Do you think it is wise to get braids for the very young girls? I saw some little girls yesterday, they looked about 5, and already had artificial hair. I thought their mother was sending the message to them at such a young age that their natural hair was not good enough. I think braids should be something black women choose when they are older, not grow up with as normal. I tried out braids once, but my hair all ripped out (the girl who braided it said my hair was too thin for those styles) and the process was painful and the fake hair was heavy and hard to wash. I think maybe little girls would not want them anyway. Why is it considered bad for black women and girls to wear their hair naturally? What do you think?
