ADOPTIVE & FOSTER PARENTS TO BLACK CHILDREN

Natural Hair vs. Chemically Treated Hair

Many adoptive and foster parents are learning Natural hairstyles and techniques that work best for their Black children's hair. As parents, we want to give our children the best hair care possible by keeping their hair Natural. Most believe Black hair is healthiest when it doesn’t have chemicals. This is true for those capable of caring for Black hair properly.

 There is no one way fits all for Black hair because our hair comes in many different textures and patterns. As confusing as this can be, knowing the best remedy for you and your child when deciding to use chemicals is important.

 Chemical Texturizers or Relaxers help parents manage their Black child's hair with fewer challenges. A professional can safely use chemicals, so have no shame or fear if using them is best for you and your child.
