Here are links to other multiracial and hair sites:

This list doesn't come close to listing all the sites out there, but has a good selection of flavors of them. Many of them have links, reading lists, communities, and resources:

Afrobella is a super-fun site that talks about fashion and beauty. It makes me so happy that Patrice loves and is a firm supporter of our joyous naturally curly hair

AMEA: The Association for MultiEthnic Americans has an extensive reading list with all kinds of books about the multiracial experience.

Curly Nikki: This is an enthusiastic new blog that supports naturally curly hair. Curly Nikki herself has amazingly gorgeous curls.

Dolls Like Me: Has a huge selection of dolls of all colors, including biracial and mixed.

Going Natural: This is the site of Mireille Lion-A-Kong, author of the book Going Natural: How to Fall in Love with Nappy Hair. The site and book emphasize braids, cornrows, twists, afros, and dreadlocks.

Janis Cortese has some great, no-nonsense tips on growing long hair. Though her hair is wavy-curly hair, her general care advice works for all hair types, and she has the below-tailbone hair to prove it.

Light Skinned-ed Girl: There is so much here. This is the site of Heidi, a writer who is half black and half Danish. The first thing that struck me when I found the site is the childhood photo of her...she's arresting. The site has lots of multiracial links, and a running blog of her thoughts and observations. She's very active in the multiracial community, including being the co-host of "Mixed Chicks Chat". Here observations are always thought provoking.

See my interview with Heidi.

MAViN Foundation is "the nation's leading organization that builds healthy communities that celebrate and empower mixed-heritage people and families."

Mixed Heritage Center is a "clearinghouse of information relevant to the lives of people who are multiracial, multiethnic, transracially adopted, or otherwise affected by the intersection of race and culture".

The Multiracial Activist is "dedicated to the struggle for and preservation of civil rights for multiracial individuals and interracial couples/families". It includes lots of links to multiracial magazines and sites.

Natural Hair Grows is a refreshing site that discusses why it seems tightly curly African-American hair often doesn't seem to grow, as well as hair care advice. She actually quotes from studies about the research being done in this area, and discusses it (I love that). Back in the day, I used to think that because I had very curly hair, I could never have long hair. I never saw images of women with tight curls with long hair. Now that I have hair reaching my hips, I know this was due to how we are taught to care for our hair, not something inherent in our hair itself.

The Topaz Club is a professional and social network of biracial/multiracial women who are of African descent. They embrace a mixed race identity, instead of the "one-drop rule" (so refreshing). They have interesting online discussions, and function as a support group, with members sometimes getting together in person.

Watermelon Sushi World is the blog of a creative and fun Hip Hapa woman Yayoi Lena Winfrey. She is very active in the mixed community, has a line of T-Shirts for us mixes, and is working on a film as well.
