AFRICAN AMERICAN KIDS HAIR CARE ROUTINE + TIPS FOR FOSTER & ADOPTIVE PARENTS /CHRISTY GIOR
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 жов 2024
- I filmed this African-American kid's hair care routine to help other foster and adoptive mamas. Or anyone else that does not have experience caring for African-American kids' hair. I did not grow up with the knowledge of caring for my daughter's hair, I had to learn on my own. I had wished there was a super basic video with some tips and must do when I adopted my girls. This is not a hair tutorial and I am not claiming to be an expert of any kind. I am continuing to learn more each day. I just thought it would be nice to talk about the things that I have learned and what has helped me care for my daughter’s hair. I hope that we can all be supportive of each other and share constructive tips and advice.

The way this women parted , moisturized, and braided this baby’s hair gave me LIFE!!! Great job mama!!!
I know right so nice to witness!
Tiana Young She’s a real Supermom!
Tiana Young girl I’m amazed!!! Lol
Christy Gior It looks to me that your an under-braided! I can’t explain it to you but I’m definitely rooting for you to learn, and drop that tutorial ❤️
@@ChristyGior8 flat twists are easier to learn (I can't grip cornrows right either 😔)
This literally made me emotional. As a black woman hearing a white mother of a black girl speak on our hair with such love and care has been so refreshing and beautiful. Thank you for this example.
I agree, this was very beautiful.
I am an African American male.
I don't know what your talking about lady!!! Their is still to much racism in this world and injustice for u to think this is ok...
Edward Wiley this is ok this woman obviously loves this little girl to be doing her hair this beautifully!
AGREED!
@@angrymal1345 She might love her, but all the love in the world will not prepare her for the real world as a black woman!!! That white lady cannot teach that!!! It's really disrespectful...
This woman is trying to understand her daughters hair and I have to respect that...PERIODDDDD
Mae Jon I was just thinking that! I absolutely love that.
❤️❤️❤️
Agreed and impressed!
We STAN;)
Rock Chick Supremeo 🤦🏾♀️
"every single coil"❤
"its bonding time" 😭❤
I miss doing my little girls’ hair. They’ve decided they’re too grownup now and I miss that bonding time!
These are the type of people who needs kids period. Gentle mothers who take the time to love and care for their children’s hair, and their identities in general.
Facts, also I have the same pfp as you 😙✌
Ana Sofía Pérez Ríos It’s cute! Lol
Um....no everyone deserves to be a mom
Adrienne Marcus Dont EVER say this again. Not everyone deserves to be a mother. Literally NOT everyone. I’ve seen too many abuse stories of controlling and abusive mothers. Some people do not deserve to be parents, everyone CAN be a parent but don’t DESERVE to be. I’m saying people who treat their kids with respect and love deserves to be parents. Never ever say this again because you obviously haven’t had anyone close to you be abused or neglected by the hands of their mothers.
That's beautiful. ❤️
so many people are trying to discredit this woman by saying "That is her job as a mother" and yet so many moms do not take the time to do this. they are so quick to straighten or put relaxer in their child's hair. this baby's hair is HEALTHY! great mom for sure ❤️
Exactly!
Facts
This video makes me so happy as a young black woman .. idc what anyone else says. I appreciate you for trying to interrupt other future mistakes
Exactly! Even black moms because my hair was definitely relaxed at 5 or 6 years old & when I went off to college it took a world of self reflection & an abundance of self love to learn to accept myself and my natural hair. The first semester I left for college I cut all my hair off and let it grow out naturally and I promise you I’ll forever remember how I felt in that moment washing my hair for the first time after that big chop!
Speak on it!
I'M A MAN, AND THE WAY THIS WHITE WOMAN HAS LEARNED ABOUT AND CARED FOR HER BLACK CHILDREN'S HAIR, BROUGHT ME TO TEARS. BEAUTIFUL. I AM AMAZED BY YOUR THOUGHTFULNESS. I CAN TELL YOU WILL RAISE THESE QUEENS WELL! AND I THANK YOU FOR IT!
Thank you 🤗
LOL WHY ARE YOU YELLING
@@clairepruski5466 fr...giving me a headache
JD Ishmael
why you gotta announce that you’re a man lol
*kyle* Maybe because we usually don’t expect men to understand when it’s come to the connection a lot of women have with their hair. 🤷🏽♀️
I wish my mom did this to my hair as a child instead of having it straightened and wearing wigs for like 14 years...... I'm still mad about it and I'm never gonna get over it tbh. Thank you for doing this for your child.
I don't think anyone should have to wear wigs. I think black women and men should be able to wear their hair naturally. I understand curls can be a fuss sometimes, I have them myself. But I absolutely adore the natural look on a woman and a man. I love braids as well, but I love the girls and natural look the most!
@@Beatngu23 I believe it's your choice sometimes you can use wigs to try certain hair colors before you dye your hair or see how a hair style looks before trying it. Or experimenting with hair without damaging your real hair. maybe they just like the look or it makes them feel confident. Also let's not forget wigs are a protective style too!
FrankN Stein was just replying to the original comment, which was traumatizing to her. She wasn’t downplaying wigs. She was more so encouraging the care that’s required to wear your natural hair.
Same first perm at 11
@@wowzers4437 oh I still love wigs for cosplay and fun. But man it's so hot in the state I live in I'm surprised I managed to wear a wig everyday and even in my sleep 👀
“Cute little natural styles...are all this lil baby girl needs”
Yesssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just hollered. YOU GOT IT MAMA!!!!!!!
