Very Knowledgeable
I am an adoptive mother of two black sons, I unfortunately do not have the knowledge or skills to provide them with proper hair care (other than articles I read).

Different Hair Texture
My children’s hair is a different hair texture than me and my family’s hair. I am not familiar with hair techniques. This is why I am thankful for DOKF for their knowledge .
