Loook! I straighten my hair for a reason. But having a little girl with a head FULL of hair (I mean FULL of hair), this was veryyy helpful. I need all the help I can get and this guide saved me hours of watching youtube videos. Would highly recommend whether you have mixed kids, or just kids with uncontrollable curls.

YES!! This is the reason why I decided to create a quick “read when you need” guide. Thank you for sharing!

I’m so glad it was helpful for you!
Maia Suarez –
Bought it, tried her overnight cap trick despite some reluctance from my daughter but after only two nights she already saw less frizz. Can’t believe this, Victoria!

I now understand what porosity is and why it matters. I swear, this is not as hard as we all think!
victoriavadenking –
I think people get overwhelmed looking at the curls, but hair routines can be just as simple as straight hair.
Katelyn Bentner –
She starts with ‘Never…’ and the second I finished the sentence I realized I was guilty of doing the exact same thing haha. I thought I knew the basics when it comes to how to care for biracial hair but I was way off the mark, guys
victoriavadenking –
Thank you for commenting this! So many parents care for hair all the same, but that’s unfair and more damaging.
Mya –
When you go through the guide point by point, check her videos and see what changes you can implement. You are already halfway there. My toddler has zero patience but once he saw how tamed and refreshed his hair looked, this stopped being an issue for us.
victoriavadenking –
My middle child was like this too! She loves picking out her hair ties now. Who would’ve guessed??
Natalia –
Tried some of your tips and I was amazed how a few small changes made the difference in the world!
victoriavadenking –
It’s always the little things! 🙂
Ruby –
Thanks for this, Victoria! Great resource for complete beginners like me!

Oh, that just warms my heart. I am so grateful that it was of such help to you!
Piper –
So nice and easy to apply the tips.
victoriavadenking –
I appreciate this comment so much!
Gabrielle –
I swear she curates the best products. I found an insane mask from OGX that finally managed to tame my unruly thick hair. Her advice and the routines she recommended for mixed hair kids are so easy to use and personalize. 5 stars!
victoriavadenking –

The only guide that shows how to care for mixed hair that I’ve bought and tbh, I don’t need anything else right now!
victoriavadenking –
Oh wow! This comment just made my day 🙂

It answered all my questions and more. She’s not preachy and she over-explains to make sure you understand.
Kendall –
Biracial hair was a new thing for me so you can imagine how lost I felt. Slowly I’m starting to better understand how to do things so I can avoid tangled, frizzy hair.
victoriavadenking –

I’m one happy camper, Victoria! I stumbled through your Instagram profile and suddenly decided to buy this to take better care of my stepdaughter’s hair.
Kylee –
I already see great progress and I’ve only changed the shampoo and conditioner I’ve used! Thx!!!
Makenzie Vincent –
This is not a guide that was put together just for the sake of it, you learn a ton of new things just in the introductory pages!
Izabella –
I feel like I lived under a rock until now! I brushed her hair wrong, used products that weigh hair down and spent way too much money when there’s a ton of great options available, both online and offline.
Alice –
5 well deserved stars from me! You’re the best!
victoriavadenking –
Wow! I am so honored .
Laila –
Great guide! She links to her older videos, explains the basics of biracial hair care and goes into detail on how to take unruly, dry hair to make it reach its true potential. Very happy with my purchase!

The second I downloaded the guide I skimmed through the guide and spent hours reading product reviews on Amazon. I bought the Moroccan Oil products you recommended and the difference is insane, they’re worth every penny. Lots of useful advice from types of curls to routine examples for each hair type.
victoriavadenking –
Wow, this is amazing feedback!
Marcia N. –
Excellent guide that has helped keep the peace in our family :)! We were having some issues untangling our stubborn but beautiful curls. Thank you so much, Victoria!
