L’Oreal steampod gets hair way smoother than regular straighteners but your hair seems too short to use it effectively.
You’d get a better result with a Keratin treatment, which you can buy on Amazon.
Use with superhot slim straighteners (will wash out if the straighteners aren’t hot enough). Do this in a well ventilated area, that stuff is toxic.
It’ll smooth your hair texture and give you looser, smoother curls which are super easy to straighten. It washes out after a few months.
I bet your hair looks really cute curly tbh.
1, 2, 3
So many people would be jealous of your cute curly hair if you embrace it. Most people can’t get that look, even with a perm.
But I get wanting your hair to be straight, I’ve felt that way before.

This is the type and brand that I use. Though this one is much newer and fancier looking than mine. As you may notice if you search more of this brand, a lot of them have 3 circular bladed heads that I imagine provide a much closer shave, but Ive never felt it was necessary to go for those for what I need it for. This one works better to create a clean looking edge for my beard, but I think the aforementioned kind has a sort of pop-out trimmer that can be used for the same purpose.
Hope this helps you.
Edit: Id also like to point out that I did use the kind with the 3 circular heads when I first started out and that kind irritated my skin. But that was 10 years ago and the shaver I was using was a cheap hand-me-down from my dad; definitely not as nice as they are now. If you're going for the completely clean shaven look it may be worth it to check those out. Always check reviews of course.
Most of the literary analysis I’ve seen focuses on race more broadly. Geraldine Heng has a lot of good material...her book Empire of Magic is what I used as an entry point to get into the subject, but it’s not an easy read. Her articles should all be available for free here. Black Legacies by Lynn T Ramey is also a good introductory book and has a section on mixed-race identity. For non-academic resources, the MedievalPOC blog and Elodie Underglass’ blog post “Black Knights, Green Knights, Knights of Color All Around: Race and the Round Table” are both very good.
If you want to go straight to reading the literature itself, Parzival and Moriaen have mixed characters, and Chaucer’s Man of Law’s Tale deals with mixed marriages.
There are lots of more resources out there, but this should be more than enough for an introduction :)
I know this is not a direct answer to your question, but you may be interested to know about two books: Mixed and Half and Half. So it seems there's a market for something similar. I'm working on a photography project about mixed race identity, and I've been pleasantly surprised at how enthusiastic people are about it - mixed families can be quite different, so I think your topic is one well worth exploring!
I’ve got 3B/3C mix going on. I can straighten my hair completely and by the end of the day it’s turned into 3A. It reaches the bottom of my back.
I’ve gone to a black stylist for awhile in the past but they still didn’t really understand my hair and wanted to put a lot of heat on it. Or relax it. My mom is Jamaican and she didn’t want me relaxing it. She let me do it once a year in high school and I had to use the child one lol!
My stylist now is just familiar with my hair. I let her cut it short the first and only time in my life 10 years ago and while it was much faster to straighten I hated how it looked when it was curly. I cut my hair about once or twice a year. They say it should be more more but I’ve had no problems growing it out. I use coconut oil once a month to condition it. I wash it about once a week or so depending on how sweaty I get or if I exercise a lot.
When I wear it curly and natural I use Shea Moisture Curl & Shine Shampoo and Conditioner Then I use Miss Jessie’s Multicultural Curls whiles it’s damp (a lot! I use a lot. My hair is so thick and it smells good and doesn’t get crunchy!) Then I diffuse it with the DevaCurl diffuser It was totally worth the price. My curls stay hydrated and long and don’t frizz.
If I straighten my hair I use Enjoy Straightener on my damp hair, blow dry with a round brush. Then use Enjoy Shine & Smooth oil before straightening. I usually only use heat the first and second day of straightening and if I use the iron again I spray Enjoy Protect & Shine It smells like strawberries.
You could wear a tasteful little star of David , but it might get awkward if you aren’t religious.
Back when that one creepy Weezer song about half-Japanese girls came out, people would ask me if I was half Japanese, and then act disappointed when I said I wasn’t. One of my actually close friends just could not remember my real ethnicity, and kept believing I was half Japanese. It was irritating. People would even tell me I looked Japanese, and act like it was a compliment. Like, I know you white people think the Japanese are the best and fanciest Asians, but I happen to prefer my own culture and ethnicity, thank you very much. I never did find a solution.
Thanks! I found this doll. I don't think it's an explicitly biracial doll but it looks a lot like her daughter. Your suggestion lead me to it! Thanks.
There are definitely fiction and non-fiction books on passing, if you're interested. During the Harlem Renaissance, Nella Larsen published [Passing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passing_(novel), which is a classic, for instance. Found an online version here.
A Chosen Exile: A History of Racial Passing in American Life is a great book if you want to read more about passing as a historical phenomenon.
>This book is about loss. Racial passing is an exile, sometimes chosen, sometimes not. . . Between the late eighteenth and the mid-twentieth centuries, countless African Americans passed as white, leaving behind families, friends, and communities without any available avenue for return. Lives were lost only to be remembered in family stories. This book is an effort to recover those lives.
>
>To pass as white was to make an anxious decision to turn one's back on a black racial identity and to claim to belong to a group to which one was not legally assigned. It was risky business. In today's multiracial society, the decision to pass may seem foolish, frivolous, or disloyal; it may be reminiscent of an unexpected plot twist in a novel or a film; or it may be understood as a desperate act compelled by the racial constraints of the bygone era of segregation and racial violence. Once circumvented the law, fooled coworkers, deceived neighbors, tricked friends, and sometimes even duped children and spouses, there were enormous costs to pay. In each historical period, those who passed experienced personal and familial losses differently. Their experiences open a window onto the enduring problem of race in American society and onto the intimate meanings of race and racial identity for African Americans. The predicaments of those who could pass as white offer a lens to view the changing meanings of race in American history. From the late eighteenth century to the present, racially ambiguous men and women have wrestled with complex questions about the racial conditions of their times, and they have fashioned complex understandings about their places in the world.
If my life has been as complicated as it has been because of my racial and familial background, I can only imagine what that must have been like a century ago. People to this day "pass" and still pay a price for it. Complex questions and complex understandings about racial conditions, for sure.
