Just yesterday I was talking to a friend on Facebook about how cruel social media can be at times. There are no holds barred when it comes to sharing an opinion behind a smart phone or computer screen.
We have talked about this specific scenario before, parents sharing pictures of their children hoping to get a positive response but instead getting a ton of negative feed back.
In this case a mom installed faux locs on her little girl and Tweeted the above picture with the simple caption ‘Faux locs done by me’.
The backlash that happened after that included the following:
“This child on my TL with these faux locs looks like she’s in so much pain”
“Child abuse”
“DO NOT! DO NOT! DO NOT! GIVE A CHILD HAIR EXTENSIONS*, TRACKS, FAUX LOCS OR ANY SYNTHETIC S***! LET THERE NATURAL HAIR GROW!”
“Faux locs hurt me so bad I couldn’t go into work for two days. That poor child”
My approach to this scenario is that a style like that is not for my child. Faux locs might be great for another person’s child and who am I to tell a woman how to care for her own child.
On the flip side of things, moms need to understand that when you put your child out in a public forum, prepare for the trolls and opinionated key board typers of the world to pick your child apart.
Even though people say that they do not care about the opinions of others, that never transcends to the moment you decide to share any personal picture of you or your children.
Many readers called this mom out for child abuse based on the style choice. Now that is a serious allegation to make solely on the basis of a style.
When the accusations get that bad, posting the picture in the first place isn’t even worth it.
How is THISchild abuse and (excuse my language) but b**ches putting weave and fake hair in they childs hair at young ages OKAY. She couldve wanted themor starting dreads like, get out of other people business
You took the words right out of my mouth right there. So it’s ok for little girls to braids with synthetic hair and.to get regular dreadlocks but it’s not ok for this little girl to get faux locks? Really? Sound a bit hypocritical to me. This mother is NOT beating her child or starving her so I don’t see how the hell this is even considered abuse. These haters really need to get a life already and stop worrying about somebody else’s child and worry about their own,
Right!! They wanna talk about abuse how about the moms who make their kids do pagents… Putting them in heels make up fake hair and all that
Me personally I think weave in children’s hair whether it be box braids ,Ghana braids it anything else with weave is tacky we try to grow them up too quick with this weave,makeup tight clothes etc its too much
Hair extensions on children do not compare in anyway to tight clothes or makeup on a child.
People put braids in their girls hair (natural or synthetic) to keep from over processing it with products and styling. I have yet to see a child grow up too fast from having her hair braided. If that’s the case nearly every black girl grew up too fast because we all got our hair braided.
People are so quick to judge and offer their expert opinion, they don’t take time out to realize how dumb that opinion sounds.
Umm nobodyis givingan “expert” opinon and you obvisiouly have not seenthis generation you must be blind because alot of children nowadays grew upand or is growing up too fast. Certain stuff is not for a certain age group is all we are saying, if you have a problem with that then you can get off my comment. On topof that nobody said anything about a certain ethnicity either
Thats true and it’s a shame
ALL THESE MOTHERS OUT HERE PUTTING WEAVE IN THEIR CHILDREN HEADS AND SHE GOT CAUGHT??? SMH THAT’S F**KED UP!!!
People really need to learn how to mind their own damn business. When there’s a real case of child abuse those same damn f**ktards don’t open their damn mouth to say s**t.
B**ches perm their babies hair at 2 years old but THIS is abuse? Sleep. All of you need sleep. Lol it’s to tight but she doesn’t look like she’s hurting from it. Plus, I my ass beat with wooden spoons, belts, and shoes. I now suffer with being a responsible adult with common sense. Stop the press!
Not because there locks was done painful and s**t mean the little girl one was …. It the woman child let she do what she wants with her child …. I did not feel her 9 months of labour or go out to work to get the money to feed and care this child … I did not open my legs and feel the pain of pushing her out …. Her mother did … So it’s her mother right to do as she pleases
I don’t think so …
I did 5 on myself , couldn’t finish bc they hurt too bad
You didnt do them right lol
I’m a braider period . Maybe I just braid & wrap tighter than others
I’ve gotten them done before and they were tight…sharp, but tight. Depends on how it’s done and who does it.
Different people have a different tolerance for pain but I would never put this in my daughter head if she’s younger than 12
Ummmm confused. .. how is this abuse?
Looks a lil tight but… idk
Agreed
Umm little kids get box braids all the time, what makes this any different?
That’s what I’m saying
But she’s a little too young for them… They may be too heavy for her head and the scalp is not mature enough. Any type of extensions
No tighter then French braids
This is way too tight.. But I don’t see it as deserving to be called child abuse though, more like poor judgement..
hope she has a hairline at 16…
She’s way to young
Actually it’s is not like box braids or French braids because you have to do a regular (box) braid then add the other hair around so it’s like two braids on one. This is way to tight for this baby hair and it looks like she’s been crying from the pain. The words were very harsh tho. Also if she has never had any extension braids before this, faux locs most definitely has her in pain.
They’re really heavy…
Faux locks are braided first then hair wrapped tightly around braids. It is really tight and hurts, had done couldn’t lay down or sleep for 3 days and it hurts during the wrapping process.
I had them before and they’re not tight because my stylist does them a certain way that it makes it not tight , but I believe that it doesn’t matter what we have to say because people will do what they want to do with their child or children hair. We can post whatever we want but they’re still going to do what they want
It looks too tight mom don’t put that stuff in your baby’s hair.
This her baby head! Its plenty females that don’t even comb they baby head! It look tight but it will loosen up and she looks pretty
Has anyone stopped to think it’s kids with actually locs at her age is that abuse too?
Way too the tight. I starting doing my own and took it down the next day, very painful. Child abuse??? I don’t think so but I do think it’s not a very wise decision.
I’m just glad she’s doing her child’s hair. There is ways you can put them in were they ate not tight. Some of y’all have your kids running around with mops on their head.
Right I thought they were cute
But our parents burning us with those pressing combs off the stove wasn’t abuse? Ppl look for any reason to destroy and separate black families
First the baby eyes are red from crying second I have this hair style now and I’m going to be 20 you get a box braid first then they tightly go under your braid to your root tightly rap down basically I’m grown and I cried trying to sleep the first day
Her intentions were good but some styles shouldn’t be on a child. Just twist her hair and call it a day
Right doesn’t look like this little angel is lacking in the hair department ijs
Way too much sitting and weight on her head too.. Like she’s a child not an adult.
Ignorance is bliss! The hair platted first then the other hair is just simply twisted over it.
Amen girl!
Darlin, if you look closely at the child’s hair you can tell she already has a fine texture to it. That’s too much tension for that type of hair. It may end up doing more damage than it will good. Ijs tho.
Everybody HAVE SEVERAL SEATS. All of your assumptions are ridiculous! You assumed the girl sat for several hours when it could have been done in stages. You assume that the mother did the style to grow her hair, it’s just a hairstyle like any other, try something different. You assume that the girls texture is fine from looking at this pic (all edges are fine since that is all you can really judge)? How do you know the rest of her hair isn’t thick? Please don’t ever sit on a jury. Your judgement skills are poor.
Uhm Nikki, you made great points.. That doesn’t change the fact that she is young. I have worked in a hair and beauty shop for years and have watched as professional stylists do hair… And though I don’t have a problem with little girls getting their hair done, seldom is it done right for their age. Faux locks are almost always heavy because it is like braiding/styling the hair twice (the braid underneath plus the extension), regardless of whether or not extra hair is added for the braid… Now assuming she is as young as she looks, her scalp is still developing, along with other parts that are vital to hair development such as the hair shaft and follicle. This can be extremely damaging if not done properly… Not to mention depending on the weight it can actually cause her neck issues… I don’t have an issue with this hair style, but I have an issue with the fact that it may have been installed incorrectly = more for the vanity than the health… So please be respectful when you address people because clearly none of us know first hand but we have opinions, and we are giving them *sits up from my seat *
Faith this may be very true!
Darlin that is true, but depending on who does the hair it can be twisted over tightly, this requiring more hair, thus making it heavy.
People need somethin to do
That’s not child abuse. They make any and every little thing child abuse these days..
Maybe not abuse and she taught it would’ve looked cute, she didn’t mean no harm, I wouldn’t say child abuse
Looks a little tight, but I don’t see how this is abuse. It’s cute, neat and looks good on her.
