Who is talking about hard? We are talking about the process, making buns is stressful for natural kids hair, the process of combing tough hair, to tie the hair into two buns will also be a lot of pain for the kid, talk more of doing it everyday, so what is the difference with braids? Or dont you see how tight the edges is? Won't the child feel discomfort and pains at first? What has braiding got to do with having a chance in life

Didn't you say the other girls hair was soft?

Now I posted "hard" hair for you.

You don't need to comb anything, just tie it. It's my go to style.

Braiding is fine, just without extensions, that's all and no pulling

jakandeola:
d girls are beautiful but I think u are wrong. dose girls are not Africans I think dey are Americans. oyibo weather make thier hair to be very soft weda black or white cos of thier cold.most naija and African girl got short hairs

You are ignorant just move to the side

Ryan03:
there's difference between styling and braiding

Both should never hurt.

Biglittlelois:
First off, those kids hair looks soft, really soft, not all kids have that, hard stubborn hair needs to be braided cos it will be not be convenient to always do those styles everyday even for the child, and this is Nigeria, some schools won't allow such styles, either you cut it off or you braid it.

Is this hair hard enough for you?

I don't know about the braiding but Nigerians should stop putting attachments in their daughter hair before they even have a chance in life

Biglittlelois:
I have to ask, are you Nigerian? For you to think all kids hair will look like that, especially pure African, cos the picture used looks like a child of mixed parents

How about this?

And yes, your kids hair can be as long as theirs too if only you would love it.

fieryy:
I get this every single time after a 'Is this all your hair'. I'm not doing anything special, I just know what to do

So true we are just more informed

EMMNIG:
I totally disagree with your u, plaiting of hair at tender age is good for a girl child, because it prepares the child for the challenges that is attached to the future especially pains during labour. In my culture it is assume that a female who cannot bear the pains of plaiting can't as well bear the pain of labour. Thanks

Hahaaa..what a joker

I don't even want to ask what culture you're from

ireneidiva:
Without combing?

Yes !

tot:
I have medium length healthy natural hair which I am happy with. My point is let people do what works for them. We are not in a nanny state.

Pulling hair does not work

fieryy:
And when you try to teach them, they give you excuses to why your hair is different

This is so true. I've been accused of being mixed race,

Some says it's the climate im from. Excuses

Ladycewhy:
If you have to do it every morning for a child before school,its alot of stress.

All you have to do is tie it

tot:
How is it your business what others do with their hair? Ever nosy Nigerians.

Is it your alopecia? ITK

Lol when you see ppl with long hair now you get envious

You need to love ur hair dear

tot:
It's not for you to tell others what pain they should go through or what age that should be. That's a personal choice. It's the parents' judgment call.

See them. I'm sure you and your child have alopecia. Nigerian women want long hair but don't even know how to achieve it

Ladycewhy:
i disagree. Not all textures are substianable for daily bun maintenance. The stress of having to style everyday and make it into a bun is more compared to just making it into braids once in a week.So why not braid it once a week insead of going through the trouble every single day to style it?

So you don't have to do alot for these styles:

eyinjuege:
Yes, I am speaking for myself, as you have spoken for yourself.
I don't have chemically treated 4C hair, and neither do my kids.
So combing it is always a challenge no matter the amount of conditioner you put before washing, after washing- during steaming (not heated steaming but just put shower cap with your treatment over 30minutes) and even during styling. Its always painful, perhaps a bit exaggerated in some children because just touching the hair with your fingers, without even trying to braid it will make them start shouting. This isn't just my experience, butvalso for many mothers with female children.
Comparing shaving a boy's hair to plaiting a girl's hair is a wrong comparison btw OP. You don't pull the scalp while shaving

You're supposed to use hair moisturizer and leave in conditioner

Yorubaaa

eyinjuege:
Styling hair can hurt children, unless you are not going to comb it. No matter how much you moisturise the hair to soften it, it will hurt unless it's chemically treated hair.
Don't forget children are not adults, and the pain you can bear combing your thick 4c hair will not be borne by the child.
Perhaps from the age of 13 years when they know about no pain, no gain and the struggles associated with beauty before the pain of braiding or combing hair will men nothing.

They might feel some discomfort yes, but they should never feel pain.

Speak for yourself, I feel no pain when combing my hair. Pain shows you're doing something wrong.

PeacenLove2:
Some hair textures na die o. No comb fit run through them. If you like put all the grease inside jar. Seriously speaking some people have very soft scalp that cannot be put to the torture of daily styling. The best option is weave or braid to last a week or two cos even with low cut, running combs through them every day is still a menace, unless you want to he visiting barber weekly to make it very low.

Just make sure you find a good hairdresser who is used to making children's hair. Some hands have that magical touch, just do well to remind them to be easy on your LO.

This is why you should never comb your hair when it's dry. Grease is not a moisturizer.

Learn how to care for afro hair pls.

doitforyou:
I agree, but this isn’t true for all hair textures. For some hair textures it’s better the kid goes through the ‘pain’ once a week than a daily torture of styling.

Styling hair should never hurt. You are wrong.

OP thank you! Braiding hair should NEVER hurt that why alot of Nigerian women have alopecia.

Getting your hair done should never hurt. Nigerians really don't understand.

mrchineke:
Ajao Estate is in Chicago abi?

Leave england and go home nah

Her body

OP leave naira marley alone. You are just jealous.

May God cleanse your heart.

mrchineke:
Mumu, get lost! Olosi talking about western visitors.

Die where you are (2nd class useless citizen)

Many of your mates here in Nigeria have gone farther in life than you mere economic refugees living hand to mouth in Europe. You will soon get old and perish there like an unknown little ant. Keep bragging about your mumu Europe.
Like say dem recognise your dirty black behind. Nigga

What's stopping you from going to live in that nigerian paradise?

sammhi:
The man is just greedy ..that Morrocan is ten times finer than Regina and has lovely kids for him . The kids looks like him so much

Nigerian men in general are greedy. Polygamy changes nothing

midnighter:
I'm waiting for the NL police to descend on you and tell you that she's not oyibo, she is Arab/Amazigh

Lol it's a misconception that those ppl in north Africa are arabs..they only speak the language.


Yes but some are arabs

urahara:
Islam never spread to the north through the fulanis. The Usman Danfodio fulani jihad wasn't to spread Islam. It was to purify it.Islam has been in the north since as far back as 600 a.d.

Purify it? What do you mean

Do you know how islam got to the north?

urahara:
But Fulani herdsmen aren't even Muslims na.looool.

They still hold on to their traditional beliefs.

And this is funny cos islam spread to the north through Fulani


Hmm..I need to research more

KBdownloads:
So for your mind you have said something sensible right? Who gives birth to children hoping they'll become househelps? Instead of you to condemn the act you are busy displaying your lack of common sense

Why do they send their kids to do househelp?

darlenese:
when old age hits them , they wrinkle more than fat peeps

Lies

Korllami007:
Will you be home every time to monitor a maid?

You don't need to be home to monitor anything. Just ask the maid questions

Look at the way she dresses

Look out for any new injuries

Look at her grooming and health

Riele:
I find his musics cringe-worthy .

I advice he gets a new brain .

His music is vulgar, I wouldn't say cringeworthy
