on the oppisite end of the spectrum - bald headed little girls

[brg240]

I was reading the thread about the wl little boy and I realized even though I don't care much, there is little chance I'd take care of that. Then I thought I dont really want to take care of a little girl's hair either... In the past i actually semi seriously joked to my family that my little girls will have fades until they are 13.


Thughts? Is this masculine? Weird?

If I have kids I probably won't do this but I think it would make things so much easier.

I wouldn't do that to my little girl. My boy is getting his hair cut when he turns 2 at the oldest. My girl I'm going to let her grow her hair out as long as it gets. I couldn't imagine walking around with my little girl and she has a fade. They would prob think she has some type of disorder. It just goes against everything I've been brought up to think about little girls.

brg240, this is completely off topic, but who was that Dione Native American man in your previous siggy? I have no issues with a fade on a little girl. If she likes it and seems happy, then I'm fine.

It can be really cute to me...but it depends on how tomboyish the little girl is otherwise.

The little girls with no hair I've seen with little gold hoops, other jewelry, and a girly dress can look very cute with the style- like their sweet little delicate features stand out.

Eta: My daughter was considering cutting it all off at one time, but it was non negotiable for me that she had earrings if she cut it and she wasn't ready for all that. I hate doing her hair so it was no biggie for me

That would be totally wrong in this society. She would be picked on and will end up with low self esteem. Heck, a lot of kids with just very short hair has issues from being called bald headed. Children can be cruel.

You want to send your children out there with enough self esteem to be able to endure what's out there...and making them wear a fade is just helping the bullies. Your appearance is a BIGGIE when it comes to self esteem.

I wouldn't do it with my daughter, but if others do I'm not going to knock it.

I would but she couldn't have any designs like stars, hearts, braids in a few spots, one side shaved, funky hair colors, et cetera. I am not sure how her dad would feel. He liked me when I had a 1-guard or how I am now with MBL hair. But that's me. Not our baby girl. He is one of the few men I know that could give two rips about hair. He has done baldies, Mohawks, Caesar's, WL, et cetera. Not braids though because his hair ended up looking like it had a fuzzy halo.

I don't think it is weird. The only thing I would be concerned about is how her peers might treat her. But coming from a mom like me and a father like the one she will have I suspect all the other little girls might beg their mom for a one guard. LOL! My family wouldn't tell me squat because I've shaved my hair off twice and have made great progress both times but they would be SOOOOOOOOOO UPSET!

Kids also pick on girls with long hair (sometimes pulling and cutting their hair) and with natural hair (or at least they used too). People, both children and adults, are going to find something to not like about someone, and that's something I realized as a kid. But if you rock what you like, how you like, unapologetically, people either love it or they keep their mouths shut . I've seen little kids like this and they seem perfectly happy with their long hair, short hair, curly hair, kinky hair, mohawk, whatever.

My aesthetic preference for women is long hair and short-medium length (not flatironed!!LOL) for guys, so I would go in with my daughter maintaining long hair. But if that's not her personality, and if the hassle of getting her hair done isn't worth it to her, I'd have no problem cutting it short. I don't think bald looks good on anyone, and you don't have to go that low for easy maintenance, so it would be a TWA. There are millions of African girls who have been and are bald, looking absolutely pretty and adorable , but they don't usually keep it that way once they get older.

I would never to that to my little girl unless she specifically asked me to. One of my friends has WL hair, and unfortunately her daughter inherited her dad's genetics and has sparse, EL hair at 5 years old, and she has a major complex about it. Her mom doesn't want to put in the effort to care and grow her particular type of hair, and so the baby is growing up with a complex being constantly compared to her mother. Having girls is more work than boys in general; if you're going to raise one, make the effort to do the work to care for their hair as well.