That ain’t child abuse!!!
Ears Pierced, braids, heels, and outfits. If this is child abuse, then ppl been abusing they kids for a long time. I was getting my hair braided as a child, looking like I was Asian, and let’s not forget the pressing comb. Hey, at least her hair is combed!
Exactly.
Well said… Thank you.
Whether a person agrees or disagrees with extensions in a child’s head …you my dear have a very valid point
OK! I still flinch when I get my hair straightened.
Don’t forget about getting popped with the regular comb because you moved while they combed it
I shudder every time I see a hot comb but I doubt if anyone would have the balls to tell our parents that using a hot comb was child abuse. Truthfully, if people would stay in their own homes, mind their own business and try to resist from speaking out about EVERYTHING that they think is wrong or scratches their ass the wrong way, folks would be so much better off. There is really nothing wrong with little princess’s hair style. Some foolish numb nut with too much time on their hands, decided that it was abusive to do this to a little girl and now everyone is in a tizzy. Every mother with an ounce of sense will do whatever they need to do to get their daughters head done. Braids, cornrows, whatever. Get the job done. With all the crap going on in this world, faux locks is someone’s biggest priority??? Geesh!!!
Yeah, me too…
But truthfully I wish my mom had never ever gotten my hair braided. The first time I got them, my mom kept them in for 6 months and by the time she took them out my hair was so matted inside she had to cut them out. In retrospect, I see why mom grandmom went through the extent that she did pressing my hair and such. My hair was in the best health with my Grammy than it was with my mom, which was why my hair was shoulder length before getting the braids. It was too much for my mom to tackle on a daily basis because my hair is super thick.
Why do people think adding fake hair is the same as combing a child’s head. It’s not the same.
Extensions on a growing developing child’s scalp are unhealthy.
I don’t think it’s child abuse but I think they are too tight for this baby’s head. I don’t like any type of extensions on young children.
I saw that
I wore singles as a kid and still have long hair and a hairline and I’ve never permed it! But as I say if you didnt go through labor with the child mind yours unless there is danger involved
I agree and her hair looks thin.
That much strain on anybodies hair will eventually led to major breakage. Its simply too tight.
As an individual who often gets extensions in my hair I can say from experience just because it looks tight doesn’t mean it is tight. I’ve also had very positive results with hair growth due to the extensions.
It’s too much for her to handle as a baby
My kids have extensions. I have three girls and it makes there hair last longer. Instead of getting there hair done weekly it last a Month or two
Child abuse is not doing your child’s hair!!!!
No, that is not child abuse. That is child neglect.
Not doing a child’s hair is not child abuse nor child neglect. Not washing and keeping it moisturized, so that it doesn’t dry out or break, is considered poor hair care, for anyone. I feel that most of us black people feel that “our children” must have their hair braided, ponytailed, or curled. However, it’s ok for other races to not do a thing to their kids’ hair…ijs
SMDH this is not considered Child Abuse
How is child abuse kids get box braids and they real hair dreaded whats the problem with this
Faux locs is very uncomfortable during the the first couple of days after installing them. Looking at the pictures, the little girl’s faux locs look very tight.
Ppl have too much time on their hands. Nothing is wrong.
They have nothing else better to do.
WHAT???????? SMH… HER HAiR LOOKS REALLY NiCE… SHE’S ADORABLE.
They r cute
People are so judgemental. Mom can’t win if she does her hair or she doesn’t
What’s the difference between faux locs and real ones? To each is own!
This isn’t child abuse
I would rather see a child with faux locs than a nappy ass head now thats child abuse
I wonder did all of you say that when people said Beyonce should comb her child’s head?
That’s differ blu was rocking the natural
No she wasn’t half the time she looked a mess, like she just got of the bed! But I’m sure its OK for beyonces kid right? Everyone else is a nappy headed mess!!!shame
Yeah I guess so………….
6 months -a year down the line she’ll be balding. I’m a children’s hair stylist and THIS is a damn shame
Ain’t nothing wrong with natural hair it’s a difference tho between a nappy head that looks unkept and natural styling that looks healthy
Ok I see you clarified the comment. my bad
There’s plenty of styles that can be done that are more age appropriate. I hear adults talking about how this particular hair style is extremely painful and a man said the same thing.
There nothing wrong with a child having natural hair styles or a fro long as it combed groomed kept up.
Excuse yall sisters but my hair is nappy and I wear it in many styles
It’s not that serious, it’s the same as getting braids and we’ve all had braids with weave in our hair as a child. If she would’ve stop at the braids and posted the picture, no one would’ve complained. It’s cute and neat. People take things so far beyond context nowadys it’s ridiculous!
I’ve never had braids with weave as a child.
Well I did.
And that whole myth about kids that wear braids and twist not having edges is false. I always had braids and I’ve always had edges.
Um I never got braid extensions as a little kid . I didn’t get braid extensions untill I was a teen and I only got a twice and hated it. My mom had my real hair in braids with bows and barretes. Most black girls have real braids and twists with bows beads and barretes.
I didn’t get weave in my hair until I was 14 maybe because my hair was down my back NO SHADE my parents didn’t play that weave ish and neither do I
My daughter has long, thick hair and I get it braided with weave often! It doesn’t damage her hair, and the style lasts longer when you add weave to it! It is a time saver for busy moms! I don’t knock anyone for what they do to their OWN child’s hair!
Lol lol
I think it’s greater things to worry about other than this,I think it’s simply(cute)it’s done and she looks like a little girl,wow really if the child hair was a mess you would have something to say Jesus get a life like really!
It’s her child. She can fix her hair anyway she wants.
The child hair looks nice and yes it’s a little tight but it doesn’t make any difference when a parent is doing real dread locks in their kids head
To much WEAVE!!
Bitch get a life! && bite me.
I think when you said “too much weave” you meant for a child…that’s evident! I agree. Do I wear weave? Yes, Would I put it in my daughter’s hair at a young age as such? No. Do I wear make-up? Yes. Would I put it on my daughter’s face? No. I think kids should be kids and we as parents need to be more creative in expressing our children’s natural beauty, until they are old enough to make decisions on exploring otherwise!
Right! I meant for a little girl, that’s to much weave. Her scalp is red I’m sure because its to tight.
It also saddens me how ppl assume that “long hair” doesn’t exist in the black culture. The ignorance…I am a black woman, with black family members with hair down their backs. So when we wear weave, honey, we are still a reflection of our culture!
How is this child abuse? Over here in Africa we do something similar with yarns as protective hairstyles for kids.What’s wrong with this?This Americans you have major ish!! Smh.
Well I guess we all were abused getting the pony tails so tight you looked asian back in the day
Her child her business point blank period
Y ??????? These people dont no our culture…f off. Dummies…
It looks tight but not child abuse, if it’s unbearable to the child and she still left them in then that’s different but we will never know…cute non the less
These haters need to just stfu and get a life already.This is NOT child abuse.
Ctfu
To each it’s own. I guess if it don’t hurt….. Actually Idc. Not my kid. Wouldn’t to it to mine don’t like fake hair in their heads. Plus it looks tight. But it is just a photo. May not be right at all.
People make me understand how this is child abuses!!! Please!!
Because they just typing something
Wth…. she Cute with her locs
From personal experience of doing them. Everyone I’ve done them on so far says they are painful and not only do I do these I also do twist and braids and don’t get complaints! So I know this baby head has to be hurting from the simple fact of wrapping the hair and trying to get a smooth look. I wouldn’t scream child abuse but I wouldn’t recommend these for ANY CHILD!
I agree. From the looks of the pictures looks like she’s been crying. You know after kids get their hair done they’re super happy. She looks miserable.
Right I don’t care how gentle you try and be with faux locs they’re going to be painful period. The person who did them should’ve told the mom no. Some things are age appropriate and in this case it’s not because of the pain.
At least her damn hair done. Some on yall kids walkin round here lookin like don king let people raise their own kids nobodys two cents is needed or wanted
Always about the race..smh
Mayb its abuse because its TOO DAMN TIGHT… Look like the poor childs scalp IS about to BLEED!!! IJS
Too Tight!
Clearly the little girl is unhappy! Damn let her live her young life.