Tiara Scott YASSSS!! EXACTLY 🥰
Tiara Scott right?!!!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯💯
Tiara Scott it is a fade as different length guards were used on top and on bottom. Very similar but not the same. We did this so the haircut last longer. It grows so fast. In two days is a perfect length fade.
@@ChristyGior8 i
@@ChristyGior8 lol...misplaced this response Super Ma...i forgiveeee you.
These are the types of people that should be adopting children outside of their race. I respect you. Thank you for what you are doing for your daughters ❤️
Yes girl. These are the type of people who should adopt kids periodt. Imagine a couple years from now when she's been at it for years! That little girl hair gonna flourish.
I think she mentioned race because black people are the only people with hair like this so we’re all human but this is about hair. Our hair, more specifically. She did her Thing! She will be unstoppable by fifth grade LOL.
Just to clarify, I didn’t bring up race to be divisive. She is an amazing mom regardless of her race and the race of her children. I said what I said because I’ve seen many children be adopted outside of their race, and as she’s mentioned, moms not take the time to learn or take proper care of their children’s hair , straighten it to conform to Eurocentric beauty standards, the whole 9. I was simply appreciated the effort she has put in bc even black moms get tired of doing our hair.
tag line ^
It takes patience to do what she’s doing and she took the time to learn that’s beautiful fr
Oh baby she did research research cause that baby’s hair looks so healthy and well kept after
Baby girls hair is beautiful and healthy looking. Great job mama you took the time to learn about her hair. 👍👍👍
Theme Fresh I don’t think I understand your question but there is no need for me to be adopted I’m fully self sufficient aside from that I come from a loving family
So true most of them cut the little girls hair...and they go around looking like no one cares..she did an awesome job...
@@melwood2981 periodt
@Theme Fresh Just have to feel some type of way ,don't you?
Is it just me or does everyone else absolutely die of happiness and joy hearing her call all her baby girls baby girl! It’s just something about the way she says it, so inspiring, real and raw! She’s such an amazing momma!!
I love when white parents call their Black girls 'baby girl,' it's so loving.
U can tell it real from the way she say it
There’s literally no excuse to not raise and tend to your kids hair if this lady can sit here and learn and care for her kids hair , I’m knowing this was completely out of her comfort zone. This really makes me happy
Too Miller yea i’m pretty white and my mum didn’t know how to deal with my hair , people used to bully me as a child and say i had witch hair because my hair is textured. I straighten my hair most the time every few days with a heat protectant and i use hair masks often but i do let it rest sometimes, because it’s easier to cope with, i wish my mum knew how to do my hair, I don’t remember her ever doing anything to my hair lol 😂 she cannot braid and i had to teach myself to do my own hair
Girl I wish my mom did this! She took the easy way out and straightened it! But can't blame her she wasn't really knowledgeable about hair! Well natural hair. She just wanted something quick and manageable. Now I myself is learning to love my natural hair and also will teach my daughter (if I have one) to love hers
Why? Because she's white? I'm confused. If this lady?
So true.
M Badger She was very clear in her comment. What is there that you couldn’t understand. I just had my 12 year old boy read it and he comprehended it precisely.
i don’t have kids, why am i watching this? quarantine is getting to me.
Dude same but I am living for it
It’s getting to us all I’m up at 4 a.m. got nothing to do with my life.
Right? I don't even want kids.
I’m extremely Childfree and I don’t even know why I’m here either lol
I honestly started on animal crossing vids literally no idea what happened
Let’s just take a moment to focus on how pretty this little girl is
She's absolutely beautiful!
She truly is.
Ye
Absolutely precious
Stunning
The fact that you mist the hair with water FIRST tells me you really did your research. Thank you for doing what you do.
“It is their crown” ....*starts crying, “yesss honey yasss”*
Girl me too
ME TOO MAN, ME TOO...AMAZING
Yessss I cried I was ready to say something then I listened and was like God Bless this woman...
Ok! I was like yes she knows what’s up! 💗
Yes she really knows what's going on 😍
I’m a black guy with no kids. Idk how I ended up here, but I’m kinda glad I did. Video deadass made me happy inside
I know exactly how you feel. I was like why was this recommended to me...then I watched and had all the warm fuzzies. I just love seeing mama's in general care for Black hair. It is our crown and glory...glad this little lady is going to grow up with a healthy respect for her hair.
Geo mii I wish you peace and positivity
@Geo mii I feel bad for you. This is just a mom. Who loves her child the same as any other mother but wants to do right by her child. I'll pray for you
Geo mii what did you even mean by this? Lowkey be quiet.
I gotta ask, you from NYC?
This makes me so emotional. Most Caucasian parents with children of color want to make their hair straight and banish their African identity. U referred to her hair as a crown 😭😭. We need more ppl in this world like u 💕. #MuchRespect 🥰
banish their identity?? whoa whoa slow down lol
@@aderlinejohnson8566 "we" is not you...you do realize this, correct? your opinion is as smart as you and this does not look smart. barely average.
@Winter Wonder let's ignore ignorance and cast it away. The spirit of stupidity is angering and frustrating lol.
@Winter Wonder u need to chill don't put the race into this
I don’t think they do. It’s us black people that have the issue with hair
She is what's called a real MOTHER !!
1:43 "I have learnt It is their crown. It is their identity. It is what they look in the mirror every single day and then they see and they are proud of. It is part of who they are and for that reason, it was so incredibly important for me to learn how to care for their hair properly. Every single coil, every single strand of their hair needs to be gently cared for appropriately to what their hair specifically needs." 😍😍😍😍😍💜💜💜👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Rachel Mbokane ❤️💯
@@othergeorgea 💜💜
Lol I don’t have any kids why am I watching this
Miriam Shamess same girl
Felt this💀
😂😂
I dont have kids.. why am I tearing up while watching this 😭😭
Miriam Shamess you can learn for the feature
"I've learned it is their crown, it is their identity." Just goes to the heart right there.
