Mixed Textures

 

Most women who are racially mixed feel that they have the best and worst hair traits from each ethnicity. While not quite as kinky-curly as purely ethnic hair, one tends to have masses of curl. The hair also tends to dry out easily and can be frizzy. Here are a few tips to help you tend to your curls.

First of all, don't over-shampoo. Limit your shampoo to twice a week. feel free to wet your hair down everyday if you need to. Just make sure you use conditioner only and no shampoo. this will cleanse your hair and take care of the frizz problem.

Avoid products that contain heavy oils and sheen products, as well as those that are designed to "clarify" the hair. The former will only weigh down your hair, while the latter will dry it out.

Allow the hair to air-dry naturally, or if you need to dry it more quickly use a diffuser attachment on a blow-dryer on the lowest heat setting. Just don't over-dry the hair.