They’re always the ones so quick to shout child abuse.
It’s not child abuse but I’ve had those in my hair before and the tightness is excruciating where I had to sleep in one position to avoid extra pain. I’m worried that she may be uncomfortable with so much pain and the extreme stress on her growing hair causing breakage or permanent hair loss.
My daughters school asked me to not put beads in her hair because one of the ( third graders might choke on one ) When her hair is flat ironed, my baby tells me they ask if her hair is real * I DEAL WITH THIS ON A DAILY BASIS *
its abuse for getting her child’s hair done? 4real?
I guess box braids child abuse , I guess when you do pig tails and they look tight it’s child abuse, I guess corn rows in those cute designs child abuse. Omg if the child not in tears over this then stfu
They are too tight not abuse but try another style and stop posting all your business on Facebook
How is this business tho.. half of fb post their kids when they think they are cute. It’s not her fault.
Like I said stop posting everything on Facebook everyone don’t post there kids on Facebook . if u don’t want the comments just don’t post and share period!!
It looks very pretty …..as long as she was willing to sit for it who cares. Everybody wants to label everything child abuse anymore so stupid
It looks too tight on her head which is the only issue I see but as long as the parent is grooming child mine your business.
People are still putting 500 beads on each of a child’s braids but it’s their choice. Parents use 500 barrettes in their child’s head they have more than a Christmas tree has ornaments so what is the difference!!
Her child. Her decision. Your opinions don’t count. All the perfect mothers of the world…I wish someone would tell me what to do with my child’s hair or if they think its appropriate based on “their standards”.
i dont see the abuse i got box braids her age so wth
When I was young my aunts would braid my hair so tight that my eyes would slant. It was ok then. But let this mom not do her her child’s hair and then it’s neglect. How about people mind their own business
It amazes me how everyone quick to tell someone what to do in their household smh this world will be a better place if people just mind their business.If this child were walking around with a picky head then you still will be judgmental.
Faux locs definitely do not hurt. I barely feel a thing but still shes too young for weave period.
They do hurt
Child abuse??
I don’t see anything wrong with them besides being too tight.
I wouldn’t put them in my daughter’s hair but that is her child. It does look tight and the little girl is not smiling in any of the pictures. Even when my daughter is fussing while getting her hair done, she is very excited and posing afterwards.
Child abuse?? What the heck ? How ppl go find something n do . Like really. there child out there that are really being abused. My gosh. It looks tight yes but child abuse oh please ..
Her hair looks pulled too tight but a side from that it’s cute!
I didn’t know doing your child’s hair was child abuse….I guess I better stop doing my daughters hair and my sons dreads….but I might get locked up for child neglect….. There’s no winning now ah days
It only looks tight because her hair is fine and to achieve the style the hair has to be gripped a certain way which causes it to appear tight looking at the scalp. Its a hairstyle and she looks absolutely beautiful with it so cut the crap tryina accuse her mother of abuse just because she wanted to style her chjilds hair a certain way. Who tf made this “abuse” thing up any way Juliana rancic???
Child abuse are the parents that relax they’re child’s hair before their hair gets a chance to mature.. I like the style personally it looks a lil tight and child does look a lil pissed but its no worst than those Saturday night ya mom used to press you out or braid you up. Cmon now
If this is abuse, little girls shouldn’t get box braids either. I think it’s cute. This could be the moms first time trying this style. Get over it.
Child abuse? People please…. Btw, the locs are adorable.
Where is the abuse in this case? Faux locs is the same as box braids or twists, I’ll go as far as to say they look really tight however her hair is done .. Maybe this is over my head but I fail to see the abuse here.
That ain’t child abuse… It’s just ignorance..
Child abuse is when you DONT COMB YOUR CHILDS HAIR! No one yelled child abuse when lil Blu ivy was loooking lil sn orphan child!!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 pppppppppppphaaaahaaaa
Child abuse is when these idiot parents post videos on how they’re punishing their kid by shaving off their hair and humiliating them. That BS is child abuse, this is not the same as a mom proudly showing off talented work. Them dumb asses with these punishment videos I don’t get, who they trying to convince? Us or themselves that they are disciplining their kids? Please
If they were too tight then.
But Honestly child abuse. STFU.
Truly a crazy mom those braids are to heavy for that child do she look happy
It’s too tight but I have seen worse not my choice for a kid but hey they was nicely done
I personally won’t put fake locs in my child hair because of the fact it Will be too tight. But I don’t find its child abuse. What I do find is bad is weaving a young child hair.
That’s far from child abuse, her hair is being pulled too tightly but children get braids with added hair all the time. Folks need to research what abuse really is instead of throwing such a serious word around.
That was her niece and I think ppl like making a uproar about anything
Nice lookng betta than some weaves I’ve seen
Love the fact you keep your child hair did and I love how neat and pretty YOUR princess hair is……
Wow… At least the baby hair is comb and she’s not one of those mother’s that send their child to school with their hair not combed and teacher feels sorry and combed the baby hair… To me that’s child abuse… Ijs!
Her mother is a dumb a**..really…that baby didn’t need that…look at her hair..its fine.as hell..laziness n ignorance go hand in hand ..my opinion..
Not child abuse.
Stupid
Damn If You Do
Damn If You Don’t
????
Mfks always got sumn to say n there kids head prolly ain’t never did. This is beautiful braides r OK but I’m so against the tracks b n put in kids head. Who Eva did this rocks and this baby is beautiful n look like she’s well taken care of
I don’t have a problem with the faux locks . It’s just too tight for her scalp which can cause damage we have to be carefully
How is this abuse?
How is a hair style child abuse… It’s cute… Like a little tight tho
Did I mention she did a really good job…
This is considered child abuse because…???
How is this any different from braid s with them damn 10,000 beads on it.
So now she gotta walk around like all these grown women with their hair starting in the middle of their head looking like the damn predator. cuz no edges…Sad..
Not Child Abuse just not a good decision..
I’ll say this…a lot of us on this post were brought up differently….some of us never had weave in our heads until we were a teenager or dang near grown….like myself….and some of us had weave in our heads as small children….i did not…does that make it child abuse???no…BUT…depending upon how you were brought up…it may or may not be suitable for a small child..like the lil beauty on the pic…BUT I WILL SAY THIS…at the end of the day…that is HER child and as long as her child’s head isn’t nappy…all over her head …or basically unkept….we really don’t have an argument…js….
Ain’t nothing wrong with it. Mutha f**kas needa mind their BI.
This little girl was in tears. You can see the redness in her face..I don’t think it is CHILD ABUSE, but hopefully next time she will reconsider…
They look painful. Her hair looks to fine to be pulled that tight. The fact that boo boo isn’t smiling for the camera makes me think she’s not to fond of mamas creation either lol
Well what about kiddie RELAXERS??! That’s straight up Chemicals sold in a cute box sold in every store you can think of!! And so many little girls hair and scalp gets damage or burned from that now tell me is that child abuse???
Abuse is a bit strong.
Smh! that is too damn tight and Un comfortable just for show , u don’t give a s**t how the child feel poor baby I feel your pain at least I was able to do something about it take aleve or take it out and I’m a grown woman….
I think it looks too tight. I was never a fan of weaves nor extensions especially on a little girl. She is a kid as a kid you should be wearing wearing your own hair. That’s what I think!
Amen
Why should kids be wearing their own hair? Is that a law or something?
People wanna tell black people how to raise our childern somebody should’ve told bruce jenners parents how to raise HIM
It’s not child abuse….Just my,opinion: But these look mighty tight on her and she just too young for these maybe some twist with her natural hair! #Js
Child abuse is extreme….wow! I don’t like this style on children though
The faux locks look cute. The child’s hair is done and it looks neat. What’s the problem?
I loved getting my hair braided as a child.
They’re lame. Lol Alexis Allen
They look heavy.
i would rather that than seeing a child with perm in her hair
Man looking at ur child now a days is “child abuse” smh…..back in the day if u did something wrong the whole block would whoop that ass…..now doing hair is wrong!? #Outragous
Nothing wrong with the baby’s hair or the mother…she obviously takes very good care of her daughter this is stupid & beyond dumb…all these momas slapping caustic chemicals in their daughter’s hair are probably the main ones talking shit…anybody accusing them of child abuse?…that shit actually burns scalps…Stop perming ur kids hair teach them to love their natural texture ol brainwashed heffas
I wonder if she was of another race will it still be child abuse.
