Hi, I am Caucasian but I think I can tell you what you need to know. Don't wish you were mixed! Everyone has different hair, and if yours is springy and beautiful like the Black people I know there is no reason to dislike it, trust me! First, you have to find a way to separate your hair into neat parts: to begin with, go for thick, straight parts, about 10 or so. Then find a way to keep the parts separate, using clips or bands. It is best to braid when your hair is damp, too. Comb your hair, part it, then, taking a part one at a time, undo the clip and find three strands of hair of equal thickness at your hairline. You want enough to hang on to, but don't worry if they seem quite fine: what matters ix they are approximately of equal size. Then, you cross over the first two strands, and cross the third over the top. Next you take a strand of similar size next to the second strand, and cross THAT over the top in the opposite direction, then go and do the same on the other side again, probably going further back from your hairline by this stage. That is all there is to it! Just carry on, taking small, equal strands from alternate sides, until you have braided all this hair, then do all the other parts in the same way. I know it sounds really complicated, but follow all the instructions carefully, and after a few tries I promise it will 'click' and you will see just how simple it really is! All it takes is a little time, some preparation and patience. For a diagram, go to a Black hair site (there are loads out there). Good luck!
FIRST OF ALL YOU SHOULD BE COMFORTABLE WITH WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT YOU ARE. THAT'S JUST FIRST OF ALL. AND THEN YOU NEED TO STOP SPEAKING DEFEAT OVER YOUR HAIR. WHAT IS VERBALIZED HAS AN EFFECT ON WHAT BECOMES. I HOPE I AM NOT GETTING TOO DEEP FOR YOU. YOU SOUND YOUNG, SO ALL I CAN DO IS SUGGEST THE GROW AFRO HAIR LONG WEBSITE. THERE ARE SOME GREAT TIPS ON THAT SITE AND ROBIN IS VERY NICE SHE WILL ALWAYS ANSWER YOUR EMAILS.
