thanks Onyx, I've only just started using a baby shampoo, and I'm going to stop rinsing it with the soapy bath water every night and just wash it with the shampoo once a week instead. He still has baby hair on the top, the sides are fine but the top just looks like such a mess. Just fuzz that sticks out everywhere. I'm tempted to cut it off actually but it looks so nice when its curly from being wet so that stops me. I'll have to start using the leave in conditioner when he's a bit older, great idea thank you.
Personally I don't really like leave in conditioners but you'll get a feel for what you like later on.
Another product is moroccan oil, thats the brand name but the main ingredient is argan oil (lots of different brands). I love the stuff! I went from dark brown to platinum blonde and this stuff saved my hair made it so soft and my curls lush!
Only need a tiny tiny drop! I often run it through my hair then whatever is left on my hands run through DD's hair.

We have an African hair shop at our local shopping centre, sells all sorts of wonderful products and things for asian and african hair.
Perhaps there is one you can find near you?
toomanyshoes - ooh that oil sounds great, googling now!
LimeSlice - thanks but there are no shops like that here unfortunately. It's a small town and very annoying that there is not even a craft or fabric shop, let alone an African hair shop.
emc2 - you're lucky your DP already has some stuff if you need to use it. Although a friend of mine also recently had a white/African baby, and his hair is straight, not at all like my bubs.
My partner is Aboriginal, and he's grown his hair so it has more of a wave, however the photos of him as a toddler, he has curly hair.
He didn't know that he is possibly distantly related to a couple of presenters on ABC tv (anyone remember Clarence on Gardening Australia or the Black Olive chef?) He does look a bit like those guys.
We have a few African shops in Brisbane, there was one down the road from me here at one point. But most of them are on the other side of town. My brother's BIL is from west Africa, from Guinea.
