Thanks for the suggestion! I have heard of Miss Jessie's before, but haven't tried it out yet.I do agree with you, biracial, as well as multi-racial individuals will have their own unique hair and texture. I had a hard time finding products that worked in my daughter's hair, because of just that reason. Traditional products are overwhelming in her hair, so I had a hayday with trying out new items. And it seemed to be the consensus of opinion within our circle of friends as well. Each child is like a snowflake: no two are alike :) But there are universal products that can work on a multitude of hair and textures, and those examples are what have worked for me and my daughter. Keep blogging!

Biracial can mean lots of different combinations and so there is really no such thing as "biracial hair." People who are Black or Latino have a range of hair textures from fine and straight to deeply kinky.

That said, try "Curly Pudding" and the "Baby Creme" product from Miss Jessie's.

Olive Oil sheen spray, Luster's pink oil, and a host of other products also work well.
