Answer 1

Girlfriend you've got me laughing over here.. regular black people hair.. but yeah I know what you mean.

Trust me when i say there is NO MAGIC PRODUCT that will your hair go from nappy to curly... unless it has a chemical base.

A texturizer on your hair will make it curly and like "mixed peoples hair" but you can't put a texturizer on top of a relaxer.. if you've got a relaxer you'll have to cut it all off, and put the texturizer on the new growth only.. Otherwise you'll have a hott-azz mess on your hands, lots of damage, and stripped hair.

If you want to give the illusion of waves/body.. you can braid your hair while wet in small sections, sit under the dryer, then take it down.. It will have lots of little crinkles.. but u know that is not a long lasting option.. a few days max.

Embrace what God blessed you with and make it work for you.. if not.. get a curly weeve.

Answer 2

I would like to know the answer to that question as well. I am a mother of a mixed child who's hair I had no idea how to take care of. I am white, my ex. is Puerto Rican and black mix. My daughter's hair has been a nightmare all her life. She is 20 now and still hates it. It is not soft like most mixed hair, is is corse but when she gets it to lay in curls it is real nice. But it doesn't last very long. And when it gets wet.....it puffs out....

Answer 3

Since hair texture can vary greatly I'll say this. Leave your conditioner on after washing it and with your head up side down scrunch your hair while drying it with the dryer on medium. Too much power can blow out any wave pattern you may get. Once your hair is only a little damp then generously apply mousse and continue drying.