This is not our identity. This is just a woman’s overall crown glory.
Amen that is True.
This is triggering I need to adopt some black kids we all do black people 🙁😶😬😬
I thought of India Aries song, “I Am Not My Hair” ..
Mia Loik wait what was triggering?
The world needs more of you. I am so impressed and this made my entire day.
When she said she makes her girls wear satin and silk bonnets on their hair at night and the added they they use satin and silk pillows cases! Come on now this momma know her girls hair culture. Yasssssss 👏🏽. This momma gets it.
Shayz 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Kyle Hines FACTS BRO YOUR GONNA BE LOOKING AMAZING ‼️‼️⚠️
I just want to point out that I've been black and female for over 38 years and didn't know this for the larger part of my life so shout out to her!
@Kyle Hines I'm a frim believer everyone short of being bald or buzzcut, regardless of race or hair texture would benefit from covering their hair at night tbh. When you sleep uncovered all the natural oils and/or product from your hair is transfered to you pillows and ultimately your face. I wonder how many skin problems might be fixed by ppl just covering their hair at night! Ofc it prevents breakage and moisture loss too
@@fatalblue You just convinced me to try it, lol. I usually just put it in a bun to sleep but that probably does worse damage.
She does her hair just like a black mama. If you weren’t flinching when your mama did your hair means she wasn’t doing it right😂
😂😂😂🙌🏾
Facts! 🤣🤣
Very true 😭
That’s the truth ❤️ I would cry the entire time cause the combing and tightness but, my hair would be so cute filled with ballies and barrettes
Yes yes lol
Finally a woman raising black kids is learning how to do their hair instead of them walking around looking like who shot John . Thank you ❤️❤️
Even black woman need to learn I be seeing 5th graders with doodoo braids
Cordaejah Ridley LMFOA💀💀
SHE SAID WHO SHOT JOHN💀💀💀💀💀 chill out🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Who shot jhon 😂 but yes her honesty and the fact that she said her hair is beautiful, and the way she described it I was like yass and she took the time yyo do it and understand it I love this video.
Your comment had me laughing so hard 😂😂
I am a white mom fostering a black 4 yr old girl. Thank you for sharing this. We are just beginning our hair journey and I am thankful for any advice.
Anytime good luck!
When you said “don’t wash it daily” so many white people don’t understand that we don’t accumulate oil over night like all over races and I almost cried because I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to have that conversation! 💕🙌🏾🥰
Exactly! I can't even tell you how many conversations I had with non-black people trying to explain that we aren't supposed to wash our hair everyday. It's so stressful when people hear that and assume our hair is "dirty". That daughter is very lucky to grow up with a mother who is so knowledgeable in natural hair, especially because she doesn't have it herself.
@Brax It shouldn't even be washed every week either. 2-3 times a month is more than enough, especially when its being protectively styles
@Brax True. If I go more than 7 days, I can tell. I have scalp issues though, so I can't let it go too long.
Brax okay smartie pants
you DO produce the same amount of oil like every other race but it isnt distributed around your hair like others.
I am not black and I am CRYING. tears rolling. she called her daughters hair a crown.
I know at first I thought she was talking about the crown of their head like giving a tip on how to deal with a lopsided or irregular crown but she meant like a princess crown 😭❤️
😭😭😭
You can tell she has researched black UA-cam sites via buzz words we use
Because it is her crown
Like real tears?
The baby’s hair is HEALTHY! And that’s all that matters.
Cats O OD HEALTHY and long asf she did that. That’s how I know she’s not just talking, she is taking CARE of her baby’s hair.
Sure is!!
I get chills just listening to you. I was interracial adopted and my mom had no clue about black hair. She did occasionally reach out to other black foster moms about hair care but my goodness not like you! She never understood black hair care is part of my identity. You rock!!
She’s an African American girl that got out of the foster system, lives in northern Cali, and has a woman that took the time to research how to do her hair...why the dislikes?
I'm curious also. Over 1k. Like, why?
Quita Cole most are bots
Because some people are bitter and don’t like seeing people of different races adopting children of color. I’m black and would adopt myself, you don’t and shouldn’t choose a child based off their race 🤷🏽♀️
Some BW won't even take the time...
They're just a bunch of racists.
When she pulled the silk scarf/durag out I knew she knew what she was doing!!
Imperfectly Ashe RIGHT! I said “Thank you ma’am!”
Yes, I kept thinking I hope she puts a scarf on her head. Then "Bam"!! She pulled out the same exact purple durag scarf I use on my 6 year old daughter's hair. Perfect🥰🥰🥰
Imperfectly Ashe lol!! Yep!!!
Right!!! When she mentioned Bonnet and silk pillow case I knew!!
When she said no perms & no heat when they’re this young I teared up 😭💯❤️
Brittany Hill Foreal I don’t get why parents do
Key Moten They do it because it’s more manageable...I think.
I know Bht why am I tearing up it must be tears of Joy!
PINK 23system I think it’s because she really took the time to learn and Care for her children’s hair. She wanted them to have the healthiest, maintained hair and is willing to put in all the work that comes with natural hair. GO MOM!
U inspires me. Gal I applaud you.
I’m a white guy tryin to learn about his adopted sisters hair and how to help her with it this video was beautiful and I appreciate it.
