Angelina Jolie: I want curly haired African Barbie for Zahara

Actress can only find one with straight hair

The Changeling actress Angelina Jolie adopted Zahara from Ethiopia

Angelina Jolie says being a mum to kids from different parts of the world has taught her a lot.

But the actress, 33, would like the opportunity to speak to parents in the same situation.

'I’ve learnt a great deal, but there are lots of things I don’t know,' she says.

'I’d just love to sit around with other moms and ask questions about everything.'

Angelina and Brad Pitt, 44, are parents to four-month-old twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline.

They also have daughter Shiloh, 2, and adopted kids Maddox, 7, Pax, 4, and Zahara, 3.

'A lot of my questions would go to people who have mixed-race families, to ask about the smallest things,' she says.

'Like when Zahara, who’s Ethiopian, wants her hair to look like mine – because it won’t.

'I’ve looked for a Barbie that’s African, but the African Barbie has straight hair.'
