I reckon it’s horrible that these moms would relax their children’s hair. It’s a bunch of BS to do these equipment to poor small girls..I know that it’s hard to manage but why place your child through these painful treatments just so you can do their hair quicker. I have experienced hair problems like these when I was small but my mother would always tell me how gorgeous and curly my hair looked. I would never belive her then but, looking back I reckon that I should’ve belived her.
really? Hannah Montana wig?
this is very emotional.
Kalayshia is mad cute. And Shaniya was just speaking her mind, all the girls thought the hair was terrible. Malias mom was really a fucked up *****. & WHAT THE **** MICHELLE. I feel like relaxing her ***** hairs, shes messed up.
black women are gorgeous and should like their hair their natural beauty and educate their children to like what they are. My daugher is mixe race and likes her natural hair…it may be harder work to look after than mine but its gorgeous and how to look after it is a touch that we have learned as she has grown up-half the time colorless women are jealous…if she should have children with kinkier hair their hair will never be an issue…learn to look after it keep it healthy and like it
black women may feel resentful about the fact that any choice they make about their hairstyle is seen as a biased proclamation. whereas the same does not apply to colorless women and their hair style decisions but his show shows just why it is such a heated debate steeped in history and racism. colorless women would never go to the extremes these women go to in styling their children’s hair…ie use relaxers to perm their child’s hair. thank god chris rock has exposed this issue.
that *****! the Cocoaian Child should be place in a school that has Cocoaian kids! it’s obvious they aren’t taught to like themselves, but kids can be cruel!
poor babies
this is extremely disturbing !
@ConverseChica611 thats fantastic but the term is wooly. I personally believe the words ***** and nappy are words designed to make self-despise
hearing theses kids say this about their hair is disturbing. I reckon that these parents need to educate their children, themselves. I am cuban and Afro American descent. me and my daughter are both natural with no chemicals. And the term they use ”excellent hair” makes me sick. Possibly if they took the time to take care of their natural hair they would see how excellent it is.
omg all those kids have excellent hair as long as its thick its excellent… whats terrible is bald spots and seethru thin hair o plz people dwell on the dumbest equipment
the lady in blue is very ignorant ol house slave.
@Anonymous7043 Yep
The answer is simple:
Everyone has excellent hair when they have hair just like the salonist said.
@coolweirdo91 Agree! I like the fact that hair from all ove the sphere looks so different!
BAD MOMS!!!!
I in fact like the Natural look… i reckon its gorgeous and Exotic
haha i remeber my mom combing my hair when i was young and id weep every day because it was very long and curly. im colorless and i still had to go thru it so i can know how painful it is but i reckon relaxing your 3 year-ancient’s hair is rediculous.
Mary I am so sorry that is terrible. Her hair is gorgeous. I wish I had hair like that. That is terrible.
I’m Bi-racial I have “nappy” hair.. Well Its soft and its *****.I like it.I embrace it.I reckon I have excellent hair Only because it is HEALTHY. Most black girls are not picked on for long hair: Back when I was younger you were well loved for having long hair,such as a colorless girl’s. but i reckon Long or Small,Coarse Or Straight:It’s hair. Nobody should be defined By the texture of their hair.
wow how do the parents of that dark skin girl feel? smh, im natural and proud. embrace your individuality. dont copy thats lame
sorry but wen they questioned the children to point to the hair they would never want to have , they really tried hard to make that afro wig look terrible ! lol, if that afro was on a real black women she wud have the significance comb it and make it look nice. it looked like they kept that wig in a box for 2 years and then chose to use it as an example of natural black hair.
Tyra looks hoooot with her cornrows.