Child abuse… not even close.
But from the looks of the baby hair and roots, she looks to have a very decent grade of hair that should not be hard to mange daily. So I really don’t see the need for extentions of any kind.
Tamera L. Connor this cute but too tight
Go read my comment
Its beautiful
um first and for most this is HER child and HER child’s hair and can do what ever she pleases to HER child’s hair.. I guess getting braids is “child abuse” too huh? .. get outta here .. smh.. mind y’all own!
No child that young needs to have that mess in their hair. Stop being lazy and impatient and comb/take care of the hair that God gave the child.
Yeah, because you know her all too well. Stop ghettofying your damn children!
how is that ghettofying or being lazy? its just like braids an its a protective style lol
That kid in the picture is still a baby/toddler. Protective styling is not needed for babies. Take care of your children hair and stop making them into sodeshows. If anything, she’s destroying that child’s hair.
Oh please
Theirs nothing wrong with kids wearing fake hair like braids and this style. Some parents don’t have time to do their child’s hair or some parents don’t know how to manage their child’s hair. So think about that for a sec.
There are people really defending this, look at the sides or the childs head, that looks like it hurts not to mention it will pull out her hair.
I had these years ago and they were painful when I got them until I removed them. They are beautiful but the traction is too painful for a child to withstand.
They are so cute on her. Its easier for the school week as well. Lashay Houston look at these Natalie Harrison
Looks real tight and maybe a bit heavy for a child
But theyre so cute though!..
Always find a reason to call someone a bad parents
Then what happens to the mother’s that put to many damn beads on little girls hair with weave from the root on down
Those are VERY CUTE A Lexi Carothers,but Child Abuse, more like you said saving time during the week.
These people be crazy…
They crazy ass hell ain’t no child abuse… When I was little I had braids with hair added people do the most
I’m just saying lol we all have ppl can say and do the most for the media
Too tight. Poor baby…
I think “abuse” is a bit extreme. CPS is already overwhelmed & has more severe cases they should be focusing on. At least the child’s hair is done & looks presentable! However, I agree it looks a little too tight & maybe mom went a bit too far (maybe some twists or natural braids are enough?) but I’m not judging. S**t people, find something to do.
Installed?
I see it like this, it’s her child and her choice to do her hair anyway she wants 2 without people callings it abuse. A nice job done but, it is 2 tight for her. If anything all we do is give advice on how she can loosen up on that style next time so it doesnt pull as much. Overall im feeling that style just go easy on the next style.
Somebody Needs A Job, Too much dam time on their hands. This not child abuse. Every parent is entitled on how they want their childs hair done or groomed.
Rashida Allison Hunter Mitchell
Wtf!
If feel sorry for that child hair line.
Wow really! Her lil hair is pretty’ long as it’s not to tight, for her scalp! Dang if the mother was the type not to keep her baby hair fix! People will talk about that too! #dam if she do’dam if she don’t! People pleasing I don’t think so.
definitely not child abuse
My daughter had this hair style( she’s 27yrs old) and she was in severe pain for days. Hopefully her’s aren’t as tight but she’s very cute
Same child abuse for during your child hair but you got dirty bitches out here beating there kids upside the head leave them home for days by their self..
It’s not child abuse, but it is foolishness.
It’s not child abuse. But it is too tight on her head. I had those in and had to take headache pills. But that’s her CHILD.
Ima need people to worry about their own kids its nothing wrong with the childs hair..its age appropriate
The child abuse is from the person who posted someone else’s child on social media. Don’t play with mines
There’s nothing wrong with this?…. And its definitely NOT child abuse…its a hair style…no different than box braids…maybe a bit too tight for baby girl but honestly I think people just look for somebody to stone everyday…
I love em fyck erbody
Wow it’s just a hairstyle. I used to get braids in the summer all the time and I turned out just fine.
To each his or her own… I wouldn’t do it but her kid her business
Awular Djormor Dee hav u been abusing Eli babe??? lol
Sad thing is the only persons who deals with the reality is the child. Mothers can’t do nothing right. Leave it natural People talk shIt. Put effort into it, people talk shit… What would be perfect
It looks painful
All I got to say is “Toddlers & Tiara’s” they were on there putting fake lashes, teeth, hair (extensions & wigs) spray tans /tanning salons and fake nails on babies. But they want to say this is child abuse.
Wait why do people care about how this woman does her child’s hair. People are really getting out of hand how does this grown ass woman get “chastised” for doing her baby hair how she wants.
Really?! Who are these people and where they come from space? Blasted idiots. They need to bash the mother who permed her 2 year hair and the one who put weave in her 4 year old head.
But she’s a little too young for them… They may be too heavy for her head and the scalp is not mature enough … Wouldn’t say child abuse maybe the mother didn’t know
Arimentha Wynn-Smith
I can’t like it. It’s not abuse but I still don’t like it
Child abuse?!?
This article is bullish
I don’t think it’s child abuse but they look tight as hell
It’s not child abuse, faux locs , box braids is what little girls is wearing now and days, now if she was the install a a sew in weave , I’ll call it child abuse !!
This child abuse?!? That’s a little extreme….I would agree they look a little tight and the baby don’t look too Happy but not abuse..I don’t agree with putting extensions in lil girls hair because their hair is still fragile (baby hair). But folks can do as they want with their kids hair shouldn’t be nobody’s business ijs
I’m not sure I would qualify this as abuse…but it certainly looks very uncomfortable and tight. I can only imagine what that feels like when trying to sleep. Maybe not appropriate for a child this age?
I think the child’s hair looks nice (tight but still nice). People don’t know the true definition of child abuse. GTFOH with that child abuse bs!!!!
If it’s too tight and painful the only benefit you’re getting is damaged hair/ sores/ alopecia etcetera. Some side effects are irreversible. Protect your hair underneath because once you remove the extensions your going to need more extensions because you’ve lost your hair.
I did that and I could not sleep for days,that was the first and last time,I have no problem with braids this style is very painful poor baby:(
The only problem I see here is that they look kinda tight. Question: if this was a pic of a little girl with those tight bowrettes with her edges laid would it be labeled as child abuse or would people say she was cute & edges “slayed.”
Well we had our real hair in clacker balls and they were just as tight!! I looked like I had Botox injections she had me hair so slicked back!
La MonaLisa Williams is this ok?
You know there’s people who have installed fake dreads in their hair and kept it in for a long time so it can blend in with the natural hair, that’s what my cousin did over 10 years ago
It’s her child. She can do whatever she wants to her hair.
I think the faux look really good, nice neat and her hair is comb, but like everyone it’s my opinion…
I was thinking the same thing
Wouldn’t call it child abuse but is a grown hair style for a kid… I don’t think no one under the age of 16 should have that style but that’s just me
Just wrong!!!
Cute
Not abuse this is done always in our culture!
What’s wrong with it????
Just because I don’t care for the style on the child doesn’t mean it’s child abuse. I’d rather see this than a relaxer
If you don’t understand our culture stay out of it!
Gone with the bs please
This is age appropriate,what are they talking about?
I think they are cute. At least she combed the baby’s hair.
I don’t think it’s child abuse, she GOT HER HAIR DONE. Lol
I think they are too tight for this baby’s head.
I don’t see nothing wrong with she hair,very nice job 🙂 🙂
It’s pretty and a protective style. People need to get a life.
How is that child abuse. Reaching.
I would think her mother didn’t put them tight and if the baby complains (which all do with any type of braiding) she will soothe and help ease pain. To each is on but my daughter is natural. I want her to embrace natural beauty first and foremost. Too much brainwashing stereotypes on how women especially young girls should dress.
You comb a little girls hair that is so thick you can’t get the comb through it everyday before school and see how you feel about faux locs.
That’s a strong hard statement. Child abuse! !! Some ponytails and cornrowss look tight too, but no mom would be accused of child abuse. I would have deleted all the negative comments. This mom took time to do her little princess hair and I would hope if it hurt too much she would take it down. People need to keep their nastiness to themselves.
Labeling this as child abuse is absurd smh.
Not child abuse
those things look really tight.
