all you. Being upset because of something someone said is called a reaction. A reaction is a verb, and that means it’s an action. A reaction is an action that is taken in lieu of another action. It’s not usually done by the subject making the first action. It’s usually done by the recipient of said first action. That means the recipient created that reaction. Not the person that had an opinion. I’d like you to educate yourself so you don’t feel the need to be a racist or a bigot. Afterwards maybe start to help educate the rest of the liberal community. Just a few thoughts.

I thought it was particularly sweet at 11:40 when she strokes her daughter's hair twists and says, "I just love the way it feels," and seconds later her daughter reaches up and touches her hair in the same way. Very precious. It's also lovely that her daughter isn't anxious or restless meaning mom has never made hair care something to be dreaded.

[@rachelsl4492]

Congratulations on the little one. Like your baby I'm mixed, but black mother white father, and to let you know mixed hair is different. In can be coarser than someone who is predominantly/100% black, it can be straighter, or very frizzy, it is a genetic lottery in that respect. My hair is mixed, with straight hair strands and frizzy ones. It is also very thick, so blowdrying for me is a chore, when I wash my hair, which is about every few weeks. The interval for washing is long, as my hair is dry, so too much washing will strip out the modicum of moisture I have. Be aware of some afro hair products as they can weigh down mixed hair; Caucasian ones are nice and light but don't have enough moisture, so it is finding that balance.

I remember the during the 80s and 90s, the main shops such has Boots only sold Dax hair cream, so for other afro hair care products had to travel afar, as I lived in predominantly white areas, to buy these. And I thought they were the dark ages. Nowadays, and with thanks to the internet, there is a very wide range of items, which even mainstream shops sell. Quite a few white hairdressers in the last 20 years have become well versed and develop good experience with afro hair - my comment on mixed hair was told to me by my white hairdressers of 15 years!

We had no access to the wealth of info out there for 4c hair. We've lost touch but I sure hope this young woman has it figured out now. My son became very close to a black girl who was living with a white family. He actually researched to help her learn to heal and style her hair. Which is gorgeous now. I love the positivity of this video!!!

You are an amazing mother

[@morbidbutterfly03]

I agree Erika!

[@LadyNikitaShark]

I remember being a kid and my white mom going to my black grandma's house so grandma could help my mom with my hair. It helped that my mom has very strong and thick hair for a white woman and understood that doing hair is more than just brushing it :) there was no internet back then, but mom managed to learn what she needed it. This video is kind of touching tbh

[@laurahall7681]

Im not hispanic but this was absolutely my experience in foster care.. they would just cut it off so they wouldn't have to deal. Took me 23 years to love my hair as a result.

[@DstyShsty]

I love that you’re giving her props. My sister (yt) has 3 mixed black children and they all have pretty different hair from each other and my sister has the most yt thin hair ever. She works hard and does her best and it’s nice to see other people appreciating the work mothers like her actually do.

[@brixoxo101365]

As a mixed kid with a black dad and a white mom, I was really never taught how to care for my hair. I grew up hating and resenting my hair. I’m happy her kids have a mom who was willing to learn so much I’m not crying

[@alexisruiz9272]

I’m glad I’m not the only one who felt this way. My mom is asian and has straight hair, I have poofy hair (Mexican hair cuz of my dad) and my mom gave me a hair straightener in elementary school. I always hated my hair because it wasn’t straight and it was always fried and frizzy. I never realized I had curly hair until a few months ago when I couldn’t stand straightening my hair anymore. I went natural and the curls just started to form.

[@keiramiller5106]

So glad others deal with this, both my parents are white and had slightly curly hair 2a, 2b but when I was born I got 3b so my parents don't know how to care for it; actually they don't know how to care for theirs either. I still don't know how to properly style my curls but I know how to keep them healthy now lol

[@zaliahrowlands2855]

Same situation, my mama tried (didn't have KZbin) but I remember sitting in a chair in the kitchen/bath while my mama ripped through my knots with a paddle brush ;-; when I tell u I would scream and cry as a kid

[@MoniVenSmit]

Same, I still struggle with how to care for my hair til this day

[@imjusthere4theteahahah822]

same

[@lauraesimoes]

im not even black but i have 3b hair and grew up with a nanny who just ignored my curls and treated my hair as if it was just straight. seeing someone who cares and loves to take care of her children's hair, it warms my heart.

[@Torichan888]

Same but with my mom. I was showered with detangler. She would scrape my scalp to part my hair and pull at every stage of braiding it. If I got upset, she would tell me that beauty is painful. To this day, I don' t like my hair touching me and either wear it in a bun or cut it into a pixie cut.

[@IrieRogue]

I have long, coarse 2b hair (2c when I was a kid, then for a short period 2a) and I constantly would get the "use only a pea-sized amount" rhetoric from my mom. Prior to them marrying, my dad would have to comb and style my hair, after he and my bio-mother divorced. He tried his best, but it eventually turned into a "rat's nest" (their words), so my mom convinced us both to get it cut short. I absolutely hated it. When I grew back in, that was the brief period my hair resembled 2a. Now that I'm an adult I used a heaping handful of conditioner and a ton of oil for every wash. My hair is crazy dry, including my scalp. It only starts to look tame and decent after 5 days of no washing.

[@IrieRogue]

@@Torichan888 I can emphasize there. I hate having my hair down, and I abhor it in my face and eyes. I have yet to cut it all off again. The last time I cut it was after I had dreads for 4 years. I was somehow convinced it would be more professional to not have them, and at the time I was worried about finding work. I miss the heck out of them.

[@BlaydeAlabama]

Your stories are really heart breaking, this treatment over hair because it doesn't fit the standard European silky. Damn i had no idea

[@deborahdash7328]

@@IrieRogue oil sheen will be your friend. It'll help with the dryness and not weigh your hair down. Less washing will help your hair and scalp too. You're stripping your hair with the shampoos, try a sulfate free high slip one. Shea moisture makes a great one in the red bottle. Life changing for your curls.

[@munchiem7075]

I hate that you guys normalize saying “ if a white person adopts a black kid, she better know how to do their hair “ and not acknowledging black people have black kids and do not know how to do their hair 😭😭

[@jettyl23]

Thank you! Know how to do your kids hair period.

[@hyuncake]

nah fr though💀💀💀 i'm black & my mom don't know how to do mine

Good point!

Amen. Honey as a Black woman I see it daily 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@dkadkins6545]

I've watched several of her videos in the past. They adopted 4 daughters and a son that they fostered first. What I loved most was in a video where she called her girls' hair their crown.
