    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?

    I think I will find out sometime later this year..but I guess we could just use the same products DP uses.

    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.
