right on Jane! Too bad not everybody has strong parents to drill in that positivity, as we all know peer pressure can be a britch.
But what you have said is the truth!

I am a woman with relaxed hair. My 15 month old daughter has natural hair and my plan is for her to continue to keep her hair naturally curly. I am doing tons of research on products that will work best in her hair so that hair her will not only look healthy but Be healthy.

My mother relaxed my hair. I don’t agree that she should have been prosecuted criminally for that because I love my mother and I know she did the best she could with what she knew and had. To judge people on the choices they make because you wouldn’t make them or because you know better, doesn’t make you any “better”. I am my mother’s daughter but I’m making a decision that I feel is in the best interest of my child just like she did for me and I am not mad at her for it. She didn’t tell me something was wrong with my hair. I think she simply didn’t know how else to deal with my hair with the time constraints and resources that she had. I am happy to see that there is so much information available to us today through the internet especially that my mother could never experience.

To JLarae and laurbabes, I don’t think a mother should perm their daughters hair to make them happy. The people who makes a child feel inadequate about themselves are ignorant, close-minded adult and children who don’t know any better. Why should black girls feel inadequate with their natural, God-given hair? Do we say that white people are people with natural straight hair should get it permed to look curly because straight hair makes them feel inadequate? Also, perming a child’s hair never made any child feel self-confident, it’s about the love and attention they get at home first and foremost. If you give a child love, affection, reassurance, affirmation and self-confidence in themselves at home, they’ll carry that out into the world so giving them a perm has nothing to do with it. Learn what works best with your child’s natural hair and then they’ll have confidence in themselves because they know that mommy took time to find out what worked for them and not just gave in and got them a perm, one that they didn’t need in the first place.

I think putting toxic chemicals on a child’s hair is criminal and should be prosecuted as child abuse. Some of these kids are toddlers, and as the mother of a toddler, I can’t imagine putting Drano (and yes, relaxers and Drano have the same chemical component) on my child’s head. I can barely get my son to sit still for a haircut, the idea of trying to relax a toddler’s hair is insane. They jump, they move, they run. They’re in perpetual motion. What happens if you get this godawful chemical in their eyes? Are we really this insane?

JLarae, you are a total nutjob. Your knowledge of adolescent psych is absolutely nonexistent and I’m stating that as an expert in the field.
