If you have a mixed baby..?

Question

Is his hair straight or curly?

My daughter's hair is straighter than mine and she is half black, half white. Also her hair color looks kinda gingerish. It's funny.
She is 1 year old now. Do I still have to expect some changes?

Answer 1

My sons is half native and half black. he has brown curly hair and if i don't keep it very moisturized it turns into a nappy afro. but my son had straight thin hair until he was about 10 months old it only took about 3 months to turn from a soft head full of white people hair to a big nappy afro. So it may or may not change. God bless you on your little angel mixed babies are always the cutest.

Answer 2

I have 4 mixed children (black/white). All girls and let me warn you, if yours is anything like mine you have your work cut out for you. My girls ages are 10, 9, 2 and 7 months. The older two have VERY thick curly hair that is jet black. It has taken a lot of work to get it softer and usually its easier to keep it braided.If left down it dries up and looks like an afro. The color has not changed but the texture has. The gingerish color of your daughters hair will probably stay. That's just the white genes dominating the hair color. My 7 month old has straight black hair without any sign of a curl yet, but the 2 year old had straight hair until about 6 months then it slowly started curling as it got longer. Now she has a head full of tight thick curls and her hair is always dry and frizzy no matter what I do or how much grease I put on it. I wish you luck, and hopefully if your daughter's hair isn't that curly you won't have as much trouble with it.

My baby is Asian white mix. He has red hair and blue eyes. Im sure the blue eyes will darken but not sure about the hair either. I hope he wont have red hair forever! He is also VERY white and I hope he gets some color so he does'nt burn as easily. We never know how they will turn out in the end. Children can change their looks for years. My brother had blonde hair untill he was in middle school. He is now 45 and has jet black hair!

Here is my baby Landen 8 weeks old!

Answer 4

My son is mulatto as well and has curly, very light brown hair. It even has lots of blond high lights! He is almost three and still changes! He is much darker in the summer(not like a regular tan) and his hair gets a lot lighter. I have three mulatto nieces/nephew and all three have a different skin tone and hair texture. The oldest has classic african american hair and the middle has more of my son's type hair. It just really depends. I bet your daughter is a beauty! Hope this helped!

Answer 5

I am the mother of two mixed children. My husband is African-American and Cherokee Indian and I am white. My daughter came out looking a lot like Daddy with his brown skin, and eyes. Her hair is curly and puffy like Dad's, but mixed with my thickness...it's not easy to deal with, but I use the Pink Oil Moisturizer and that detangles, and conditiones it. My son came out white like me, but it looks like he has a light tan. His hair is light brown and very straight. It is funny because until he was about two he had some nice loose curls. They went away when we cut them off...and his hair grew back straight. Her hair may look gray because it needs a good conditioner. African-American hair often tends to be drier than white hair, and even if her hair is straight, it needs a good conditioner that is meant for her hair. Just For Me makes great children's products including Detangler, and Conditioners. The Hot Pink Oil is also good, as well as Castor Oil. These products can be hard to find, but Brooks and CVS usually carry them.

Answer 6

I am Asian and hubby is Black ... my son (14 now) has gorgeous soft loose curls all the way down his back
His hair is thinner and a little finer, rather than coarse and it is pitch black.
Your daughter's hair may always have the gingery tone to it.
It may tend to be very dry ... my son uses Garnier Smoothing Milk, it controls the frizz and makes the hair feel sleek and soft.

Answer 7

at first you could not tell from his hair that he was mixed, it was silky and straight and then when school started it started curling
then a few years later it went real weird like wire
Now it is wavey and he is 18 now. I adoped him at birth and he is Black white mixed
I did find in his wire days colestoral treatments helped smoth it some cause he hated the wirey days.

Answer 8

It could very well change. I was a blonde curly haired girl untill i was 6 then it went stright and dark brown. changes in hair and stuff can occur anytime in life.

Answer 9

I cannot answer your first question. I cannot see your daughter and thus can't tell if (his??) hair is straight or curly. She doesn't have her "adult" hair yet and as she matures, her hair will change. I hope it doesn't matter to you how it turns out. I believe it's more correct to refer to your daughter as biracial.

Answer 10

Many children from families with parents of two different ethnic backgrounds exhibit a variety of different hair types and skin shades. Generally babies of African decent darken as they get older. Newborns are much lighter in coloration than their parents.
