Wow... interesting website that I will probably bookmark when I get home. It's like having an inside scoop!
But WHY did I start reading the bulletin board and came across one thread on "African American or Bi-racial haircare?" and one post said the following: "Hello, I read your post and it hit a nerve. I am a multi-cultural stylist with special needs hair as well."
Special needs? Special needs? Whewww.... (counting down from 100 to reduce the anger!) Dominant culture-speak is so condescending! Whoooosaaaaaa!!!
Thankfully, a subsequent post gave wise advice: "Try to think in terms of TEXTURE, not race! Hair is all about the texture!! Any curly hair usually requires moisture. If it's fine and curly, then a lighter weight moisturizer would be what I'd recommend. When applying conditioners, remember to first squeeze out the excess moisture after shampooing, apply from ENDS to scalp. The longer the hair, the older the hair, the more exposure to elements etc. The scalp hair is "technically virgin", so it doesn't need to be conditioned. Many people make the mistake of how they apply and how much, and put a big glob right on the top of their head, then wonder why it weighs it down!! Follow with a light styler for definition, and I'm sure it's beautiful!!!"
Interesting site, though!
