Caring for a Child's Natural Hair - Transracial Parenting Perspective

DISCLAIMER: The model is not the child referred to in the article.

Here’s a thought provoking article written by a white woman who adopted a black baby.

She spoke about the decision she and her husband, (who is black), made to keep their baby girl’s hair natural as opposed to trying to straighten, chemically relax or even braiding their daughter’s hair.

A white woman caring for a black child’s hair is a provocative topic as the author so aptly points out.  Our hair, contrary to popular belief is fragile and needs to be treated gently. It’s clear that this mom and dad took the time to research how to care for natural hair.  Learn more about this mom’s journey – Natural Hair and Transracial Parenting.
