Our current foster daughters are bi-racial and have beautiful skin and hair. Their skin and hair does take extra care. I keep reading the information on black hair care and utilizing our wonderful stylist here in town. One thing I have learned is the importance of not over shampooing. It does make all the difference in keeping in moisture, especially in the winter.
I don't know about where you live, but here in KS we are having a mild winter so far. Knock on wood. I hate cold weather. It always does a number on my skin. It's also hard on different textures of hair. Mahisha Dellinger, the founder of CURLS, has written an article to help educate foster or adoptive parents in the care and styling of African American or Biracial hair during the winter months.
As foster or adoptive parents we are often called upon to step outside of our own culture to raise and care for a child. What tips can you pass along to other foster or adoptive parents regarding African American hair care?
