I grew up in a home where love knew no color

my white, previously prejudice grandmother learned how to grease our hair and braid it, she over came a lot

so this is beautiful to me
 
Awww, that is too cute. He did a great job. I love their story. Ok, I peeped the two tubs of vasoline/petroleum jelly in the drawer with the rest of the tools, Lawd. Why do I get that feeling that one of those jars is for her skin care too? :lachen: :lachen:

That picture of her yawning was too funny. (Or was she really yelling?) Are they trying to say that he does such a good job that she ain't tender headed? :lachen:
 
"By and large, most whites are oblivious to the cultural minefield young black girls are born into, just by virtue of having hair that doesn't bounce and behave," one journalist wrote last year. This is the drawer in the Greens' living room that holds all the tools Dad uses to care for Miriam's hair.

This comment from photo #7 irritated me because the journalist was reiterating another stereotype. Healthy hair regardless of race does bounce and it does behave. UGH!

In learning how to take care of Miriam's hair, the Greens learned that what was at stake was far more than hygiene or looks. Her hair was a litmus test of their parenting. Here, half an hour into the braiding process, Miriam lets out a yawn.

This is true for all parents. Many Black parents are dumbfounded as to what to do with their childrens hair. And I am especially baffaled with Interracial couples when the mother is White and knows absolutely nothing about how to deal with the childs hair. When I was at the airport in July coming back from Florida. I was waiting to get my luggage and this young white mother comes over with her daughter and son. They were both dark blonde with honey colored skin. The son's hair looked nice because he was near bald. But her daughter, :nono: :sad::wallbash:. The po child had overprocessed relaxer tied up into a broken off 2 inch ponytail that was stiff and pointed upward at the top of her head. Her sides were broken off and sticking straight out. UGH! :wallbash: She had to be only 5 years old. That was so sad, even the White folks standing around were shaking their heads at that one. Racial ignorance is no longer an excuse. If you are going to procreate or adopt Black children take the time to educate yourself on how to maintain the hair. The mother seemed angry and stressed. She showed very little affection toward the kids. I saw no wedding ring which meant drama with two kids. :perplexed

BTW, that child's head in the photo looks extremely healthy. She is getting her moisture.

Jolie is making a fashion statement by collecting her designer family. Z's hair is not a priority. She has her moments though.

Like the interview said most White parents would have a tendancy to let the childs hair go as a sign of freedom.:rolleyes: I think the men would have more patience. Maybe if Brad did Z's hair since she has him wrapped around her finger. :lachen:
 
i love the photo of the little brother touching his lil hair trying to copy daddy..a future braider in the making...imagine going to get your hair braided alot of folks wouldnt expect to see a "white guy" at his station....little do they know...he's been braiding since 3...too too cute to me
 
He did a great job her hair is so pretty to bad other fathers won't take the time to even try to take care of their daughter hair. I was raised by my father since I was 5 yrs old he relaxed my hair braided everything so I give props to fathers who do take the time to do their kids hair.
 
this was so nice to see. A man that has the confidence to braid his daughter's hair is making a statement to all men and women.
He definitely wants to me a good daddy!

thank for sharing this.
 
that was lovely too see..i like too see dads doing thier dauhters hair of any race...its just really beautiful...

that was such a lovely thing to see! i remember my mum had to go away for my uncles funeral when i was a little girl and my dad was left to look after us....and my hair. He did his best, but when ever he combed my hair and came acroos a knot or a tangle he choped it away with scissors!!!!!! :nono:
 
ahh thats so cute - my dad used to do my hair when i was natural.
I think its funny that he was using a fork to part her hair....
