I thought I was becoming quite the curly hair master and felt pretty well-informed...
then I watched this.
It has been fascinating to read about the debate over this film's subject and its cultural/political significance (read this for a fresh, and probably accurate, perspective on the film). Up until a year ago, I had no IDEA this issue even existed! I now realize that little girl hair is one thing and this white mama has a lot of other things to learn before Mia becomes adolescent.
I welcome all insight to this new (to me) world of relaxers, weaves, or otherwise from women who know...please...

Good Hair is in our netflix queue. i'm looking forward to it. i know just as much as you do on the subject. you are very brave! :)
Hi, I am a mother of five. Four beautiful children from my womb and one beautiful girl grown in my heart. She is ten months old and boy am I learning about hair too. She could be your babe's twin. I too fumble and worry about the hair to come. I have always bathed her head to toe in 100% pure and natural almond oil. I could never get myself to use any type of petroleum products. Carols Daughter's also has great natural products. I hope you don't mind me peaking in on your little family here and their. It is a beautiful one.

Let me know if you have any questions about hair.. the most important thing is Products. Sally has a good variety, I can tell you what I put in Nedeja's hair. There is also a site called mixedchicks.com I believe and they make product especially for mixed ethnicities, which should work for her curls! Nexus products work well for my hair too.