Ok it looks a lil tight but to call it child abuse may be a bit extreme. Me personally I wouldn’t put weave in my daughter hair period, but thats just me.
I just think it looks too tight and I don’t think she likes it. But not child abuse to me.
Omg no
She did a good job. Wonder how much she charge!
Her child it is. Question should ask , Is her daughter in pain? Ouch!!! If so yes take those things out. I just hope her hair doesn’t get pull out. She looks really young like 4 and you can see she still has her baby hair. So to me the faux braids look like they are just to much on her scalp. I’m sure if they do hurt the mom will just take them out. Not so much child abuse maybe just not right choice doing faux braids.
She looks cute!
Ppl are annoying. This isn’t child abuse
A lot a braids may look tight but may not be. I bet her teacher lift up the braids and the little girl probably said it hurts her. It’s going to hurt her if it’s freshly done.
I think she look so cute . At least she isn’t wearing a straight weave or . Plus these parents can’t talk most of them put long braid extensions and straight weaves in their 5 year old kids hair and DON’T take care of it . Now their kids have no edges and their hair is falling out from lack of moisture and tlc. So they CAN’T TALK . As long as that mother is taking care of her child’s hair even with loc extensions in it’s ok .
If her hair wasn’t being combed they call that neglect. Folks need to get a gripe,just need to be indifferent
I don’t think it’s child abuse but I had these before, the install time is long and they hurt for a while. It took me almost 2 weeks to even put them in a ponytail. Wrong style for a child
Ppl just want to have a reason to say something. I bet whoever it is they children are not cared for properly.
PEOPLE need to mind their damn business
Looks fine to me
How is this child abuse?? No different from braids with extensions .,
1 that’s not child abuse at all 2 opinions are like ass holes everyone got one…,3 that’s th a woman child…,the little,girl looks clean and healthy so who is it to us to judge. …raise your own Damn kids and stop worrying about others
Oh wow…no i haven’t seen this … that is crazy.. it looks extremely tight on her daughters hair but i dont agree that its child abuse!
What position is anyone to tell a mother what to do with her child’s hair? People need to keep their opinions to themselves and get their lives together. These are the end times if this is child abuse. At least she did the child’s hair… Hint hint.
I think there nice
Black folk get on my nerves. If you don’t comb your child hair the way they want they have something to say… worry bout your own bebe kids
F**k all that there is only 1 person that should know better and that’s her mother that little girl is beautiful without that painful hair style so why make her look grown? Because y’all don’t know no damn better especially the ones that don’t see nothing wrong please people let your little girls be little girls and stop raising these kids to fast and maybe they wwon’t end up pregnant at 16 we gotta do better but yet it’s just a hairstyle why so serious I’m tired of these new generations they’re getting worst and worst and one day my daughter will be a part of a new generation and I’ll be damn my poor baby probably won’t have no friends smh
I think it’s cute tbh
How tf is this child abuse? Because she have fake hair in her hair like I’m really lost here…… Like stoppppp it frfr
But if they were too tight, as light as she is, wouldn’t her head be red or bumped up? I braid my girls hair all the time and not saying I’m happy but I’ve made the mistake of braiding too tight before and instantly they turn red or automatically bump up and I’ve had to take it down. But I’m just curious… The baby looks tired not like she’s hurt in anyway
That’s not child abuse please
Looks good tho!!!
Um what about all the fake hair, fake lashes, fake tans these mothers put on their toddlers for pageants? No different.
I wouldn’t choose this style for my 5 year-old daughter, but I wouldn’t call it child abuse. I don’t think its age appropriate and it looks heavy, that’s just my opinion. At the end of the day, it’s not my child or my place to tell the mother how to style her daughter’s hair.
Her scalp is red. Too tight. But not child abuse. I dislike seeing kids with weave in their hair. Whatever happened to berets? That is why you see kids with no edges now. But to each their own. If I don’t like it… I won’t do it to my kid but I won’t judge another parent for it.
Looks really tight in the front.
Neat, clean and cute!
Beautiful
Poor baby that s**t hurts but its not abuse
Do it hurt or something???????
They are not cute, no fake hair is cute on a child. She’s teaching her to hate her own hair. When she gets older she can decide if she wants to wear a weave, get braids or wear a wig. Until then her natural hair is the only way to go
I don’t know what to call it, but people put things in their kids hair, and it’s pulling it out at the front never to grow back, it’s something. Once people learned that the hair never grows back why keep doing it. You see grown women on the street that has this same issue, but I guess as long as people pay for it they get what they want. She is adorable any way they do her hair.
Look at how tight they are
Really
A wee bit tight but hardly abuse.
They need to shut down the whole toddlers in tiaras operation then
I wish parents would teach children to love and care for their own hair. When they are older they will make their own decisions as far as how they would like to wear it. There is nothing wrong with adding in hair but teach your children first that their hair is beautiful. I saw a seven year old with no edges last weak… That little girl will probably have a complex for the rest of her life.
Look like it hurts
this just looks painful. You can see the hair pulling at the root. Whyyyyy?! And they look heavy. Her nights are going to be a struggle. If I were mom, I would take it out the same day. Kids that age don’t need extensions. Just braid their hair or twist it…anything but this torture.
I’d rather those than see a child get their ears pierced!!!
Uh her edges will be permanently damaged… This is far worse than ear piercings….this is going to affect her as she gets older
Ear piercing is forever! Hair can go back, but her edges were left out and if we aren’t there we can’t say how tight they are.
Cute.but they do look tight tho
Those do look painful
Me personally I think weave in children’s hair whether it be box braids ,Ghana braids it anything else with weave is tacky we try to grow them up too quick with this weave,makeup tight clothes etc its too much
I agree that you can do what ya like to ya child but extension of any kind may not be the best option!!!
#nosidesbeforekindergarten
Why are we so obsessed on what another woman does to her kids hair? As long as she’s not pulling it out or letting it matte up then we shouldn’t care. I personally don’t care she let her kid wear blue and pink braids with bird feathers in them. It might seem ghetto, but it’s not hurting me or the kid! Get over yourselves! From a plain afro to dreads to braids and extensions it’s still their business. As long as the kid isn’t hurt or in danger. Of course no chemicals around really young kids though.
She will have no edge line in a month. That’s why people have sonething to say someone has to say it… Maybe the mother doesn’t get it
Perhaps she’s done that before. If you know her you should tell her that. I’m just saying plenty of girls and women have braids etc and their hair doesn’t fall out. My children don’t get braids with weave or any of that, but I did as a child and my hair is still thick. From one picture we can’t say her hair is going to fall out.
Well seeing as how that baby’s edges are already going back…abuse? No. Is she doing too much? Yup. Folks be in denial about it and be taking their edges out the whole while.
I can understand installing this style if the child or mother is interested in starting locs. This style would just give them insight into what to expect.
I don’t like weave on children, buts far from child abuse. I know getting my natural hair combed used to hurt like hell every day. I guess my mom was abusing me lol
I don’t understand, if it’s my child.. I put in the style.. Its my damn child.. Woman should get chastise for slping with married ass men and getting pregnant, among all the shameful things
I wouldn’t call this child abuse….with her being a small child, its just a bad choice in hairstyling I’d say.
If don’t find it any different that twist, plaits or braids its the summer time a mother will do what’s convenient . It could have been worst like a bond in please get over yourselves .
It sucks that she’s too young to take pain relievers though
People can be so stupid who ever said this is child abuse there child’s head is probably nappy as ever right now.
Thats no different from all the weaves & extensions people be putting in these babies heads all the time. I’ve become numb to seeing a 4year old with a hairdo that’s half her body weight. But it’s not child abuse, just wat those mothers choose to do with their children’s hair.
I’m personally not a fan of using fake hair in a child’s head but I wouldn’t call it abuse. The mom has the right to style her child’s hair however she wants. That’s like saying she’s abusing her child because of an outfit. It’s all for looks.
That’s just dam stupid… Little girls wear dreads.. nappy hair.. latch hooks and all types of weave.. get a grip..
Nothing wrong with it…
Its cute
Yeah, but she will be sans edges before high school if they keep pulling her hair like that. It’s cute, but hard on the hairline
We all know this isn’t a case of child abuse because if her hair was in a big ol’ nappy fro then ppl would have a problem with that as well. Having extensions hurts and the poor child’s scalp is probably sore but different strokes for different folks. Her hair is done and the child looks well.period.
