good that you're asking- my cousins mum is white and doesn't have a clue about hair and just lets it be, which one shouldn't as this makes it harder for the hair to grow.
first comb hair- make a parting ( good partings is the most important thing ) then take a section of hair ( from where u want the braid to start ) and just start plaiting ( just like u would on white hair ) up till now u just been plaiting, here comes the tricky bit- take a bit of hair from just below where u started and carry on plaiting ( tip: try and take a even amount, first from left then right ) the trick is to keep the hair tight. i myself am mixed raced and it took me ages to learn, but the more often u do it the better u get. it that didn't help u can do lots of "normal" plaits- but they wont stay tidy as long as the others ( see above ) it u really cant do it : ask someone who can to do your child's hair ( loads of teenagers do it for pocket money- the younger the tenn- the less you'll pay--> while they doing it watch and learn- that's how i learnt

You should either take her to a salon or take her to someone who can do it and teach you at the same time. It is important for your daughter who has this type hair to feel confident about it and herself.
The biggest help for you will to get some grease, water and a good brush, wet her hair, part it, put some grease in it, brush the grease through to the end and then put a rubber band or a hair ball on it, then two strand twist and put a barrett or hair ball on the end of it. Her hair will stay neat for about 2 or 3 days especially if you make her put a hair cap on before going to bed.

U pay a professional to braid it up and take it out. Perhaps they can show you while they are doing it. But until you are absolutely sure about what you are doing, please pay someone else to do it. Improper braiding can lead to major hair loss and pain for you child. Oh and Mylasha hunny, biracial scalps are no more sensitive or softer than an African American Scalp. Sheesh.

The braids that would probaly last longer would be cornrows(braided straight to the back)... But u have to remember the fact that's since she's bi-racial that u would have to braid her hair softer than they braid a normal black person's hair because her scalp is softer and more sensative...

Someone has to show you, something you really can't read and figure it out,just put it in a ponytail and braid from there. Even if hes a boy. I'm Dominican and my sons father is Mexican, my sons hair comes to his waist (no exaggeration) I would never put cornrows in his hair, just a ponytail sometimes braided.

Take your child to a hair salon which specializes in braiding African American hair. They can help you care for the hair at home.

My niece also had this problem. She finally asked a neighbor of the same race to teach her how.. worked wonderfully. Good Luck?
