Kids Protective Twists For Natural Hair 4A 4B 4C I Tips For Foster And Adoptive Parents-Christy Gior

Christy Gior: Hey friends! The purpose of this video is to help others learn the importance of hair care for a child and inspire others to learn.

🎁50k🍪: Let's all pause for a moment to appreciate how beautiful this child is

Samm Coleman: This took me way back, I’m 73 yrs old and had a Caucasian step mom who did my hair. She had a couple of black girlfriends who taught her to press and curl my hair and later to perm it. I loved it when she gave me pixie bangs. She has since passed and I miss her dearly.

ohheytherelauren: My fave part is at 8:42 when the mom says she loves how her girls hair feels and the daughter sneaks a feel for herself. Such a great example of actively teaching self love. You can see her daughter learning to love herself in this video

New Beginnings With Eve: As a cosmetologists I just want to say thank you for showing your audience how important it is to moisturize and add oil to African American hair. Our hair does not have active Sebaceous oil glands and that is why we need extra moisture and oil. You are doing a fantastic job on maintaining your daughter's hair and I would like to personally say thank you.

J’Dvonte: I love it when she says, “my daughter.” I’ve been there and people treated me like dirt as well as the other kids that were in the system, we were just a $1037 check ‍♂️

April K: As a mixed-race person who has very thick but fine curls I appreciate that you took the time to learn about your daughter's hair. I grew up with a mother who would shame me for wearing my hair natural. It took almost 23 years but I finally am becoming comfortable with my curls

Julia Corrêa: THE SMALLEST LITTLE COMPLIMENTS THAT SHE GIVES TO HER DAUGHTER CONSTANTLY CAN MAKE ME CRY IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL. THIS VIDEO IS SO WHOLESOME.

Life & Liberty: Girl this is hair style is cute.

21 Yeet: Hello I am a 50 year old African American women in a predominantly white state with a lot of white families with adoptive children. You made me proud and tearful at the care you gave your daughter. Thank you so much and I am passing this video along to my white friends with African American children thank you Mary

LM S: I'm impressed that all daughters are happy in this situation- the girl is comfortable and calm while her hair is getting done, and her sister is playing in the background- no jealousy or frustration while her mom takes the time she needs to do her hair the way it needs to be done. You can tell this home is filled with love and compassion.

blessedgirl247: First of all ma’am.....YOU DID THAT!! As a black girl i know there is a lot that goes with doing black hair! You did it so beautifully! From the detangle, to the co-wash, the oil, even the style!! So many “parents” put hairstyles in their child’s hair that are way to mature for them. You did an AMAZING job!!!

Ali Ma: "She did her daughters hair better than I could've and I'm African American!" I really wish that she had a larger platform to illustrate hair care for parents of biracial children or adoptive parents of African American/ Latino children ...Beautiful

Cheryl Tavares: I love the fact that you asked her opinion on the color choices, thank you for all that you do as a foster/ adoptive mom. It takes a special person to take in children that are not theirs. You are a great Mom. I also love how you do her hair without pulling and tugging. As a small child there were only 2 or three people that could do my hair without making me cry...LOVE your kindness.

Ashley Love: Can I just say I freaking admire a white woman that actually took the time the learn and educate herself on afro hair.

Everything Dana: LET ME TELL YOU.....I am going to show my WHITE CLIENTS this video and this woman is working 4c hair with ease. But she knows her hair. This took me to church.

Latress: As a black woman I'm elated to see you taking the time to educate yourself on how to properly take care of your daughter's hair. I've had women who are raising black children come up to me in the product aisle and ask for help. Our hair has different needs and I don't expect them to know. Great job!

Nomfundo Gwala: My favourite part of this video is the fact that the daughter has super healthy hair, big ups to the mom.

Aleshia Davis: This whole video was awesome, the love, the time, the patience, the learning, it was all great the fact that you took out the time to learn what to do and how to do your daughter hair is just awesome from the products used to what type of equipment like the detangler brush, I must say I’m in ahhh, I’m a hairstylist of 30 years and as a stylist I get a lot of young girl who are adopted or there natural parent is of another nationality and they can’t do their hair because it is a major difference or they just can’t do there hair period, so the fact that you took the time out to find out just what and how to do there hair and not cut it all off, and then you did a nice time consuming style and not just two ponytails, I must say I’m speechless and I take my hat off to you and I say thank you

Kay Ess: As a social worker, I’ve seen Black children with non Black foster/adoptive parents a lot. When I’d try to offer advice and even help with their Black children’s hair, a lot of them would either get offended or shy away from my offers instead of considering how much hair affects a child’s comfort levels, confidence, & self esteem. The fact that this momma has researched info on her daughter’s hair care and put her ego aside to make sure the child’s hair stays neat and healthy is SO WHOLESOME.

