What are good hairstyles for biracial hair?

Question

My hair is about to my shoulders. It is really thick in the back and frizzes from the humidity of Southern Georgia. Any suggestions on good ways to manage and style for first day of school? And no stupid stuff. ONLY answer if you have african american/biracial hair or knows how to deal with my kind of hair.

Answer 1

Hi, I'm biracial too, so this is coming for a person with a hairtype that is similar to yours, not a person of another ethnicity with curly hair. There IS a difference. Anyway...

I live in the south too, and I understand your dilemma. I hunted and searched for the right products for my hair, it took a lot of trial and error, but I finally figured out what works. I learned that most black hair care products are too heavy for my hair, and most of the ones made for white people weren't very effective. One of the biggest tips I can give you is - avoid hair care products with mineral oil or petroleum! They're cheap ingredients that companies use as fillers to make a bigger profit, and in the process, it's harmful to our hair. It's heavy, and it coats the hair's shaft, locking out moisture, and making the hair dry and brittle.

So contrary to what our relatives taught us, don't put grease or pomades in your hair or on your scalp - it's one of the worse things you can do it it. Instead, opt for light oils, like tea tree oil, castor oil, carrot oil, etc. You can find this in the beauty supply store. One of my favorite moisturizers is Elasta QP's mango butter moisturizer. It makes your hair so silky and healthy looking... I promise that if you'll try it, you'll be addicted!

This is how I create my favorite easy style: I wash my hair with Nexxus Therappe Shampoo, condition with Nexxus Humectress conditioner (using the right shampoo/conditioner is important when trying to beat the frizz), gently detangle with a wide tooth comb (never use a brush), apply John Frieda's extra strength frizz ease serum to my damp hair, then I section it off and two-strand twist each section into medium sized braids all over. If you like deeper waves, you can use fewer, larger braids. I let it air dry, and the next day, I unbraid my hair, finger comb it, and apply a little oil or oil sheen, and voila, I have a head full of bouncy, frizz-free waves that will last a few days. You can also set your damp hair with buns, or wrap your twists around rollers. I suggest you experiment with this look a few times before school to be sure that you like it.

You can use the same technique above for flat ironing, except, instead of setting your hair, you let it air dry (blow dryers only create frizziness and damage). When I flat iron my hair, I always section it off with hair clips, because it's really thick and it gets in the way. The Frizz Ease helps it say frizz free, longer.

If you like to brush your hair up into a ponytail, use a 100% boar bristle brush, it's best for our hair, and it doesn't damage, because damaged hair is more prone to frizziness and puffiness. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

for frizzy hair its always best to avoid heat, like hairstraighteners and intense heat from blowdryers. i always use a deep conditioning shampoo and conditioner. the product i use is Dove intense moiture 2in1, but if that doesnt do it for u, try Infusium products and anti-frizz leave in conditioners. one of my friends probably has the worst frizzy hair ive ever seen, shes tried everything, but nothin works. i think it just depends on what type of hair you have, u just have to keep trying different products. u can even try askin a hairstylist at a salon, they know more about frizzy hair than anyone.