Im a black women all I can say is thank you.Why did this make me 😢
Because she genuinely cares about her daughters culture
This made me cry too😥
Weak.
@@NonameWriter Not weak..Just love and passion for all human race.
@@NonameWriter how is being happy about stuff like this being "weak"?
As a Black women, she’s more informed and knows more than a lot of African American mothers out there
Edit: Why do people have to twist and turn the comment I made above?
Speaking as a black women, I have encountered damage to my hair because of perms, and “just not knowing”. Born in the 80’s so many women close to my age can relate to not having UA-cam to teach us or internet for that matter. Greasing the scalp with petrolatum or mineral oil, perms, improperly straightening hair etc.. Yes, there have been huge improvements and healthy “hair consciousness” and movements in our African American community but there are still some women/girls still not informed and I am shocked that women are still perming their young girls hair due to the amount of info out there. But , please people for once quit trying to twist a comment into a million different directions.
As for the women in the video, thanks for sharing this to mothers out there that need to know. That is how most of us here learned by sharing and watching UA-cam videos.
That is actually very true. Too many of these girls walking around with damaged hair.
And fyi, perms can be damaging if done improperly however a child can have a relaxer and still have healthy hair.
Seriously? Who do you think she learned the styles and techniques from? Black women....
Jessica A she would've learned them from black women however, these women would've been very informed on how to do hair for them and their kids, some women maybe don't quite know as much. She's clearly really informed though and honestly well on her!
@@jessicaa9470 Dont quite know why you have to keep trying to knock this amazing women down. Please learn to have more respect for others, and from your other comment, dont refer to her as just "this white woman". She obviously has a name.
She really put beads in this little girls hair. She’s getting the full little black girl experience 😭😭 I so happy for her you’re an amazing mother.
I always put beads in my babies hair.....both of them. I am going to be honest....I was so happy when we had a boy because his hair wouldn't be so tough to do. I am again hoping for a boy. But I love my girls hair. I got so mad when a white family member straightened her hair....not once but twice....in one week! I tired to be nice at first but the second time I told her to do what she wants with her kid's hair but dont touch my daughter's hair again. My girls are past the age of beads but they loved them when they were young. I had to have my mama in Missouri send us hair stuff for the kids. I also am not able to corn row. I am trying though. I bought a head with African hair off the internet to practice. The kids dont sit still for me to practice. I had to pay extra because I wanted to use it for corn rows and lock practicing. I got a cheaper one and all the hair just fell out. I teach my kida about their roots. I have found ao much African art here. They dont appreciate it so they sell it cheap. Its worth money and they have no idea. I will be the white mama that passes the African heritage to my babies. I am not afraid to ask for help either. Not to mention, I believe there are genetic factors that they have that would surprise you. You can take the girl out of Africa but you cant take the African out of the girl. I mean that in a very positive way. So no offense meant if anyone takes it that way. It beautiful.
I'm mixed with a white Mom and my Mom used to do this for me! Christmas colours and Halloween colours and themes when she could lol I loveeeeed the beads
@@amelouise6572 Practice doing the cornrows on your kids. Its not only a bonding experience for both of you, you wont cornrow the same on a plastic head as a real one. I used to have to sit for 5 hours so my white mother could braid my whole head. Your kiddos can too. Start by maybe doing one or two braids on the side as a cute little style for them and work up to more. Glad to hear you're trying to such to give your kids a part of their heritage. I wish I would have had that. Didnt try Caribbean food til I was a teenager lol
My other tip which changed my hair completely is the LOC method and adding protein in my regime.Its much much more managable.
I'm mixed and missed out on this my mom didnt ever learn about my hair. I cant wait when I have kids to treat their hair like the precious gift it is.
low-key I was jealous of my black classmate in second grade when she got beads in her hair. they looked like so much fun!
Yeeeeessss she said "no child relaxers" and "every no and then leave it down or a loose ponytail, let it breathe" yes yes yes
Every black little girl remembers when their mom had to put beads and braids in their hair ❤️😅, love this!!
I'm watching this baby flinch 😂 that's how you know your Mama is getting IN there. You learn a lot from your Mama (and vice versa) during these hair sessions ❤️
@@dacutestdimples right?! But what a good girl. I didn't stay nearly that still with my tender headed ass
@@ChristyGior8 XD Don't we all?! I appreciate the way you celebrate your babies and encourage others to do the same.
@@kylovesart 🤣🤣 oh my lol. That was my little sister all day long! The goal: just don't get popped with the comb from flinching too much LMAO
@@ChristyGior8 the beauty supply store it will be cheaper
She grabbed the durag and started talking about silk pillowcases and I was like this women knows
Scar Love everyone needs a silk pillowcase if they don’t have a scarf😭
When you put the satin scarf on your little princess at the end, I almost shed a tear.
You know!!
I cried
I know right?! I felt like I was about to tear up watching this as well
This is a positive & completely involved mom.
Learning to comb & style Afican American hair & not hurt her hair & look pretty is a big skill. The time & love of this mom is blessing these children's lives so very much. Great job mama Christy. Wow!!!😅💞💖👆🤾🤾🌅🎊🎈🎁💝🎊🎊😄😂🎉😄
I jumped to the end because of your post... so cute
as a black teenager i’d just like to say i absolutely love this. i know you don’t need thanks or praise, but thank you for learning how to properly care for your daughters hair from products to styles to bonnets and silk pillow cases
My high school friend reached out to me when she hit a wall with her daughter's hair. I was so touched. I gave her the low down, the breakdown of how often, how to moisturize. Whew I was emotional. ❤
Love it!
