Melodie, we use Tui and Hair Milk in Micah’s hair – it’s GREAT! The hair milk we bough in May 09 is still half full so although it’s expensive, it’s long-lasting. The leave-in conditioner goes ore quickly – we’re almost done with bottle #2. Sephora sells these if you ahve a store near you.

Is this the same book that talks about what people call “Good” African-American hair (permed…or as we would call it, relaxed) had to do with slave owners wanting the slaves with the hair closest to caucasian hair in the house, etc.? I heard about it on Tyra. No, I don’t watch Tyra, haha. But I turned on the TV and Tyra was on and I saw they were talking about “Black Hair” so I thought I would at least give it a listen in case I learned something. It was rather informative and I want to sit down and read the book.

Thanks for the book recommendation! I use “Hot Six Oil” by African Royale on Grace. It’s all natural and not very expensive. Her hair is so incredibly thick…at the salon they told me to start relaxing it–even though she’s not even four yet. I was reluctant at first but now it’s so much easier to deal with! However, I doubt you’ll have that problem with Desta. But it is really nice to live in a country where it’s very reasonable to have a salon do her hair!

most (but not all) ET hair is not too hard to manage. Keep it moisturized and conditioned and you’re halfway there. Don’t pay a hairdresser what you can learn to do yourself. Get “It’s All Godd Hair” at Amazon or the library–probably the only book you’ll ever need. You’ll be able to do her hair, don’t fret!