I cried just getting my hair combed as a child so Ofc she wouldn’t have been crying. People need to stay of other’s business although I don’t agree with braid for young kids
It might hurt if she get it combed or brushed into a ponytail. Some people just need to feel relevant so I guess this is their way. Smh
What’s wrong with it?
I don’t see the problem except for the fact that they look so tight and her scalp looks a little red mommy did a great job
…just watch those edges…I used 2 get braids all the time as a kid and I’m fine…people need 2 get over themselves
And btw it’s her child so she can do what she wants to her child’s hair. It’s not about what people think is suitable for a small child.
This is the most unnecessary article I have ever read. Her hair was cute not to grown and well kept. Kids who hair is all over is called lazy parenting. But to take the time like this is caring about your child’s appearance. Those things take time and patience, if you ask me. Good parenting!
Right ,
I’m trying to figure out what’s the difference between her having box braids or her mother actually dreading her hair & this . . .
It’s all the same if you ask me . I think it’s cute . She not walking around looking like a rugrat
I add in my girls hair a lot and with beads. So I thought they were over privileged but really they’re abused I get it. Lol petty ass people.
Lmao. My mama & auntie kept our hair in braids with fake hair & beads . And yes it hurt us . But abuse nah . That’s taking it a little far .
Beautiful! I love this style…
How is this child abuse? We have plenth of folks that don’t even take a comb to their children’s hair.
If they were too tight her scalp would b red… No sign of that… I think they r cute they aren’t to long …. This is wayyyy better then stuff other people do with their children.. I see nothing wrong with this
How it’s no different then braids
So people r upset b/c she comb her child hair I’m confused Tara Saviet
It looks really tight
I braided both of my daughters hair, my sons hair, my baby sister’s hair and many others hair, when they were children. They all have a head full of hair today, as adults. If I could, I would post the pictures. Funny, no one every said anything disagreeable about me combing MY CHILDREN’S hair. Everyone always thought their hair was beautiful. You can’t win with people. Your damned if you do, your damned if you don’t. Just keep moving forward…
Children don’t need fake anything. ..duh
Mek them gweh
Lol abuse!
It hurt getting my hair done as a kid. I wouldn’t yell child abuse just because a hairstyle is too tight.
Dang I didn’t think it was that serious…
If that’s child abuse then what does that make relaxing a child’s hair? Attempting murder? Pssh. I’ve seen cornrows on children looking way tighter than this. Not that I condone them being tight but to yell child abuse is just too much
Nothing wrong with that babies hair if this is what the mother prefer. She has her reasons for doing her child’s hair this way. Whether we agree or not it’s get choice-at least the babies hair is done….
That’s not abuse.. Ppl need to stop
Someone doesn’t know the real meaning of ” child abuse.”
Its nice but , looks like the hair is pulling though around her edges
What about the young parent’s that pierce both ears on a baby boy? If that child’s wasn’t combed they would talk about that too. Smh
Really smh
It just looks like it is too tight
Why does it matter how someone decides to do THEIR child’s hair . Omg you guys criticize for everything. If the child’s hair isn’t done or appears to look like it’s not , there is a problem . If the child wears box braids there’s a problem . If it’s relaxed there’s a problem. It may be to heavy but no of your opinions matters. Idk why this matters anyways to the public because the parent decided what to do with their child’s hair not any of our opinions.
If she wants her daughter to have faux locks that’s her business. How is it child abuse? I’m letting my 3 yr old grow dreds is that abuse? People always have some negative to say… SHUT UP AND MIND YOUR BUSINESS
Faux loccs are soooo desparate looking on anyone.
If she didn’t comb her child hair that’s abuse.
They tripping
Not “child abuse” but too tight I wouldn’t do it to my daughter. And it could most definitely cause hair loss, but its her kid so who cares. “Shrugs”
Why??? …is her scaple bleeding,white pus bumps around her hair line?…I don’t see any of those things..some people need to grow up ASAP
It looks too damn tight and she too damn young
It looks really painful.
She used this child as a damn maniquin! Why install faux locs on a child that young? You can look at the pic and tell those are way too tight! Child abuse NO, dumb ass decision YES! next time order a 100% human haired maniquin off eBay for $80
What’s wrong with this?
It’s too tight,heavy,and personally i wonder how the child slept that night….
By the time she’s 10 she will have no edges…
Haters!love company
So, let me get this straight…
A woman can’t comb her baby’s hair the way that she wants without ridicule, but these trifling women have have biracial (black) babies and NOT comb their hair AT ALL with no issue?!
GTFOH!!!
Meanwhile some child somewhere is hungry
Who said so? Whatever just look tooo tight on the baby
Looks painful….
That her child she makes all the decision who are we to say what is right or wrong
It’s no different than perming and pressing straightening I mean at least you can take these out you can’t undue heat damage and a perm
Damn
she doesn’t look very happy
Wow so getting my hair braided as a child was child abuse? Ugh leave this mom alone and actually crack down on real child abusers out there
Ummm last I checked combing your daughter’s hair was not child abuse, besides her hair looks so cute
It looks uncomfortable
Not child abuse…. her baby, she can do what she want with her hair….I wouldn’t do it
It do look to tight
IT MAYBE SHE IS TOO YOUNG FOR WEARING FAKE HAIR IN ANY STYLE 12 MAYBE GIVE THEIR NATURAL HAIR A CHANCE TO GROWING BLOW IT OUT IF YOU WANT TO
I had box braids when i was younger and my hair still full , i still got edges , so idk maybe thats other ppls opinion
I think they are cute on this baby head
It’s just like dreading the child’s hairs
That’s some bull… my mom used to put the box braids about that thick too, in my head when I was a kid, and I didn’t feel abused lolxxz… now, those look a little tight from the angle she took them from, but they’re still cute…
They look hella cute
There are a lot of little girls with braids.. Nothing here to talk about..
She looks like s**t. No need for all that weight on a little girls hair
I have had faux lock as an adult and they are heavy, uncomfortable and can damage your hair line. While I think that this mother is definitely misguided, I would not go so far as to call it abuse.
Smh! !! The main one complaining about a protective style in her hair ..probably are the ones beating and punching on their kids(real child abuse ) if you are not taking care this woman child you have no say in what and how she should do her child hair ..
Smfh
They’re pretty!
Kids tend to cry when they get their hair done, I cried like hell when my mom would do my hair …hell I’m 21 and still shed tears lol I’m just extremely tender-headed … Does that mean I should not get my hair done though? I’ve seen worse things on little girls such as makeup (not for pageant use) crop tops (I don’t agree with for kids) big hoop earrings (to damn grown) and heels and other sorts that sexualize a child in my opinion … As far as this hair style I would not do it on my child as I think she’s to young but to go as far and say its abuse I think that was pushing it …think about it people post videos of little girls in diapers sucking on pacifiers twerking they little diaper booties ….but a woman wants to show her work on her child (who looks like a child)….off and we bash her .
I don’t think it’s abuse, I just feel it’s not appropriate at that age. Her hair texture looks like a very fine grade, may cause more harm than good. All that tension can lead to breakage and much more.
Wow people need to get them some mfn business fr and stay out of other peoples business that don’t concern them.
A little much to call it child abuse, but it is ridiculously stupid to put this on a child
Child abuse is a little extreme. But if she did nothing to her hair she would be a bad mother for that.
folks will say anything frfr
No different than extension braids???
I don’t believe in fake hair PERIOD for kids, when they are grown, they can do all that
It’s too tight…she is going to damage her hair follicles…when she’s a bald headed teenager she going to get her mom lol
I wouldn’t say abuse, but it’s certainly not necessary. I don’t understand why these woman feel the need to put this fake shit in their babies hair anyway smh
Why is it necessary to put faux anything in child’s head???
Whoever called it child abuse needs to have several seats!
Ugh those people who live for moments when they can “shame,” someone. Please quit it and learn to mind your business.
It’s not abuse but she’s going to have no hair in the front. Her hair line looks as if it already receding.
Child abuse? I’m so confused!!!!!!!!
