This white woman adopted an Ethiopian child into her home. I was amazed at how she took the time to really master his very unique hair. Instead of simply cutting it off.

Here is a ridiculously long post to answer the question, "What do you use in Easton's hair?"

All of the products can be purchased at Walmart or Target. I've heard of wonderful products available online but I have been happy with the over the counter, inexpensive products found locally. It's been a journey of trial and error to see what works best with the texture of his hair. I actually started writing this post months ago but I keep finding different products and techniques that I wanted to share. Hopefully, this will be a starting point and a good reference for you!

Easton's hair is tight curls. When you pull them out you can see how long it is!





Baby Shampoo- (very mild for Easton's hair)





Our favorite leave in condition! We use a generous amount of this conditioner each bath. I believe the key to Easton's hair is rich conditioner and no tangles.



A good comb is necessary! I try to comb through it twice a week, in the tub with lots of conditioner. I keep the scissors close by too because I typically just cut out the tiny knots on the ends. Easton can tolerate this for about 5 minutes so I work fast!



This was Easton's hair at 12 months old. This is combed out! I haven't combed out his hair in a long time. I'm pretty sure he would have atleast a 4 inch fro!





This is what it looks like when it's completely soaked. Tight ringlets that I love!



Our favorite product for styling his hair (special occasions-It's too much work to do daily) I use a generous amount and twist locks of hair around my figures. I do not use a comb to part it. I simply grab a tiny chunk and twist it between my figures.





(Poof Ball) Here is Easton's hair once I sprayed it with water and rubbed Cantu Shea Butter leave in conditioner through it:



We love all of the Cantu products!

Easton's hair after a bath with Palmer's coconut oil, hair milk in it:





(A Hot Mess)
Inevitably what Easton's hair will look like after 10 hours of sleep in his crib!! Time for a bath and to start all over again!! =)





Mama's hair doesn't get half the attention that the boys' hair does! =) Thankfully my hairdresser friend Brittny insist on taking care of me!



A BLAST FROM THE PAST:
Incase you are wondering if your baby will have hair like Easton's, here are a few pictures to help you compare. His hair was never course, it was always soft, curly and fine.

And very lucky to have such a loving mother who's willing to sit there and figure it all out. I love seeing stuff like this. It's a much needed reminder that there are good people still in this world.

I used to have this colleague  who adopted an African kid, but she got so much criticism because of the boy's hair. I think her own sister even accused her of abusing the kid but probably because she was jealous or something. I could tell she really loved the kid and wouldn't hurt him.

This is really sweet. Such a cute boy

[Young]

Beautiful

Love has no color. ❤️

And I love that she took the time to educate herself on her child culture and things

[BigDawg]

Aww he is so precious!!! Go head on White mama!!

!!!!

And his hair is EXTREMELY tricky to really get a grip of. So this woman put her work in.
It's very versatile and multi dimensional in a way...it could go from a BUSH on top of his head:


to nice curls and ringlets. with just a little water


So finding products that really compliment and style it is very challenging and tricky.
She didn't give up I don't know why it makes me a little emotional.

But I love her. And Imma donate to her cause.

A lot of white people are scared of their black kids hair.
Many mothers of biracial kids end up chopping their sons hair off.

or if they have a daughter, they'll just PULL her hair back into a ponytail or something and cal it a day.

Many of them are lazy. You wanted to lay down with a black man and let him cum inside of you...... but did you think your kid would come out looking like Cinderellla? Black blood is potent.

He's precious

I feel like you shouldn't adopt a black child (or any child of a different race) if you aren't willing to embrace their heritage

[MelMel]

he's so adorable!!!

and I am glad that Mom took significant efforts in learning about the right products for his beautiful hair.

I just love that she adopted him. The embracing of his ethnic background is a beautiful bonus. Everyday I hear about parents killing their kids and I get so fucking disgusted.
