I hated my hair until I figured it out. Now I cherish it.

My name is Teri. I came by my super-curly hair being half black and half white, and my biracial hair is so curly it catches around buttons, sequins, and other people’s watches. I spent my entire life struggling with my super curly hair. I read countless books and articles, tried countless products and asked dozens of professionals to help manage my hair. None of the books, articles, products or people helped. Even books that specifically said they were for tightly curled, “kinky” hair all seemed to give about the same advice, and none of it worked. So I began to try to figure out what my hair needed on my own. It took lots of searching and experimenting, but I finally figured it out. I went from short, crunchy hair that always felt more like a nest than hair, to long happy spirals that fall down to my butt.
This site is devoted to helping others struggling with their tight coils. Treated correctly, those curls can become your unique trademark, and your friend.
I didn’t want anyone else to suffer for thirty years with their hair when they don’t have to. I am working on a book on how to care for tightly curly hair, but I wanted to make some of this information available to those searching online.
*I called this site biracial hair/ mixed girl curls because this is the type of hair I have. However, all curlies and those who love them are welcome here.*

The information on this site is a brief overview of all that I've discovered in my struggles to grow my tightly curled hair long. The majority of my information will be in the book I'm working on. It will have about 150 b&w photos and 22 illustrations.
If you'd like an email when it's coming out, feel free to drop me a line and I'll let you know when it's available.
Sometimes it might take me a few days to write back, but I do my best to answer every email sent to me.
Come check out my new blog: Notes of a Former Mushroom-Haired Child. It's about about my biracial hair, the journey of writing, and all the embarrassing stuff in between.
This is me before and after I figured out my hair.
For more of my Before pictures, see my Hair History section. For more of my After pictures, check out the the Notes section or the Hair Shots section (this page also has pictures of the size of my curls up close).
If you live in the Seattle area and would like a consultation in person (or need help combing out some scary mats in your or your child's hair), please drop me a line and mention that you're interested in a consultation.
