Hi I'm half black and half white. My curly hair is not quite the same as most. Is anyone else here interracial?

Hi. I am also interracial. I am half hispanic and half black, and yes our hair is different from most people. And sometimes it's hard to chose just the right hair products too.Well, I just thought I would reply.

When I made it a sticky, it was a quite decision. I wanted interracials to see I guess.

I'm wondering how many on doing that new 'no poo' thing. Not using shampoo and either using a cleansing conditioner or clay mask.

I do conditioner only, and I've been doing it for more than a year.

Do you use anything to remove build up like a mud mask or a cleansing rinse/conditioner?

I wouldn't let that mud mask go near your pretty head of hair!  Clay is a drying and absorbent substance that will chip away at your cuticle as it dries.

A good vinegar rinse or a gentle clarifying shampoo is your best bet to get rid of buildup.

Well, I just use you know, regular moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Don't know if I would like the feeling of not being able to wash my hair. But it sounds interesting about those cleansing conditioners.

The mud mask I use doesn't dry because it has glycerin and other things in it. It only half drys but stays soft. It leaves a soft velvety feal.

The only product I use that can build up is Pantene, which contain silicones. I at least weekly do a rinse of 1/2 cup vinegar in a quart of water before washing to prevent buildup.

I am not interracial, but you don't have to be in order to have curly hair.  So what do you mean when you say your hair is not the same as most, if you dont mind me asking?  I know some really good curl products that work for me but I'm not interracial so I don't know if you'd be interested, but if you are just let me know.

I didn't mean only interracials have curly hair. It's a certain type of curly hair. It's not the same as normal curly hair usually. You'd have to be mixed to know what I mean.

I was just wondering who's out there doing the no poo thing.  Most people use vinigar and I'm wondering if anyone has tried witch hazel.

Ok, well I guess I'm out. Sorry I couldn't help. Actually I am mixed, just not half and half. My hair is just curly, wouldn't know if it's normal or not.

Hair like mine is really dry and frizzy like afro hair but looser obviously and the curls are like cork screws. But I also can only comb it in the shower with conditioner in it and if I don't put a leave -in cream in it, it will be a giant puff afro. It's not sleak and silky like a lot of normal type curly hair.  If you look at this page I am a CB.7 and I wish I was a CB.1

Means I have other races in my family bloodline.  I guess in my view everyone (speaking for black people) is mixed with something because none of our roots are fully african so I consider myself black but I do have Native American and Caucasian in my family also. As far as me saying I'm mixed, yes I am but I'm not interracial which to me means having two parents of totally different races, which I do not have. Sorry for confusion, hope that helped.

Ok, that's interesting.  I've never seen a hair type chart like that.  I hope this dosen't sound dumb but I really don't know, is that chart only for biracial people?  http://naturallycurly2.com/curl411/types.php <----This is where I got mine from.  I didn't know they had a different one.

That one is too general and skips so many types that people have to say I'm inbetween this and that. The one I posted is for anyone who has the type of hair that is in that range. It's an add on to the old one. I don't know how that old typing system can jump from 2B to 2C like that. They are missing a huge number of people. I think its an ignorant chart.

I never said that other mixed people can't have other types of hair. I only spoke about my type and tried to explain it.  I don't have to get over anything. I specifically said that the chart is for ANYONE who has that type of hair,not just biracials. I know all about hair and I know that mixed hair comes in all different textures. I was asked about mine. Not others.  I showed the chart so that I could show what my hair was. That is all. I don't know why you attack.

I wouldn't say ignorant but they are making big jumps.  Not everyone knows about the other chart.  Well, I didn't.  Now I know.

im not going to tell you what my race is, because it doesnt matter. but what i do know is that i have been following ekatherines conditioner only routine, and it tamed my curly hair (thanks gurl). my hair is naturally a 3b1 according to blended beauty's chart. my hair used to get puffy and frizzy (much like you described stacie) but thanks to this co routine, my curls are soft and beautiful, and they organize into nice ringlets without products. what i do daily in the shower:
1.) cleanse with suave daily clarifying conditioner
2.) moisturize with biolage conditioning balm (left on for 3 minutes)
3.) moisturize with pantene's deep treatment for colored hair (left on     for one minute)
 as a leave in after the shower i use avon naturals moisturizing conditioner (exact name: poppy flower and almond milk moisturizing conditioner for dry or color treated hair) which i have "spiked" with 2 tbls of evoo
once a week i use a clarifying rinse similar to what ekatherine prescribed earlier.

hth stacie
