I have never seen this before..

[janaq2003]

At the playground today, I saw 2 elementary school girls with waist-length lace front wigs. he The "hair" looked like cheap doll hair. I couldn't believe my eyes! Why on earth would a parent do something like this. It made me heated.

 

[AlliCat]

Wow. Are you sure they were lace fronts??

 

[janaq2003]

They were lacefronts! My sister was laughing so hard at me because I just couldn't wrap my mind around it. I almost took pics but changed my mind.. those kids are someones babies.. I couldnt out them on the web like that.

[MsChelle]

Elementary school girls? Wow.....all I can hope for is they were parts of a Spring play costume.

Well so many grown women wear them that, sadly, I'm not surprised. I think crochet braids also look a hot mess on little girls and I still have never forgiven my mother for putting that mess in my head one summer when I was about 10.

 

[Chameleonchick]

NO way, I really hope not that is just way too young.

I have seen it before! My oldest daughter is 5, there is a 5th or 6th grader that wares weaves alot. I do weaves and extensions in the salon. I can spot a weave from 20 paces.

 

[janaq2003]

the hair was this kind of texture only a lil more matted.


I promise, I am not making this up.

 

[Solitude]

Maybe they were "protective styling." lol lol

Why does a little girl need a lacefront? What happened to wearing twists/braids with barettes, cornrows, box braids, etc?

She has that wig pulled done on her forhead like a cap.

[janaq2003]

I think it just pure laziness on the parents/guradians part. You guys should've seen it. The hair was stiff.

I would be too scared to put a long lacefront wig like that on a kid if I were the type of person to do that. Suppose it gets pulled off or they trip some how over it? Traumatizing.

 

[shunemite]

Creepy. Reminds me of those child beauty pageants where they have 5 yr olds with weave and make up walking around. Let kids be kids!!!!

 

[mzteaze]

I know I want to laugh...but its sad that its come down to this - parents that would rather staple hair to their kids heads rather than take care of them.

As bad as that woman that put a weave on her baby.

 

[kittikat24]

I'm seeing more and more little girls (I'm talking 4-6 yr olds) with phony ponys on. Most of the time the mother is super young and all over the place..its a "easy" way to style a childs hair

 

[Hairsnob]

I was hoping they were just playing dress up like we used to do. We would sneak and put my Mom's wig and heels on and walk around the house in them. I guess that's the difference, we just walked "around the house" in them LOL.

I really hope they were just playing. erplexed

 

[keepithealthy]

That's sad

 

[PearlyCurly]

I never thought i would say this BUT i hope they had some kind of illness, because i cannot think of another reason why a child would be wearing a wig

What a sad story...

 

[Roux]

sad..........,..

Its not "cute" or done. I have seen plenty of parents not want their chicl to wear twists or braids with barettes and instead prefer weaves on their child (ranging from 1 to 13 or 14) becuase is looks "nappy, dirty, ghetto or African".

IDK what's going on with these little girls but I wouldn't judge. So many time I wanted to slap a wig over DD hair because she cut the front off. And the growing back phase is real awkward. Then when I got so fed up and was trying to take it all off, I cut off even more and made it real low in the front and here we were stuck back at an awkward phase in the front. Sometimes I wish she wasn't 5 so I could just slap a wig on that thing and let it do it's thing underneath until I can cornrow her hair into styles again. I've been very tempted. But I'd never go for a LF or WL hair. Shoulder length is just fine. I wish they did have kiddie wigs. I'm sure they do for cancer patients but they are probably expensive.

Sorry Carribean ladies, but I saw this look all over the Carribean a few weeks ago, Bahama's, Grand Turk, St John and Puerto Rico. SMH

I know you're angry about the situation, OP but the imagery is killing me


ETA - I just saw that this thread is OLD!

It's a sad day when the word 'African' is synonymous with 'dirty'

Slavery and colonialisation did a fcuking number on us

South East londoners are loving this too....I usually see this look on someone with that obviously cream-lightened skin wearing apple bottom jeans with a spongebob figure cheesing with gold teef
