Black / Black - Asian / Blasian Hair!
Hair is a topic that is often discussed, especially within the Black Community. Now talk about "Black" hair when it comes to biracial/bicultural children and the conversation takes on a new dynamic.

I love my Afro but keeping it conditioned and styled is not without its challenges here in Japan. Then again, finding a barber that can cut and style Black hair is probably a bigger challenge for most Blacks in Japan especially those living within the local community versus on a U.S. military installation.
Of course, some Blacks opt to cut and style their own hair, as I have done for at least three decades, while others on U.S. military bases in Japan utilize on-base barber and beauty establisments. One thing is for certain, Team Natural has gained a new following as Blacks are returning to their roots and opting to wear their hair without chemical relaxers, perms and the like.

By the way, I am often asked what products I use to condition and style my hair or what I use to take care of my children's hair, which is of a different texture than mine. One product line that I highly recommend is Shea Moisture. I support this company for all that they have done to focus on natural hair. I use their products whether I am wearing a long or short 'fro or my whether my boys have a short cut or long curly hair.
For the kids, I use Shea Moisture's Mango-Carrot organic product line. For me, Shea Moisture's Raw Shea Butter, works best for my hair and body. Be sure to check out Shea Moisture Specials for some great deals! Learn more about Shea Moisture and view their Behind the Scenes #BREAKTHEWALLS videos.
