“Child Abuse” – Mother Gets Chastised On Social Media For Installing Faux Locs On Her Child

Child with faux locsJust 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’.

faux locs child

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.

      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,

      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.

      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.

      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

      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.

      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.

      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

      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.

      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!

    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 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.

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.

    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.

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.

    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 .

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

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.

    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?!

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 .

It does appear to be tight & you must admit our young ladies are loosing their edges at an alarming rate due tension.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

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.