Shantell Monique: I appreciate you so much for this!! i actually wanna come over and get my hair done lol.... thank you so much for caring to learn how to tend to your child’s hair. you’re a blessing!

flowerpink33: My Mom couldn’t even do hair like this ‍♀️‍♀️ I had to learn at 10 how to do my own hair. You’re doing a awesome job. Her hair is healthy

Pamela Brazile: She had me when she said the focus was on growth and protective style. God bless this white momma for showing the love, care, interest and desire to learn about her daughters hair and share it. Her baby looks so cute afterwards and she will never forget how much she is loved.

Khadijah Abdullah: I absolutely love LOVE love how this mother took into consideration CARING for this child literally from head to toe!!! She will grow up knowing that you truly loved her inside and out while also giving her confidence and appearance a lovingly boost!! ✨

Gitn2it: I just had to comment. This mother treats her daughter with such love. She is constantly saying positive and nurturing things. This is how you are supposed to treat your children. I'm so impressed.

Ms. Und3rst00d: This is absolutely beautiful! I think that the mother LOVES doing her daughter’s hair because it’s not only relaxing and a bonding ritual for them both but it is totally different from her own hair. This is why we are constantly asked if they could touch our hair. She is instilling such confidence in her daughter by embracing her beauty instead of ignoring it. This is so important. The style at the end of the video is beautiful

Nula-v: I just wanna say, what you're doing for her is amazing. You're so considerate and compassionate towards her hair in a way that not many people get to experience. You even care about giving her scalp a break. You're giving her unique styles, her hair is beautiful, there's only beauty and freedom. Only comfort and no expectation of pain. Your child is going to have a much healthier relationship with her hair than what is common, and that's so beautiful. I came from a video reaction, and I just really wanna say, we're all giving you props. Thankful for wonderful parents like you, (pardon my sappiness).

Christine Lovato: This young child will always feel loved. Her mother takes great care in styling her hair. It reminds me of when my 2 girls were young and I styled their hair. It is very important to do that with your daughters. Even your sons! It's all about taking the time to care for them. Love this so much!!

anni kal: I saw ur video at Chizi Duru's Channel where she did a commentary on it and let me say one thing: People like you really have a great impact. The way u talk about ur daughter's hair, the time u take to take care of it and style it... Plus putting it out here so that other ppl can learn from it. Love it Wish u and ur family the best

QtPi WitGlasses: I love how she hears you describing her hair as “beautiful”. When she grows up she’s going to love her hair because you showed her the beauty in it!

omenkahelen: I almost teared up watching this — beautiful mother and beautiful daughter ❤️

ELIZABETH DURHAM: Christy I don’t know anything about textured hair but I can tell you’ve done your homework and it speaks volumes of the love you pour into your babies. Thank you for being such a clear example of how to love

Shakara Richardson: Loving this. She’s beautiful and mommy gave her such a cute style!!

Sofia: Even though their skin is different they look like a family. You can visibly tell when there is real love between two people

dantie black bfly: I have never witnessed a white woman blessing type 4 hair like this! I am so impressed you did your research. She will thank you later!

Ninguém: this is the type of video that makes me realize that i would've grown up loving my hair more if my mom had loved it too when i was younger the amount of care and attention is as beautiful as your daughter and her hair

Christina Buffert: I love it, I subscribed to her because of how genuine she loves her children regardless of race DNA they are her blood.

Loretta Stephens: You did such a great job on your daughter’s hair, she’s adorable!

Barbiana: You seen so excited and so into doing her hair. This makes me so proud to see this. Just beautiful mommy ! Thank you

Sylvia Gitau: I love how her mom enjoys doing her kid's hair and has learnt to do it well.

Norda Campbell: A white mother taking care of her black daughter 4c hair being so warm and gentle this is so heart warming and beautiful God's richest blessings enjoy on you and the family Christy.

Tierny T: I absolutely love how your mother takes time to learn and understand your hair. She's a lovely women

Dianna Fetherman: I watched this video through another YouTubers reaction video (it was very positive), but had to come here to share how much I appreciate this. The WHOLE this, not just this video. It’s very evident how much you love your daughter and how selfless you are how you express your love. I’m biracial with very curly hair that my Korean mom celebrated. All of the loving words you share with your daughter, both about her hair and to her, are foundational to her self esteem and how she’ll shine in the world. Also, what great tips!! Rotating styles so there’s not repeated strain in the same areas of the scalp - genius! I didn’t even consider that for myself.

