I don't see how anyone would think this is unusual.This isn't any different than seeing little girls with multicolor beads and ribbons in their hair. I'm a black woman but when I was a child I had waist length hair. I saw other girls with shorter hair wearing the colorful beads and bows on their braids. I begged my mother for them but she told me my hair was way too long and it would take too much time to create those styles. It wasn't ghetto. These are just children. I think it's gorgeous.

@gabbymtt Thanks!

Update on this....my daughter just turned 8 today, and we just finished up with pink yarn twisted into her loc twists!! She has had a couple other yarn fall ponytails recently too. Hasn't tired of them yet!!! When she says done, we will be done. sigh...but till then, we go for it. She has locs now so we don't do crazy stuff with her hair as much as we used to.

My 3yr old just finished watching G swing her ponytail and wants one now. I need to check out pt.1 so I can make her one to wear around the house. I have 2 girls coming from Ethiopia and I am always looking for creative ideas so I can be prepared. Thanks for the video and congrats on your beautiful daughetr.

LOL I know all this stuff is addicting for them :)

So are you saying ,fro what you said earlier, that any colorful in the hair is made fun of> does that include just colorful beads in the hair, on little kids??? gosh THAT is sad. yeah at least let them have fun in the house. You couldn't even go to the park with a fun colorful do? G loves rainbows. this was her choice. I have seen kids staring at the store and whatnot, but i think they are envious, telling their moms they want one.

you need to rename this. thats a ponytail holder...granted a fancy one, but its a ponytail holder just the same. I would have used one color to match a particular outfit but thats just me. that way, you can have more fun matching this outfit with that hair thingy and that pair of shoes with this hair thingy etc. but im quirky that way, i have a gele that matches every boot i own, the fun was in finding the fabrics. if i used a mulicolored one....i would only need 5 geles. haha

well i think you are doing a great job with you daughters hair! I am biracial would have never of thought of this. Its great however some people will be rude even when it is regarding a very innocent little girl who may not look like the majority of the population in your community....keep up the good work. And keep putting up videos so i can steal ur ideas,,:)

WTF?????!!!!!??????

[CraftLulz]

why do you have a nigger child?

[lordblazer]

Make sure that you keep her scalp greased with hair oil. Dandruff builds up on the scalp if you don't keep it moist!!! But yea having a black child you will have to deal with the realities that many black parents deal with except you won't know exactly what it is until it hits you. It'll start in elementary. Just be sure to guide her and keep her self esteem high!!! But yea her hairstyle is really normal for a little girl your daughter is very cute. All the best :D

I understand your point SGmom2!!!

But I DO like the hairstyle and the technique!! VERY VERY interesting!!!

I MUST subscribe for more hair styling updates as a matter of fact! :-D

I probably would never opt for the rainbow colored braids....but that's just a matter of preference! ;-)

Note: the different colored beads looked GREAT though....!!! Keep up the great work in caring for your child's hair!!
