crackhaus: What do you want me to say na? My girls already know that fashion is pain. They also know they can have their hair shaved anytime they like, it's up to them. I was on low cut up untill my university days. Even now I still cut my hair from time to time. It's my choice and decision, so I let them decide too. That being said, that snake-like weave they are putting on that little girl in the pix above is just pure torture. Eww! 2 Likes |

1Sharon: 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 mean nothing. 5 Likes 1 Share |

fieryy: Braided edges always end up falling off. Edges do not need to be braided, from the weight and pressure on it. They are usually fine baby hairs |

1Sharon: 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 15 Likes |

I totally agree with the post. This should go to some schools in Lagos. I know of some schools in Lagos that actually dictates hairstyles for students every freaking week....kilode!!! Every week new style, na that go make them get distinction? Its too much, such practice that have been in place since the 80s should have been stopped, but governments are focused on more mundane things 8 Likes 1 Share |

fieryy: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? 9 Likes |

computergeek: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 3 Likes |

So I remember when i was quite young. Mum asked me to go make my hair with her friend because we had an occasion the next day. When I came back, she noticed my forehead was illuminating. I was obviously in pain. She asked me to sit and slowly loosened everything. The next morning, she used gel to style it her way and off we went. If I'm too busy to make my daughters hair, I give the hairdresser specific instructions. I don't want it to hurt her, even if it gets rough sooner than later, I actually wouldn't mind. Don't just hurt the little girl.! 3 Likes |

No daughter of mine will go through such pain all in the name of hair making.. Will braid it myself since I'm a stylist myself Honestly speaking, even as old as I am, I still feel pains when braiding my hair not to talk of little angels. Mothers should let the cute bunnies grow up and decide what they really want to do with their hair. 10 Likes |

Just do what works for you. What is torture for one person is simply an inconvenience for others. We all have different pain tolerance levels. It's up to the parent to make the judgment call. 8 Likes |

How do fathers permit this? When we were growing up, my dad would personally insist on the hairdresser coming to our place to braid so he could sternly warn her to go easy on our heads. When he saw that we still cried regardless, he had them cut off all our hair grin. We hated it then, but at least the gut-wrenching crying stopped.What concerns fathers in this matter, were they females in their past lives? Females are physically weak. When I grew hair I made sure to tell the hairdresser to tighten those braids so I could feel what women always complain about. Alas she did to the best of her ability and I never experienced headaches and pains of any sort. You want to experience pain? Let your mother comb your kinky hair as a six year old. That is one pain I’m surprised never happens as a grown man. Wait, it does sometimes but is bearable. Another thing I’m sure men can do better is pregnancy. Females make a lot of noise about it. I’m sure if science finds a way for men to carry the child they’ll do it so good women will go green with envy as usual. 1 Like |

Depends on the style, any style that touches the edges is a NOO! Sadly, that is the type they always make these kids. Very mature hair styles! Gosh! I hate it ehn. Anyway, I get doitforyou's argument. A Nigerian mother has a very tight schedule, you don't wanna add daily styling from an uncooperative kid to it. When I have my baby girl (who would definitely look like me) - I will be making her that fulani hairstyle. The one that starts from the center and falls round the head. E no go pass 10, we would count it 15 Likes |

fieryy: I’m not a 4a or 4c . I do know quit a lot of 4s around me and I see the constant struggle they had to go through in other to put their maine together . Just because you are able to “fix” yours in 5 min(you’re most likely an adult) doesn’t mean a working mother with kids will want to constantly manipulate her kiddos hair everyday . She can decide to let her kids wear Cornrows just to save time . 10 Likes |
