Thanks for all the advice...I think I will try an afro, that's the way my mom always says she likes it anyways

She does like to get her hair done...it's just finding the time to do it. However, this is my issue...I feel like if I don't keep it braided or looking "done", all the black ladies at the mall are looking at me like I don't even know how to take care of my daughter's hair ( I have talked to people who think about some white parents w/ black kids)...I know, get over it, right?! I just want to do what's best for my child.