This woman went out of way to make sure she properly care for her daughter’s hair. She is most definitely right. Our hair is a crown and many parents just want to put relaxer or straighten it because it seems like a burden. We love our crowns and we need to show them to the world more!!! Thank you so much! This honestly makes me cry tears of happiness 😭❤️❤️❤️ Ma’am I applaud and respect you greatly!!!!
And you can tell she does it often, because she’s just siting there and helping her mom by holding her hair ❤️❤️❤️
Yassss!!!! So much love in this video. Will u do my hair? Haha. I was learning new tips for myself from this video🤣
She Africanxo I like how she learned about the type of care needed. Like black women don’t wash their hair consistently everyday and the reasons why how to Detangle, not using perms and relaxers etc
No one will probably see this, but what are relaxers? (Not my hair type. But my parents are wanting to foster and I’ve been trying to learn about different skin and hair types).
@@Theelderscrolls52 a relaxer is like a perm that straightens the hair. And just like a perm it can cause damage.
As a black woman who is a hairstylist, who have worked with all kinds of texture hair, I'm so impressed with the patience you showed in caring for your baby's hair. I can actually feel the love that you have for you're children. Keep up the great work Mama. It was a blessing to see this!!
🥰 Thank you Stacy.
@@ChristyGior8 so, questions: does your dauthers always have to get assistant we their hair when they are older?? can they do it alone?? I know very little about african american hair. would lke to learn.
Zaira Bandy I do it now and teach them as I go so that they may be able to do it when they’re older on their own.
@@ChristyGior8 Thanks for the answer. If I may suggest something.... search Mindy Mcknight here or instagram. She made a new hair style line and is in walmart. She also adopted two african american children. The hair line is called: hairitagebymindy
It will totally change your routine. Hope it helps. xoxo
Yes Stacy!!! This was so heartwarming!
Mad respect for you!!!! “I’m their mama and it’s my job”!!! The fact that you know and understand the importance of African American hair care is tremendous!! You may not even know how special this is! We need more mamas like you!!! You are so appreciated!!!! We see you girl!!!
You took the words out of my mouth Keisha. I love how she says momma. It’s cute. She’s definitely inspirational. Beautiful just beautiful.
. People need to see this. She is the DEFINITION of unconditional love. Her and her husband are what I pray me and my future husband can be half of. And 791 dislikes for what lol. Such hateful people ima pray for y’all 😅🙏🏽
I was saying the same thing
@@ChristyGior8 Right...they dont like it yet they won't do it themselves. And yes...im a black woman. Keep doing what your doing for those babies. It's THEIR lives that are being changed bc of the impact ur making for them. Nobody else matters.
@@DrStephanieMillerWilliams what a hateful comment.....
@@DrStephanieMillerWilliams that's so low class and narrow minded. Would you rather see this little girl grow up in an orphanage or go foster home to foster home? You'd rather have her have no one to call mommy and daddy just because of their racial difference? There are so many orphaned childen in the world who dont get the opportunity to get get what this little girl is getting. We dont need anymore newborns. Black children are also one of the least picked. This little girl will grow up in a wonderful home all thanks to this womderful woman and her husband. You're so insecure. I cant believe youd rather see this little girl have no family over a family who happens to be white that will love her unconditionally. All i can say is that i feel sorry for you.
People can dislike whatever they want
When she took 10 minutes to get that part right.... I knew then.... I knew then that she was invited to the cookout and is allowed to take several plates home. 🙏🏾
HONESTLY THO THAT IS SO TRUE bless her heart
Yes b/c my White step-mama took ZERO pride in STRAIGHT parts. I had to learn to do my own hair by the 5th grade. I was embarrassed by my crooked parts. She tries tho.
Facts lol
Yessss! I had so much respect for her parting those sections.
Severalllllllll honey!
Everyone doesn't deserve children but that woman is such a mom...😩🌼
This gives me a lot of hope for all of the other interracial families who simply don’t know how to take care of African American hair
I just love your willingness to understand raising African American children. That’s so awesome to me

THANK YOU! Thank You! thank you!
Of what?
@@Mika-lz3bn you STFU

As a black woman who was adopted by a white family, hearing you say, "I am her mama, it is my job" just brought me so much joy. I wish I, or most children, in interracial adoptions or interracial families had this at home. Best wishes to y'all.
I’m sorry I know this is personal, but did you not feel like your adopted mom was your mom?
I ask mainly because I know I want to adopt children when my time comes.
Girl I feel you. I was also adopted by a white family, I agree with this so much
What was your experience with you hair growing up with a white family?
My son is biracial and am so so proud to be his mama. He is beyond handsome and smart. He's so funny too and my little best friend.
She’s going to grow up loving her hair 😊
Yaani Matt yep and she’s going to have a whole lot of hair too if her mama keeps this up. Kudos!

AS SHE SHOULD.
True💜
This is DEDICATION 101! Thank you for educating yourself so that you can best take care of your children.
I am a black woman and I am SO lazy....I'm not even gonna lie😆 I just keep my hair cut really short because I HATE doing my natural hair. But, you are awesome and everything you are saying is so very true. With our various hair types, you do have to be mindful of the products used because what works for one may not work for the other. But, great job, Mom!!!👍
ii swear im not crying
😭😭😭😭😭😭 day 6 of quarantine just got better 100%
Shawty416 I’m in tears 😭 this is a guardian angel mom!!!
Me too!!
