Caring for Your African American or Biracial Child’s Hair
Friday June 6, 2008
Mahisha Dellinger, the founder of CURLS, has written a wonderful collection of articles and short tips to help educate foster or adoptive parents in the care and styling of African American or Biracial hair. As foster or adoptive parents we are often called upon to step outside of our own culture to raise and care for a child. These new articles by Mahisha Dellinger will be a wonderful asset to About Adoption & Foster Care as well as to your foster or adoptive home.
CURLS proudly partners with adoption agencies around the world to provide assistance by hosting live hair care demonstrations, online chats, authoring articles, and donating products to hundreds of families.

Ahhh, but there is something new! I noticed your website and wanted to share one with you that you may find interesting. Sunflower Mom On A Mission has just launched and will have some cool information about parenting for multi-ethnic families…especially how self-image and self-esteem is tied to hair care. This mom is the spokesperson for a breakthrough in multi-ethnic children’s hair care called Texture Softener. Check it out!
I think it is great that you are bringing cultural awareness to the community. Growing up in Arizona I would always see white or hispanic mothers with bi-racial children and their hair was either short or all over the place. I am a hair stylist and I want to be a part of the gap bridging to bring social issues to the forefront for the sake of love. Keep up the good work.
I am a biracial adult that was adopted as a newborn to white parents. I wish I site like this was available when I was growin up!! I am passing along this website to other families who would benefit from your information!!!