I think it looks nice… It might be a little tight… I know looks can be deceiving maybe there not… Good job on doing her hair…
I don’t see it as abuse, I just see it as a lack of knowledge. I don’t know if she did it to make her morning ritual easier, or if her daughter wanted to have the appearance of longer hair & she obliged. It does appear to be tight & you must admit our young ladies are loosing their edges at an alarming rate due tension. Just pray that the baby’s hair stays healthy & stop sounding so catty. #meowsistahs
The baby just doesn’t look happy…sometimes a picture can be worth a thousand words…jmt
Those look extremely painful. Smh
Wow, and the conditioning starts early in a black girls life. Why must we continue to sabotage their self worth/esteem with this mess. Can’t they just be loved for who they are. And yes, even box braids as well. It may not be child abuse by legal standards, however it is very damaging to their hair growth and emotionally.
Abuse??
It looks to tight
It’s cute but it looks like it hurt…
Cute, just entirely too tight.
I don’t think its child abuse I just think parents should pay close attention to how tight you do any hair style on your child’s head. Whether its synthetic, extensions, or natural.
Bad choice for a child’s hairdo but not child abuse.
As long as her hair is combed stop
Not child abuse but it’s pulling that baby hair out its jus a bit too tight
They are nice but not for children. Unfortunately some people are allergic to the hair that is used. Hopefully this child is not allergic to the hair. Mother if you are reading this please spray her hair with an apple cider vinegar and water mixture and this will strip the synthetic hair of the chemicals that are in it. This will help with any itching.
No matter wat type of style it is, this is not a sign of child abuse… People just be wanting stuff to talk about!!! There isn’t even a need to explain wat child abuse is, everyone know exactly wat it is nd means nd Yall know dn well this isn’t it!!! Find something else to talk about!!!
My only issue is how long did this little girl hav to sit to get her hair done
she looks beautiful to me. wheres the abuse, Im confused?
I think her hair looks beautiful
It’s just a hairstyle. It’s not a permanent disfigurement. Geez! We can’t really tell how tight they are or are not by a picture. I’ve seen litlle girl with small ponytails all over their heads who didn’t look any different.
People hate themselves so much and they direct that hate onto anyone or anything. Especially if it’s something beautiful or something they can’t have. People are sick that way.
Really look great
Is it me or am i the only one who doesn’t consider braiding hair weave
How is this child abuse what the heck is wrong with people.
How about you stop leaving children in hot cars? Worry about that child abuse!
She’s a pretty little thing. Her hair is no different than if she had little ponytails or twists. Actually that’s all those are with synthetic hair around them. Most ppl see a beautiful as a little girl with a pretty new hairstyle that she probably loves and think…how cute. Hateful evil people just see an opportunity to spread their hate and evil.
Still don’t know how y’all can tell how tight this baby’s hair is by a picture. No red scalp, no swelling, no crying, no proof her hair is tight.
So I guess little girls getting their ears pierced is child abuse too, smh. I didn’t know getting a little girl’s hair done like this is abuse.
Its beautiful. .
That’s too tight on a child’s head
How is this child abuse?
Get the f**k over it. Its cute and she is 2
She look gorgeous.
It is way too tight. You can see the redness of her scalp in these pics. I am a hairstylist and I refuse to put any kind of extensions in a small child’s hair. It deters hair growth as their follicles aren’t very strong. I also refuse to do relaxers on young children. Is this child abuse? No. But the mom did make a poor judgement on this hairstyle. All of her edges will be gone as well as bumps around her hairline.
Omg are people really that stupid.. every black girl knows that if you want your hair to look extremely awesome.. you put grease in your hair or conditioner.. you know to make it look like not one single hair can escape… so it looks tight.. but it’s not and if you look close enough you’ll see that she has grease on her scalp and hair ( tip: look at her forehead) discussion closed!! Move on!
So is it child abuse when you let your child run around with wild looking hair or when it’s so bad that they are teased at school and the teacher combs their hair?(remember that story). People need to make up their mind and choose a different battle. Keeping your child’s hair groomed is not abuse, people throw that around too much ijs.
Definitely not child abuse. And the parts are big sooo… it could’ve been worse. And no one knows how tight she did them . The could be looser than they look. People be Over Reacting.
They look really cute….a lil tight but cute
that’s stupid why they say it’s child abuse no it’s not they need to be saying it to those mothers that have their children looking like a grown women.
I don’t think this is child abuse but it must be a little painful
Where’s the abuse?? Maybe a little tight but abuse?
Very beautiful…..suit her well….Make it less tight next time
First it was the government,now it’s people on Facebook telling people how to raise their children. What happened to this country?
Shut up all you haters …..she’s a great mom….she’s not dirty and not hungry and has a home…..so shut up
WTF how is it Child Abuse this is cute on her
d hair is beautiful
The child probably asked for them.
That’s way to tight. It’s not abuse
“Child Abuse” is used too loosely and too often, they’re tight but isn’t all black girls / women hair dos start that way so they stay neat and fresh longer, ? People need to mind their own business
Look like it hurt but I wouldn’t say child abuse
They do look very painful and redundant!
Smh
O my God I love it. I want this for my daughter
My son is biracial and I don’t wanna cut his hair, it’s long and curly. I been thinking about braiding it. Some say go for it, some say he’s to young. He’s 19 months, what yall think? Hes not tender headed at all, I comb his hair every morning and sometimes it’s rough but he’s use to it. Doesn’t cry or anything. But now that I’m reading these comments, I don’t wanna braid it and people look at me like I’m abusing my child.
Ridiculous. This is not for children
It’s sad that most of the women commenting actually approve this hair style for a child….sad but not surprising. That’s why we have so many thot walking around.
Don’t do it.
That’s very painful for that poor baby
Some of these people don’t know child abuse if they see it.
How is that child abuse??? Her scalp probably sore for the tightness lol but i see no abuse
Well someone needs to call on alot of people. Like others have said if it is a crime then my mother needs to go to jail and serve her time.
It looks cute neat and tidy….But…it does look tight and if it is then this can’t be comfortable for this little one…Why not trwist the natural hair instead of putting faux locs on the child….
This is exactly why our babies don’t have edges now but if we don’t know better neither will our children
It doesn’t look all that tight and the child isn’t crying..I feel it is no tighter than the lil ponytails girls wear it will loosen in a week anyway…How did she get that child to sit that long…Its child abuse not combing ur child’s hair on a daily basis if u ak me and having to be subjected to stares and taunting by other children…I see girls that hair look like it hasn’t been combed in weeks or that have braids in to long to where they grow into dreads..smh
I feel like 1) they look tight, maybe she could have done them looser for the sake of the child’s scalp 2) they look cute, kind of large for her little head 3) maybe the child wants dreads and this is her way if testing before installing 4) she did a good job
How is this child abuse? I used to get box braids and crochet braids when I was in preschool.
If it was not done standing on top of her head looking a HOT MESS everyone would have something to say but it’s done and they still complain this world is confused SMH.
Leave them babies heads alone smh
Are you serious? These folks actually said that? Lol! Lawd. #getalife #ignorancelives
Not abuse! But obviously look like the child lost a hair line
Some ppl are just ridiculous. I feel ppl on Social media think they run other people lives.
Faux locks hurt
And r heavy. To me any types of extentions is too much for kids
It all depends on the braided half of the people saying faux locs are heavy use way too much hair you don’t have to use all that mess to do faux locs smh.
This isn’t child abuse bulls**t… leave it up too America anything become chikd abuse. How t’f could tht ever be abuse. Howevrr the style is indeed very painful n I wouldn’t suggest installing it on a child.
It’s beautiful but maybe too tight for a child
Why?
People whine over everything
Faux locs are too heavy for a kid that small. She need to experiment on someone else.
This is stupid
I don’t think it’s child abuse, I just think she’s too young to have a hair style like that.
Why it’s just like any other form of braiding
Looks lovely
When she look in the mirror 30 to 40 years from now and see a bald head, this is why. Too tight…..
Its cute but looks really tight though….
If this is abuse, putting a perm in a child’s head should be abuse too.
Less she taking care of her children so I ain’t mad at her
Not for children .. Entirely toooooo heavy and tight . A complete no and bad judgement ..