Same feeling 😭😭idk why this made me so emotional. But it feels like a beautiful shift. I feel the love and so many times I don’t see it or feel it from the way our children look whilst in the care of different “race” parents. I can’t express how beautiful this is to me. I respect your mothering regardless of race or color the love is felt through the screen because you took the opportunity to educate yourself for the betterment of your child. That is love.
It must the onions 🧅 🤷🏽♀️
Shawty416 Yesssssss!!!! This made me cry in the most joyous way!
These are the moments she will treasure and remember when she’s older. I’m only 18 but I deeply appreciate the times mom would sit me down on the floor in between her lap and do my hair. ❤️🙏🏾
Yes!! Exactly I find myself thinking of that very experience watching this video!! 💛
Absolutely
I’m a Social Worker, I will definitely recommend this video to my foster parents! Great job!!! 🥰
That is so cute!!!!
Rock Chick Supremeo Sure. Because there are never situations where families are unfit to raise their kids. There may be issues and abuses pf power within the foster care system, but let’s not pretend that all fostered kids are taken from safe and loving families.
Rock Chick Supremeo what the heck are you talking about.
I watch so many of these videos myself, because I want to foster kids when I Get a little older, and I really want to foster black kids, and I want to know how I can care for their beautiful hair in the best way possible
Rock Chick Supremeo I have seen you post and hate on me for years. I’m tired of you. I know you lost your child, but that doesn’t give you the right to harass me or anyone else that has adopted. Stalking and harassing is a crime.
I've worked as a social worker for nearly 20 years and have taught these hair tips to my culturally mixed families! Thank you for your willingness to learn and for your beautiful loving heart!!!
Someone is chopping onions because these tears are just running.
As a black girl i hated my hair. I am now 28 and still figuring out how to care for it. Thank you for allowing her to know from young.
Girl I'm 28 and I feel the exact same way. I love that UA-cam has opened up a space for so many black women to discuss the hair and allow women like her to be able to take care of her daughter's hair.
The fact that this lady took upon herself to learn the proper way to care for her daughter's hair and did an amazing job doing it, I applaud her!
Her hair is gonna be so long and beautiful by the time she’s a teenager
Not if she keeps putting all those rubber bands in it. They cause breakage.
It already is lol
@ they're done with care on moisturized hair and not left in for eternity.
@@rhondagary351 Did you see how dry her hair was as she was taking them out? Her hair type dries out fast so unless she is spritzing water and oil or applying some type of conditioner, her hair is going to break.
It didn't look dry to me. If you have African American hair you know looks can be deceiving. The hair was up a week little to no damage likely.
Am a black woman and don’t remember my mom bonding with over hair braiding you are a great mom
I hate to bring race into this as it should be viewed just like any other mom daughter hair video but...I'm black and thank you for this I appreciate you more bc of your authenticity. I would appreciate more white people if they followed this woman's simple intentions! Peace ✌️☮️
I mean, we can't pretend race doesn't matter in cases like this. It introduces some unique challenges in childcare in this instance, and Mom breaks it down beautifully. Acknowledge and celebrate differences rather than sweeping them under the rug!
@Game Hackz that's cute but I've seen how pretending to not see differences can be problematic. For example, if this mom tried to treat her AA daughter's hair the same as her Caucasian daughter's hair, the AA child would not have the healthy, beautiful hair she has today. It would probably ravage her self esteem and make it look like her parents don't take care of her.
Another example: we need to acknowledge race in order to undo the harm done by others who discriminate based on ethnicity.
@Game Hackz what about nascar! Sorry...I just...bye
Mike Ken What makes you qualified to put down black women? Smh
@Mike Ken you're a piece of 💩 for that one I knew someone would come along and put black women in their mouth in an effort to praise this woman for what black women have been doing for years. My black daughter is in college and me and her have a very tight bond we do everything together she is my all. How dare you.
My foster Mom took pride in my hair growing up. Even though she was of a different race. Much respect😊
Every tender headed black girl can relate to all the squirming and wiggling she’s doing. Love this
She looks in pain 😭
Blanca Dorantes nah I don’t think she’s in pain. I think it’s a mix of being a bit nervous about the camera, being tired of sitting there, and maybe scared a little of a future pull that’s too tight.
Oh yeah watching her in pain gave me flashbacks, but you know that means she doing it right😂
@@sisteradventures7148 yea pain comes with the process
Blanca Dorantes
She’s not in pain she’s just sensitive on the head it’s quite normal for younger children
Tip: Soak the rubber bands in Olive oil before you put them in the Hair to help prevent breakage. ❤️
you guys are awesome
great tip !
This isba great tip, thank you!!
This mama has done her research so incredibly well. Her girl’s hair is so healthy and beautiful. Can definitely tell it has been very well taken care of. As a black woman (not African American) I just want to say kudos! We have a saying here that says “how do you notice if a little black or mixed girl has a white mother? Answer: Their hair is a mess!” After this video, this saying is no longer accurate lol
It's not superiority or anything. Black people who aren't from the states just aren't American so the term African American isn't relevant. It's a big thing for Canadians, here, the PC term isn't African Canadians, it's just black people or POC.
Lola Y there’s black people all over the world sweetie. Personally I don’t identify as African American even though I live in the US because I’m NOT American. Perhaps they want to detach from the awful mess that is America and it has nothing to do with African American women 🤷🏾♀️
Lola Y it’s nothing against American black women, it just doesn’t make sense to label yourself something you aren’t, and in the process lose your identity. For example, I am jamaican not african american simply because i am not american so it would be stupid to call myself one. Furthermore, my nationality and heritage is a big part of my identity and i would rather not eliminate it from my ‘label’. And p.s we don’t drink brown water or live in mud huts, and everyone gets ashy sometimes. :)
Lola Y because they literally are not from America. African American only applies to people of African descent that were born in America. If they are black and from any other country then they are not African American...no one is on a high horse, maybe it just sounded weird to you
brewill95 the point was that them pointing out that they weren’t African American was not relevant at all, not to the video, not to the rest of her comment.