Danielle Colón: Made me tear up thinking about how this beautiful baby girl doesn’t even realize the confidence her mama is pouring into her day by day. When she’s in her adulthood life will throw so much at her but one thing is for sure in her core and in her heart her mama built a queen that will withstand anything. She will never feel as a bother or less than. Thank you SO much for this. Strong women: may we be them, know them, and raise them. ❤️

Rainbow Love: I appreciate how you care for her hair. Makes my heart sing that she's getting the love she deserves. One tip from a 63 year old black mother. You will know if you have braided or a band is to tight and if her scalp is puffed it's to tight and will cause her to have a headache. And take a tutorial and learn how to french braid. It's fun with great looks for the hair. Much Love

Calicapenergy88 LLC: Watching this I can tell she loves her and it’s so beautiful to see she is doing everything to make sure her daughters hair is done properly. Absolutely beautiful and I’m so happy to see that little girl has a loving home to be in tears of joy

Louise Ndior: Christy i just found your channel and I'm in love. The love and care you give to your kids makes me look up, and appreciate you as a person so much . The positivity of the comment section does not hurt either. Thank you for spending time to share a bit of your life with us!!!

Lovetta Tobey, EA: So cute! I just did this style on my daughter’s hair. She loves it. ☺️

Kelsey Jines: You are an amazing mother! Thank you for doing everything for that baby and all of the others you have. As a foster kid, this warms my heart so much.

Lisa Fraser: I love this momma she keeps saying “ look how beautiful her hair is” she notices that and I love it. She’s so proud of how she’s taken care of her hair since birth and it’s turned out beautifully because of her patience and willingness to learn. Love love love it

S.T. Scoops: I am waiting for the day I can adopt a child. If the child that comes into my life is black or has natural hair like this, this is so so helpful! I've been nervous about how to style natural hair, or any child's hair in general really. My mother styled my hair in pigtails almost everyday and I dreaded it every morning. I vote we boycott those hair ties that have the two big beads

decemburr june: I know you don't need anyone's 2 cents or approval. But I love this sooo much. YOU CARE for your daughter's hair so well! I have 3 siblings (adopted) myself. I love seeing adoptive parents who genuinely love & care for their kids like my mom

Taya LaShae: it breaks my heart that too often white people adopt black children and put no effort into learning our lifestyle. thank you for doing this. seriously.

BunBun 2610: Respect to her for taking the time to learn and nurture her daughters hair so well.

Lissa-Lissa-Meditation-Relaxing-Music: Mom, you did a wonderful job! Your daughter’s hair came out so beautiful!

Kyonée R.: Mama, you are incredible. THANK YOU. Black queens everywhere thank you for taking the time to learn, appreciate & honour your baby’s beautiful & unique hair - Lord knows it isn’t easy! This technique is flawless and even taught me a thing or two! You are incredible. Your baby girl will never forget this, you’re an amazing mama.

Kellye: You and your daughter are both so patient, polite, and BEAUTIFUL. A winning combination. Hoping for the best for your beautiful girls! Thank you for taking the time to understand their hair in its natural form and encouraging them to love it too.

Mrs Lisha: Great job! As a African American women I so appreciate the way you took the time educate yourself as well as others. I love the terminology you use and i appreciate how you acknowledged how beautiful her hair is. You have a sweet spirit ❤ Be blessed

Zephyros: I love watching your videos and getting ideas from you! My gf has a daughter that lives with us full time now and no one ever did anything with her hair when she lived with her father. She didn’t have a lot of confidence when she first came to live with us and I think that was a big part of it. She’s half white half black and her mom (my gf) gets really bad hand cramps when trying to do stuff like this so I’ve taken up the roll as her hairstylist and just doing simple little braids and twists I can tell a huge difference in her confidence levels so I just wanted to say thank you for making these videos and please keep them coming!

OptimisticSmyle 🤟🏿: Wow!!! This video is so informative and I’m happy you’re doing this for your audience and our community!!!! You must do the research for your child when adopting outside of your race and culture! This is a great video.

Shetrades: My hair is long but thinned out from weaves. I’m transitioning to natural. I just want to thank you Christy for sharing. My mother gave me perms when I was younger and as a black woman I don’t know how to take care of my natural hair texture... I learned lots!

Dann-el Smith: I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you taking the time to learn & do your daughters hair. I wish more (foster/adoptive) parents of non white children would do the same. Not only is it great for the child’s self esteem & comfort but, it’s a great time to bond. I hope you know she’ll remember & hopefully cherish the quality time spent. You’re not just doing your daughters hair, ya know? She’s beautiful & you’re doing an amazing job Mom!! Thank You & God bless you & your family!!!

BeautyByKrys: Can we appreciate this woman’s hand? They she was handling her head she got “my momma” hands. She is not timid with that baby’s hair. I love the way she has taken time to learn this baby’s head and knows what products and tools to use.