If you have had faux locs then you know how difficult it is the 1st week .. Too all those that see nothing wrong .. You haven’t experienced it ., they are not regular braids
What difference does it make whether it’s faux locks, kinky twists or box braids? Kmt please there’s worst things surrounding children that don’t even get picked up on
Well I like them
Like a coment that was said u can do faux locks in a way it won’t be so heavy…when u install box braids it’s tight or sengalese twist….as a hairbraider and mother u have to keep in my children can’t handle styles like grown-up…ruberbands hurt these kids hair and can pull there hair if done too tight….I don’t knock it as long as it’s comfortable for the child…..Make sure its not painful…..it’s a break from coming hair….But u don’t wanna break there hair out
She’ll be “EDGELESS EARLY”, it’s pulling the edge out.
Really? This mother is being criticized for making sure her child’s hair is done? Just say you don’t like how her mother did her hair, this is not child abuse.
That looks painful.
These are not real. I need these. LOL
I saw a 3yr old with a bonded in bob..now that child abuse..that baby edges don’t stand a chance…
Smf abuse is when the child’s hair does NOT get comb…..
That’s not abuse she’s just getting her hair combed and the style is not bad people so silly
No it’s nooo big deal at all. People always giving more grief than need be, but they can give their kids horrible poisoned foods and allow the TV to raise kids or etc as they do, but it’s just braids so they need to cool and s*****ttttt down somewhere
U can see her scalp is on fire.let the child be a child dam.it….
Everyone has opinion she looks adorable children wear braids ponytails with added hair some put weave in
Well dam,y’all need to stop,that’s this lady dam child….stupid ass people
If this is abuse then i was abused as a kid with all those damn beads in my hair.
So what do you call it when a mother don’t comb their childs hair.
Her hair is pretty. What’s the problem?
Ppl without a life and have nothing better to do. So sad
Exactly
I think it’s what you’re used to seeing and doing. Here in the UK we use extentions in both adults and children (girls) hair. We’re predominantly caribbean and African and it’s was we do. It may look tight but chances are it is not. Her hair looks soft so the braid appears to be strangling her hair (if that make sense). Plus faux locs are 1 of the lightest extention you can have installed. These extentions aren’t too long either. When extentions tend to look like this when newly put in.
That’s ridiculous.
I’m sorry but the child does not look in pain, in fact there is hardly an expression on her face. This style is not for my child but I don’t look down on it #confused
Lol they do look tight tho.
If anyone wants to. Punish any one, punish the parents that teach they kids on how to be racist. ….
Looks Tight AF
They are really cute
They look SUPER tight/heavy, and the child doesn’t appear to be pleased with them.
That said, to term the attempt itself child abuse is… *side eye* I grew up on box braids and turned out fine.
People need to stop it. It’s hair.
These can come out.Looks neat to me.Doesn’t look like she’s starving or anything.There’s real abuse happening to kids,concentrate on that.
Too much hair and too heavy for her fine grade of hair
People are so crazy i see little girls all weaved up. What the problem???
Child abuse? We should worry about those mothers out there who are not taking the time to even do their child’s hair. So many neglected kids out there and they’re worried about faux locs. Much more to worry about.
So what is your child
How the hell is this child abuse?
Too heavy and tight for little head. Let ur baby grow older to get extension done or keep it natural. Her own choice.
It doesnt matter if its single braids cornrows plaits or dreads ,all of them are tight at first. They loosen up nd then hes fine ,its not gon kill or harm him nd its easier to maintain in the long run.
This child will be dependent on fake hair the rest of her life .Because she will have bald spots all over her head and no edges .Let little girls learn to love themselves the way they are,
Not child Abuse but I know for a fact they can be painful. Poor baby.
What’s the difference between this and giving a young girl box braids?! SMH
Faux Locs are too heavy for children. Period. I’ve done them, I wear them… They are TOO HEAVY. PERIOD. IF YOU’VE EVER HAD THEM, YOU SHOULD KNOW. That’s too much hair for those tiny heads. They should wear their own hair until they learn to love it and have grown a mature head of hair! Don’t we know enough unnecessarily bald women and children??? Come on…sheesh! Do THEIR hair already! Enough is enough smh
Some little cornrows? Ok. Maybe some little box braids as a protective style? I can dig it. Faux Locs? No. Grow them some real Locs or not at all. That’s what I think anyway… #blackhairrocks
Where I’m from its customary for children to have faux locs in, I definitely don’t know how this becomes an abuse. Smh, I think it’s what persons are accustom to, because it’s out of the ordinary they think of it as abuse
She beautiful. That’s the world’s problem stop worrying about everybody else clean up around your own front door.
This world is crazy
What???
These people need to take several seats
U can see her scalp is pinched, red and already has the bumps. People who ehobhave never done or had this need not comment. That s**t is to heavy and too tight. I wasn’t even mad until I saw the comments. Now im disappointed at this s**t and mad at some of y’all stupidity
Smh the nerve of some ppl stupessssss
Personally I think there is nothing wrong with this. I think extension is 20times better than parent who RELAX their kids hair.
Please stop dressing and putting all that heavy set of locs in that beautiful very little girl head,please let very little girls, let them be very little girls.
#Beautiful…
Her hair is beautiful! Leave this woman and her baby alone! At least she does her daughter’s hair unlike Beyonce that don’t bother with her daughter’s hair! Smh ppl just always has something to say bout everything!
They are pretty tight I had some before
I wouldn’t call that abuse… It may be a little excessive but this isn’t much different from other styles, I.e braids, twist, yarn…
Looks nice to me
But why?
That’s not child abuse. Children get braided extensions all the time. Good grief
How in the hell is that child abuse ????
What’s wrong with it? Looks good to me. People just too damn judgmental
Not child abuse. This child is being groomed.
That hairstyle looks a hot mess
It’s her child her hair looks beautiful mfs didn’t say child abuse back when them pressing combs was sending chills down little girls spines people really need to find something better yo do with their time instead of worrying about a child’s hair that’s done! And looks nice if her hair wasn’t done then someone would say child neglect #beatit shut up
That’s not abuse,you need to get a damn life
I’m a professional Braider/Stylist at #Stella’ Professional African Hair Braiding# and will not do this on a child this young. I’m not even sure the mom used the right extension for her. Kids’s hair should be lighter in weight and easy to wear and these extensions looks heavy. Poor kid!
It’s not like she’s an infant or any I. She looks like she’s under 5.
What is the difference between this and box braids, twists, or even cornrows!?!? People are getting ridiculous. It’s even lil kids with dreads…..is that abuse too? So now we can’t even do our kids hair without worrying about somebody calling dcf, just ridiculous
You people criticise everything, no matter if it’s a child or the elderly. But I say get you some damn business.
The little girl is so cute. It’s not really abuse to do this to a child, but it can shape the future of their hair health. Their hair and scalp are still relatively fragile until they are older and start having hormoonal changes that herald the onset of their teenage years. Braids or cornrows, not done overly tight, are fine for the little ones; most of the added hair is overly heavy on an adult head, it is no different on a child’s head. Let them be kids, until they become teens.
What’s the difference between faux locs and box braids or any other type of extension? People are assuming that the locs are very tight on her head. Social Media and anonymity is getting out f hand. Child abuse is a strong accusation.
I work in the medical field as an ct technologist and I have performed ct scans on little girls whose hair was braided with extensions so tight that they suffered with headaches and their scalps were so swollen. Little girls don’t need extensions and grown up hairstyles they are beautiful with their natural hair. I wouldn’t call this child abuse but the little girl looks like she is in a lot of pain.
On another episode of people do way to much. I have a mother who didnt know how to do hair so my options were to always get my hair done by the africans. no one knows this womans situation maybe she cant do hair and wanted a style for her daughter that will last. If this is child abuse then mothers who perm their daughters hair under the age of 18 should also be treated the same because is actually burning ur childs scalp. To the mother dont do tight hair styles and post it on fb cause people basic
I wouldn’t call it abuse but I wouldn’t put fake hair in a little girls hair. Let her hair breathe and grow and, I didn’t wear weave until i was 19. Those locs can be very heavy and pull on her scalp.
To me it looks like its 2 tight in the front. It could also be the fact that the kid has a RiRi 5 head. I’m totally against giving kids fake hair. She coulda gave her some cute braids. Made with her own hair
THAT IS NOT CHILD ABUSE THEY NEED TO STOP THAT!