ALL THE CHILDREN IN THIS HOUSE WILL BE SUCH WELL ROUNDED PEOPLE . I LOVE IT.
Just a shout-out to Ace. He's such good brother. I saw when he got his sister a snack, a blanket to cover up and kissed her. You raising an excellent young lad there Christy.
I have noticed how caring he is and I think his a mama's boy 😊
Lol as a mom of seven i wonder how many times you tell him to sit down! Lol
I caught that too!! So sweet
You tube randomly recommended this video and I don't even have kids, but you have me in tears listening to how much you love and honor your girls. I wish every child had this kind of love.
Even most black parents sometimes don’t even want to deal with doing their own or their child’s hair because it’s too much. It’s amazing how u can take care of her so well 👍🏽💯💯💯💯
kevbandi ❶ ... you really don’t have to disrespect black parents to uplift a white woman. Most black mothers do take care of their child’s hair. How do you think this woman learned how to do it? These are all tips, techniques, and styles created by black women to care for black hair.
Jessica A ,,this white woman“ why you gotta be so dismissive, that tone of yours is poisonous
Jessica A yet you’re lowkey being rude yourself with the “this white woman “ thing . a lot of black parents ( yes i am part black myself) perm & relax their child’s hair half the time & by the time their child is older their natural hair isn’t even beautifully natural anymore . say i’m wrong & you’ll be lying to yourself cause people in the black community know this is a fact
kevbandi ❶ let’s not generalize “most” black parents. I’m a black woman who have only ever been around black people and we adore our hair and our children’s hair.
TRUE.. I've seen so many matted heads of hair and shrinkage and just dry damaged hair on sweet innocent 2 and 3 year olds 😥 we should be caring for their crowns for sure
I love the fact that you have educated yourself on how to maintain your daughters hair. Small tip for her 4c type of hair water is her hairs best friend it allows you to use less product . Less is more ! Oils are also her hairs best friend. Ayurveda herbs and chebe , clay masks may be something you want to look into as well. These will help make it easier to maintain length, strength, and manageability. These are herbs that will be essential for her hair because they date back to her ancestors and history as a whole.Enjoy this journey and stay blessed.
In other words, keep a spray bottle full of water to use while detangling. This uses less product which attracts dust. Also try the wrapped rubber bands so the hair wont rip. Shes beautiful
So happy to see this. I am also 4c type hair. WATER IS OUR BEST FRIEND and conditioner ofcourse.
GREAT JOB Mama!!!
Depends on not just her hair TYPE but how her hair reacts. I don’t use water on my hair as much and I also don’t get product buildup.. but water drys my hair out and I have 4c hair.
@@deasiadotson7613 Me too. I dont use water as much but moisture and oil. Not coconut oil for my hair though. It dries mine out.
Yeah, i was thing the same thing she doin great. Put put less prouduct in the hair it helps the hair maintain its texture.
She needs to go and speak at the classes for foster parents and Foster adoptive parents to empower them to care for their children's hair and not to become discouraged. This blessed my heart hearing her talk the way she did
Veiria Rebuilt Johnson I agree!
Agreed
Veiria Rebuilt Johnson thank you 🥰🥰
I had to come back. You made me sooo emotional. Im a black mother of 4 children 1 daughter. Your the best. Their are some black women who doesn't take the time out to do half the dedication that you put in to your kids smh. Your a blessing a angle thank you.
U know this mother ain’t letting nobody else in her child head period 🤣
PERIODT!!!
That’s a fact she’ll probably be standing over them with a microscope 🥴🥴🥴🤣🤣🤣
Lateefa Sabore 😂😂😂😂😂
@@diamondsandpearls899 bare retakes in the parting fr😌
Lateefa Sabore PERIOD
She's being modest. She's an uncertified expert in my eyes. When you move with love race is never an issue. God bless you being a great mom!!!
PasSion Waldon THEEEEEE BEST COMMENT! 😍💕#movewithlove
This woman knows more than some of our mothers did (which also wasn’t there fault but that’s another convo)
Yesss!
@@tanyaericacd To be honest !!! Us younger girls know more about our hair than our moms and grandma's ever did . Thanks to UA-cam I became natural in 2017 against my mom's will and my hair is all the way down my back .
@@PrincessYonna1 congratulations on your hair journey!! 💕
See how the kids in the background interact with each other you can see she is in a loving home ..
Qiyonne JONES At 8:48 the little boy puts a blanket on his sibling and I- 😭
I noticed that!!!
Aerolyn Shaw He put pillows on his sibling I believe haha.
Qiyonne JONES I took note of that too. Lovely.
I'm a white chick, and I saw this on my local news just now. I had a few friends who struggled with their hair. And just knowing how much goes into African American hair plus the unfortunately negativity :(, this literally brought a couple tears to my eyes! Thank you for being the difference! They have gorgeous hair, and so many beautiful styles. Please, embrace your hair, ladies !!! ❤️
What a pretty lil girl she’s lucky to have an adoptive parent who actually willing to learn about her hair and how to upkeep it. Even white moms who’s biological kids are mixed lots of the time can end up neglecting the fact their hair is different and I see it allot, not every time but allot so this is beautiful! You’re awesome and I have respect for ur willingness and open mindedness.
