For Joyia and Mariana, an interracial couple with a biracial adoptive daughter, hair care has been a journey made better and easier with community. As neither share a similar hair texture with daughter Eliza, theyve educated themselves on whats best by leaning into the support of their inner circle of friends for advice and tips. It takes a village, because I definitely did not have experience working with Joyias hair texture, Mariana says. I have somewhat wavy hair, and Joyia was not the best at doing hair, so it was a learning process for us. We had to rely on friends and people around us to help us do Elizas hair and learn what products to use.
