She's awesome! Better than some black mothers! She really did a lot of research to make sure her daughters' hair would be healthy and look nice.

You put the thread title in all caps, I came in here ready to go off. She obviously has a better understanding of her hair than black mothers who generally repeat what their mothers did passing along misinformation to the next generation.

Got ya!

 

[JustKiya]

See - trying to stir up drama!!!

I think I've seen that video before - she really did a good job.

Amazing the difference education makes over assumptions and tradition. *sigh*

I was thinking the same thing. She has got skills! She does better than my mother. My mother was expecting a boy so she did not know how to do a girl's hair and she would have me looking a hot mess.

 

[Sui Topi]

lol I was ready to pop off too until I saw who it was. I saw her do the yarn extentions in this little girls hair too. She's legit!

 

[butterfly_wings]

Yeah!!!

She really done a good job!!!

 

[Irresistible]

She has talent! wow! hope they arent too tight tho

 

[Vshanell]

Wow, she does a great job! She braids way better than i do. It looks like she's done her research to care for her daughter's hair and I really like that.

 

[baddison]

[fluffylocks]

She's did a good job
I would expect her to research black hair and therefor probally come up knowing more than the average black mother because they know nothing about hair...she would have been completly lost.

 

[d-rock]

She has talent! wow! hope they arent too tight tho

I was thinking about this too. I'm hoping she's not redoing the braids too often too.

 

[CenteredGirl]

Impressive. Speechless.

She's good. I wonder if she's a member somewhere cuz she knows her stuff. I also see that she uses the Jamaican Mango and Lime stuff.

 

[RegaLady]

That was SO beautiful! I wish I could braid like that! She has great talent!

 

[morehairplease]

she did a great job!

 

[Misseyl]

She braid better than me..Very good job.

 

[cecilie]

Great job and beautiful style .

 

[Reinventing21]

Wow! Very impressive! They don't look tight at all. Her mom's not the only one. In the comments another white lady from Australia has bi-rac daughter (half-African she says) who obviously is into hair as well. Good for them!

I thought the same thing! And she only does conditioner washes.

Products I use:
Jamaican Mango and Lime (JML), spray and gel
African Royale M.O.M.

I do not use shampoo, I wash their hair with conditioner every 2 to 4 weeks. Then I put in the leave in lotion - M.O.M.
While I am styling I use a watered down bottle of JML to keep hair wet, and I use the JML gel.
I spray their hair every morning with JML.

I was thinking about this too. I'm hoping she's not redoing the braids too often too.

She had gotten a lot of comments asking if she did it tight and she said she was careful not to put it too tight for fear of breakage. She also said that the way she braids, like her form is not the best and makes it difficult to pull it tight. (she holds the hair as if she was going to french braid a white girls hair..is what she said) And she also said that she keeps the braids in 2 -3 weeks. Some times she will just redo the back or front depending on how frizzy it gets. She pretty good!

 

[Iluvsmuhgrass]

I've watched some of her other videos and I absolutely love her! Her techniques are easy to follow and a great resource.

I'm telling you...my stomach rose into my throat when I read it...my adrenaline was amped!

 

[Magus484]

Aww that's cute.

 

[d-rock]

Wow that's awesome that she really took the time to learn about her adopted babies natural, unruly and sometimes pain in the arse hair texture. She may be a lurker on this site or somewhere else cause that kind of knowledge doesn't just fall out of the sky.

 

[HoneyA]

Wow! I'd be struggling to do that! Very impressive! Her daughter's hair looks so thick and healthy too.

 

[Makenzie]

Me too!!

I really love how this woman took the time to learn about her daughters hair. Really inspiring. You can not judge a whole race by some of the idiots in it.

 

[Bigghair]

Wow! She did do a great job! I need her to come an work on my head!

 

[Anancy]

LOL i've seen her video's shes great, i've got a lot to learn from her.

 

[eunique]

I wish my mom's adopted white parents had taken the time to learn about her hair.