THE MOMENT SHE SAID THEIR HAIR IS THEIR CROWN BOO I KNEW THIS MOMMA CARED. GREAT BEGINNERS VIDEO FOR MOMS WHO NEED HELP.
This little girl will grow up to be a QUEEN 'cause she got an amazing mom like you !
Emma - She's already a Queen. But yes it does take a village to maintain a clear vision of such.
Emma - YES!!!!!!!!! ❤️
Great job! Some black women are just learning how to care for their hair, I’m so glad for the natural hair movement! We’re going back to our roots and not assimilating to European standards
Sis said "it's a bonding time". YES YES YES!!!! My youth was spent sitting between my mom's legs whjle she braided my hair. It's really a bonding moment. 😍😍😍
Great video!!!
Someone give this woman her props. The whole point of this video is to show and explain to people that everyone's hair is different and you MUST figure out what works for your baby's hair. It takes research, trial and error, and effort. She put the WORK in! Amen to that!
Bingo you are absolutely right
As a social worker and a former child welfare worker, working in foster care system....foster, adopt etc...I am so impressed with this mommy's approach. So culturally sensitive. What a great class to teach to others. Great job!
She did her hair in the kitchen! Yes mama! She def did some research 🤣👍
I know everyone is really in love with this woman and how she does her child’s hair but can we also take a second to acknowledge how beautiful and loving her family is in the background?? Specifically 11:32 when her kids are all cuddled up on the couch! It’s sooooo adorable and I can just tell they’re such a loving family 💛
I noticed that too! This is amazing!
Yes! Around the 08:29 mark, you can see one of her sons give his little sister something and he kissed her cheek! How loving!
🥰🥰
Rogelyn Jingco naaaaaaw that’s so sweet 😍😍😍
Thank you for pointing this out, I couldn't stop watching her do her hair so I wouldn't have noticed;SO glad you said something bc it's precious 😭
I love that you took the time and made it a priority to learn to take care of your girls crowns. You go mom! I hope other parents of children with textured hair find it necessary because it is!!!!
Indeed, especially since many Afro *women* are still learning to appreciate, have the social stamina and care for afro hair.
Hear moisture game is on point ❤️
Right. My friend has a white adoptive mom and her mother just relaxed her hair. Now she’s an adult figuring out how to do her own hair and she has no idea
I care for patients at a hospital, and I often wash and style my ladies' hair when they are too weak to do it on their own. All of the hygiene products provided at the hospital are designed for caucasian hair which is sooooo frustrating. I learned to take care of my curls from my lovely black neighbor, and I now use products designed for "ethnic" hair. I've decided to buy an extra bottle of my favorite root rinse and keep it in my locker for my patients with braids, weaves, and natural kinks and curls:) It's so important to be inclusive--even when it comes to hair care!
I have a white friend with some crazy kinky hair. I took her to the dominicans and she'd never had her hair so straight and silky before. I told her she just needs to accept her hair is like black hair and she had to maintain it different. It's more work but worth it. Thanks for taking care of the elderly! I know you are lifting a weight off their shoulders
@@CharlyPhilly I relate so much with your friend! For the longest time, I thought my hair was just a MESS. But it just needed some TLC:)
🙌🏾❤️
You are a beautiful person. Keep shining your light. ❤️
As a fellow healthcare worker, you are awesome.
never forget to remind them that their natural hair is beautiful!
I honestly love her daughter's hair and I'll be betting she wishes she had her hair. So beautiful.
“it is their crown. it is their identity.” i’m not crying, you are 😭!
I didnt understand this one..I'm not crying , you are? Why say : you are ?
Leona Lace it’s more like in the moment when you’re emotional and someone asks if you’re ok when you clearly aren’t so you tell them they’re not ok instead 😂
Girlllll that part
"It is their identity, it is their crown. It's what they look at in the mirror everyday." 😍 love that!!
@@OfficialCarlaLorraine Okay?
This reminds me of my own childhood. My mother has traditionally straight, Hispanic hair and when I was younger she would study the hair patterns of lil black girls on the bus and try to do it with me at home. Your baby will thank you when she’s older for being able to give her this kind of love and understanding the importance of our hair.
You had me chuckling 😁... Pictured your mom spying on little kids on the bus. Your mom really cared for you
b b this is so sweet lol
You have a great mom
It's funny seeing everyone's nice comments when in actuality my mother was a mentally ill, boy-obsessed, abusive monster. Take care though y'all!
This made me emotional. Grew up with relaxers in my hair.. took years to get it natural and I’m still learning how to style it. I have 3c/4a hair. This was very beautiful to watch keep it up ❤️❤️
this comment section is the most positive one i’ve ever seen on youtube
Word still scrolling looking for a bad one not one yet awesome actually💜💙🖤
I just got here and I was afraid! So happy it’s supportive!
Sure she cleaned out the haters.
It better
@@hannahmassenburge2492 u
You know there was definitely some trolls
As a black woman, this is heart warming!! I’ve seen many in your position not invest in learning about black hair and not do anything to their children’s hair. You have not only educated yourself but you are killing it SiS!! I’m so proud of you and when your daughters get older they will be so proud that you their mother!! New subbi
I love that your daughters are able to have a classic black experience with having their mother doing their hair for hours 😊
Hhhhooouuurrrrrrssssss. Lol
"Classic black experience" is a whole ass mood when it comes to our hair!🤣 the amount of "tumps" I got from my mum in my head because I was squirming was real🤣
Black hair is amazing. God made it extra special, we can do so many styles with our hair. I celebrate you for celebrating our children in your home.
