9month old baby gets a relaxer, Are you serious!?!

Public service announcement: Don't relax your babies hair.

I'm visiting with my sister and I meet a little girl who is three years old and has been getting reaxers since she was 9 months old. In the video you see the severe damage. Relaxers alone may not have caused all the damage but they caused most of it for sure.

That's so sad. I remember as a teen seeing a little girl with short natural hair because of health issues. Her mom put earrings and other accessories. She was gorgeous. I used to call her nubian princess. I know that may her feel good cause some adults used to tease her for having short hair. Mind you they had piles of weave, wonder what they were hidding?

I would be in someone's jail if a person took it upon their self to perm my child's hair!! My daughters are 5 and 2, and the 2 year old has the hair from the devil but I will not put a perm in her hair because its tightly curled and dry. I've been fully natural for 6 months now after transititiong for 11 months and ain't no way in hell I'll let someone or myself do this to my girls hair just because I don't like fooling with. All three of us have a head full of natural hair and different texture

That is truly sad it reminds me a tyra banks show where there was young children on there talking about getting relaxers and not feeling pretty unless they have relaxers sad we gotta do better teach our kids that it's okay to be natural (it might not be right for all but at least wait until menastruation )

aaawww...poor little girl...shes so cute

Has this woman never heard of "conditioner"? If her baby's hair is so dry,it needs a moisturizing deep conditioner. You should never even put relaxer into a girl's hair before she has had three cycles,because you don't know how her hair will change with the hormone surge of puberty. To apply relaxer to an infant scalp is simple child abuse. You have possibly damaged her scalp permanently and also impacted her eyesight and hearing into the bargain. Shame on that foolish babysitter!!!

I would be so pissed off if someone did that to my childs hair. What in the world was that women thinking...............

@MzDija7480 Ma'am when you said "hair from the devil" I laughed for 5 mins straight. Reminds me of my friends grandma down south. Anyway I agree. I'd never perm my baby's hair no matter how much time it takes to do it.

Thats just horrific :(

i personally would not have put a perm in my childs hair at nine months my baby is 5 and i still wouldn't put one in her hair. I to have had perms put in my hair at a young age i recently stop 3 yrs ago and learned how to wash my hair with a good mosturizer and flat iron it once every 2 weeks when i want it straight. I have nothing against people who use perms, i just feel a big diffrence with my hair without the perm