Shayla Patton: I absolutely love that you have taken the time to learn how to affectively style your daughter's type of hair naturally to keep it growing healthy and strong. Nice work Mom.. you're awesome!!

Ami Rudock: I love how she is teaching her daughters to love themselves naturally, rather than taking them to the salon and having it straightened.

littlejeanz: Great job momma. Setting a perfect example of teaching self love. That even “you” can do your babies hair. I am sharing this.

WLJ: I'm impressed with your process and final style...you did a lovely job on her hair. Clearly you've taken the time to understand her hair and the products and tools it takes to maintain a beautiful and healthy mane. The individual attention she needs and you give, as well as the love you have shown her comes through. Awesome!

aminazena: moms with mixed kids gotta see this! My mom was so lost and it took me like 25 years to figure out my hair...but in her defense she tried and there was no YouTube, now there’s no excuse!

Toshchel Demus: I love this, it’s so awesome to see that you took the time out to learn how to properly care for her hair. I love to see it ❤️❤️❤️ her hair is really cute and moisturize by the way! You go momma !

G3Mn3Y3 0R0: I am so appreciative of her efforts! She did her homework, took notes and plus some. Growing up biracial and in a blended family with different cultures this speaks to my childhood. I love love love this! Be blessed!✨

Beulah O: The precious baby girl has the most beautiful natural hair! Keep loving it and please continue to encourage her to love it... If there's any advice I can give: *don't ever let relaxer touch those golden locks* ‍♀️

Dom LS: This just made me smile so hard. Thank you for loving and care for this little girl hair like any little child deserves.

Star Bright: Finally I’ve seen someone do beautiful melanin girls hair perfect ♥️♥️♥️this was a beautiful video and I love the way mom keeps calling her “ my girl” you presume to be doing a beautiful job mom!

Turkish show: This is so cute! I have curly hair but not this coily! Im learning everyday although our hair types are different ( mine is around a 3a-3b) I also love how she took time to educate herself on her daughters hair to teach her to love her gorgeous coils! Yo can tell how much she loves her kids! ❤️

Raquel Alves: Amor e respeito por essa mamãe maravilhosa!

Rebecca Johnson: Watching this video brought tears to my eyes! ❤️ The level of care and preparation that went into doing your child’s hair was beautiful to witness! I can see just how much you love your children! ❤️ Truly heartwarming!

Grace2shar: Christi, I love seeing you work that comb through those parts and that edge brush. You understand how important those edges and parts are to your girl’s hair. You can hang with the best of black moms who love to style their kids hair! You are wonderful! And your daughter is beautiful and well mannered !

Lil’ Miss Wonder: Love it Christi! Your daughter is gorgeous. One of the biggest things about lil’ girls, especially on the black community, I watched on Oprah as a child, is they get child abuse a lot, in regards to how they get their hair done. It’s not ok to harm your child no matter how much extra time it takes to do their hair gentle and nice. This is true of white girls too. When parents harm their child and use any excuse, “it’s your hair’s fault,” that’s not ok. I experienced this myself, as a redhead. First grade my parents cut my hair like a BOY, because they didn’t want to have to condition and style my red hair properly. So I can totally relate to anyone who was abused via their hair. I’m so glad women are conscientious now that children and their hair is dependent on what race they are and what kind of hair they have. Thanks Christi. Someday if and when I find my guy I may adopt. I’ve always wanted a biracial family. Knowing these things are helpful. Love! ❤️

Natasha Williams: Awesome job... thank you for taking your time and patience to learn various hair textures. 4b/c thick hair can be an all day event. The fact you said my daughter melted my heart especially in such a hateful world we live in.

Ngalula Dodier: You did that! I am a licensed cosmetologist and I am impressed and in love with the how you handle your babies hair awesome tutorial and great end result !!!

Christen Robinson: Absolutely beautiful!! My little girl and I just watched this for new ideas and love this style! You did a great job and your daughter is adorable

Karlis Johnson: Major props to this mom for taking the time to find the right products for her child’s hair & for learning to style it.

Aimee Serene Cowles: Oh my gosh, your daughter is so beautiful! And that style looks great! All the thought and care you put into her will teach her to love herself, too. ❤️ Great job, mama.

Phoenix Jewel: Just had to come to the comments to say thank you for being such an awesome mom to your babies!!! You are molding them with love and it’s so nice to see!!!!

Tommy: She is super freaking cute. Love the hair style. I want to adopt a kid one day.❤

Beautiful DIVA: This is beautiful . When I was younger my foster parents cut all my hair off because it was too long, nappy and they didn’t want to deal with it. But beautifully done keep being that amazing mother you are to them. God bless

Susan Robinson: I really Love and Appreciate the way she takes time to learn how to actually care for ALL her adopted children.
