Yes !

One size fits all? What if the hair is short? pressed at the side she slept on? Just tie it everyday? okay

Really? Your child has to go through pain because you did.

BlackPantherCri:


Aunty. Schools in naija pick weaving hair styles for kids. Pack bun to school and they will speak grammar for you. We all went thru d pain, we survive am. It's generational abeg. They will get over it

Ryan03:
that Lady is not normal

Lol. I no join you talk that one oh

I find it really annoying reading threads like these where people carry their amebo into other people's lives or try to tell them what to do without being asked. Who died and made you judge? Nosy parkers.

computergeek:
I didn't know you can't read. If you had read my post completely you wouldn't have made this comment. Na why your mates dey hustle you dey here dey talk about girls' hair on NL. Because you can't read a short post completely. Shame.

its a craft I learnt hence I know what I am talking about not like you wannerbe perfect mum when you never even get belle have yours and do with her hair what you wish. You've made your point, move on na, no you won't. You want to force every woman to copy you and when dey refuse, you and your companions accuse them of trying to kill their kids. Have you been the ones taking care of the kids? BUSY BODY CREW

Sterope:
It doesn't have to be those particular hairstyles. They can even cut the hair of it comes to that.

Cold does not make hair softer, if at all, it makes it drier.

not cold.thier weather is cool and fresh compared to African weather.

midnighter:
There's nothing wrong with braiding a child's hair, as long as care is taken not to make it too tight.

It can be uncomfortable but not necessarily painful. Or it may be mildly painful for a couple of days. Experiencing pain is not going to kill the child.

Everybody experiences pain, especially en route to achieving something meaningful. You can't shield children from pain forever just to prove a point. This is unrealistic. Children should be taught resilience and not shielded and coddled all the time. The end result is comfort enough for the pain endured.

Putting somebody's hair in a bun every day for school is not feasible; little children mess their hair up a lot and natural hair can get tangled if a comb is not run through it often enough. Then when you want to comb it it will still be war.

I think a reasonable cornrow style with or without attachments is okay for a schoolgirl.

And it will also teach them from an early age about neatness.

The bun is okay as well once in a while but people who braid their kids hair shouldn't be condemned.

Yup yup yup ! I totally agree with you

jakandeola:
dis is woman topic so be guided.say ur mind and get lost instead of insulting pple

ah! You, I remember trashing your ass the last time. Dont let me start

jakandeola:
hahaha I think u are wrong u cant compare our weather to oyibo own. did u know d sun most times melt our hair? cold weather can Neva damage d air thier weather is not even cold but fresh.so u are saying most Africans dont eat well or not.are all oyibo rich yet dey got long hair.both black and white.have u seen any black person abroad witout long hair.forget style.na only oyibo sabi maintain hair.?

You are not serious my friend. Cold weather makes hair dry and brittle. It's why you see so many of them in braids, knots, twists, anything to retain the moisture during the winter months.

If you don't know that a vast number of our population cannot afford a decent diet, then this conversation is officially over.

Well, the cool and fresh weather does not make hair soft. Hair is soft when it is well mositurised.

jakandeola:

sassysure:

Oyibo weather makes hair soft?
When I thought I have seen it all

is it funny. thier weather does it not make people look fair?if Beyonce or cardi b come without opening mouth u will know dry are Americans cos dey are fair.if it affect skin wont it affect hair.pink lips most guys die to have most black pple abroad have it.

Surrey2Bimshire:

The pain is very unnecessary.

poco, you think that one is "painless" abi? Obviously not

It isn't? Looks easier and not painful. Abeg, which hair I go make for New Year na? Give me hairstyle biko.

jakandeola:

You are ignorant just move to the side

Nope, it's totally necessary. Pain is as much a part of life as pleasure.

If you couldn't experience sadness you wouldn't know what happiness was. If everything was easy and painless to obtain, you wouldn't value it.

After seeing and sitting through the process of styling and making that hair, the child will learn to appreciate the importance of being patient for a good result as they grow older.

And they will know what styles and techniques they prefer. It's part of building their self-image.

The solution to a problem is not necessarily avoiding it altogether but finding a way to muddle through.

fieryy:


All textures can sustain a daily maintenance of a bun. I used mine as an example, but all you had to say was 'That's your hair'. Buns are one of the easiest low maintenance hair styles, especially for natural hair

this is a lie

Even me that has soft hair, after two days, I get tired of combing and styling, how much more someone with tough hair?

There are too many things that go into combing and styling hair and keeping it HEALTHY for you to state that people shouldn't go through the process of braiding their hair. In the long run, the braiding hair will be more economical and easier to maintain, than styling everyday.

Me wey dem chook my head inside yansh, I no die, my pikin no go die if she siddon braid hair for two hours. It is the sacrifice we must make for black hair

sassysure:

Nigerian women will never stop that.
Over their dead body

Jeez, it is not a Nigerian thing, why don't people understand individual choices and way of life? Is it only Nigerian mums that braid their kids hair

Biglittlelois:



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

is it by shawarma or dose rubbish food oyibo eat DAT dey try to make us eat. d best food to eat is vegetable and most Africa eat DAT.meat nko? did white pple even have yam or food like fufu.dont think all Africans are suffering. if u notice most IBO girls got long hair too because of dey eat lot of vegetables. so u cant say our hair is bad because we cant afford diet and good food.

if you want some thing light, just fix weave or do big braid. No much stress

The plaiting is better Biko but it shouldn't be too tight

Educate myself on Afros instead of just Brazilian wigs lol what an assumption.
Lol I’m 5’6 ft tall , 3A and 3c my shrinkage is 18-21 front to back, 24-28 inches when straighten or blow dried . I constantly chop off two to four inches yearly as I do not want it to grow beyond a certain length due to my day to day activities and yes I tend to wear weaves or wigs sometimes especially when I’m too lazy to maintain my curls lol
You see, some of us I’ve been natural all our lives and we don’t go around acting like we know it all. it’s a way of life for and it’s ought to be normal .
So it’s safe to say you’re one of those natural hair fanatic that assume just because they’ve discovered a tiny little coiled popped up on their scalp they can easily tell other people off.

I’ve been natural all my life lol


You state it’s takes you 5 min to get your hair together etc and I basically told you I know a lot of 4s around me that struggle to get their hair out together daily ..

By the way I’ve got 4s in my family too .

see smack down

Pls use your common sense, you can fluff it out with your fingers

And if it's short, just leave it:

Ryan03:
ah! You, I remember trashing your ass the last time. Dont let me start

me and u no dey d same category so pls dey ur lane and respect urself here.I dont remember u anyway.

The pain of waking up for school or work every morning is necessary. Plaiting of hair? NO!

The child can decide what to do with the hair when she grows up including choosing a painless way of dealing with her hair

Surrey2Bimshire:


What type of hair product do you use for your 4c hair ?

I will post pictures of some of my normal orders online. This is different from the ones I go personally to buy in the shops o. I'm to lazy to go to where those ones are. These I screen shot from my Amazon orders

Ryan03:
lemme ask you, did the mother of this child just comb and park this child's hair till it got to this length? And that hair base looks treated

No the mothers simply loved it.

Is this treated too?
