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...

    Even as a white woman with curly hair (3a/3b) my mother had no idea what to do 40 years ago. Her reference was her own thin straight hair and my super thick curly hair got a TON of brushing and damage until I was a teenager and had a friend with curly hair to show me what to do.
    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…

      Same! My mother would brush my curly hair from root to end and then get frustrated and took me to a hair salon and had it all chopped up. I had a terrible view of my natural curly hair because my mom's hair was always straight and I didn't learn to embrace my curls until I was a much older adult. It's just nice to see a mom care about her child's individual needs ❤️

      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.

We're German btw, this is important because the black community here is much smaller than in the US. We started talking about hair and we both realized that black girls don't actually have limited options per se, they just have limited access to people who really know how to care for kinky hair and there's also limited acceptance for hairstyles that work better on their hair. It's actually so sad, because yes, the care is more time consuming, but the number of style options is technically just as big as for people with straight or wavy hair...It's a privilege I never realized I had before.

      Lilly and Tali are biological sisters, and are three quarters white and one quarter Japanese.

Yanking on tangles, teasing, over-tightening hair bands or pulling too hard on braids; hurting the scalp with hard brush bristles or stiff combs; using unpleasant chemicals and sprays; not taking input on what the kid wants their hair to look like; cutting hair they want it long (often because it’s TOO MUCH TROUBLE for the mom to take care of) or not allowing it to be cut when the kid wants it short; yelling at them to sit still and stop whining! I can only imagine how much deeper all that hits for black children, when negative cultural messages are being reinforced, as well!

      Why do people when it comes to white people being nice to black people and vice versa make such a big deal out of it? As if it would be such a rare thing and they only waited for a tiny evidence that the mom is using the girl and then hate on the mom for not treating her poor adopted black daughter with respect. No one would celebrate the normal behavior of a mom and daughter if they were the same skincolor.

    Honestly I think black mothers should watch this as well. I think it’s a generational thing where black women are taught that dealing with their hair is suppose to hurt, be time consuming, and difficult to deal with. My mom would pull and tear into my hair to do it and when I cried I got hit. It was the norm and I think it’s the norm to a lot of black children to endure the pain to look “pretty”. Black mothers need to treat their children’s hair with care for the CHILD. Not to make the process easier for them

    -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)

A friend of mine is also a social worker (and a mom to adult biracial kids), and she has seen so many kids whose hair was cut short while they were in temporary foster care. When they came back to their bio parents, that was actually traumatic to mother & kids, to have a white foster family make that decision because they did not want to put in the time to learn to take care of the child's hair. So sad..

My mom is white and has curly hair, and she has always hated her hair because she was never taught how to properly take care of it and bring out the best in it. Her mom just chopped it short when she was a kid and didn't do much else to it. I've told her recently she should go to a black stylist because they would be able to help her take care of it better than the white stylists she's been going to all her life.
