Pics of co-worker's grand-daughter thigh length hair

I have to keep it real. Why are ppl making it seem like it would be so out of this world for someone to think this child is mixed. I know that I would think so. I have never seen a black child that wasn't mixed with her that texture or length. You call it ignorance..or whatever..but I'm not going to seat here and pretend that I wouldn't think this child was part Asian.

It's not that we think she COULDN'T be bi-racial, It's just that you have some people who will insist that she MUST be mixed, even when told that she is not. While her hair is certainly unusually long, some people think any little Black girl with hair BSL/MBL/WL has to be mixed and can't be convinced otherwise.

I grew up in the 70s and while WL+ hair was uncommon, I remember more little girls with long, thick hair than I see now. I never heard "you gotta be mixed to have long hair" until the 90s. I think this is a new phenomenon brought about by relaxer breakage. I will admit that people used to say you had to have "good" hair for it to be long, however.

Maybe this type of thought is regional, I dunno.

What is the obsession with someone's racial heritage? Why was it even brought up in this thread? The girl has beautiful hair period. The end.

On a hair board where so many "complain" about being asked if they are mixed because of hair length it's a trip to come in this thread to read posters claiming she's mixed or defending their opinion on her racial make up. SMDH

I'm starting to think the obsession with race has more to do with the posters here than it has to do with people IRL.

She has lovely hair!!!

I've honestly never seen anything like that before, except for the lady that used to dance on Soul Train and was in Rick James Super Freak video!

I've seen those bullsh*t "must have some indian" or "she gotta be mixed" comments very often in the past week or so!! Which is kind of amazing to me.

But then again, some folks are no more enlightened here on this board (or any others for that matter) any more than a layperson out on the street.

ITA, the OP never mentioned the child's race. She only posted a child with long beautiful hair. Black people have all sorts of textures, and why would it matter if one of her parents was East Indian? Considering the increase in interracial relationships amoung Black women why would that be a surprise?

I hope y'all ain't referencing me!

My initial post was not questioning her racial make-up, therefore the "lol" at the end of the sentence. I was just being silly cuz I knew the "she must be mixeded" was gonna come out soon. I've been noticing these types of posts recently, too. I certainly don't think Black women can't have long hair.

 

[lesedi]

Her racial make-up doesn't matter. I was just highlighting a trend I have noticed on this board. Her hair is beautiful and would be beautiful regardless of her race.
I don't think anyone was implying that Black people can't grow hair or that she was 'destined' to have hair of that length because some of us think she looks mixed.

Oh, okay. Nope, not just you.

 

[blueberryd]

This is unbelievably gorgeous, uncommonly long and amazingly root-to-tip healthy hair for a child of ANY race...IMO...

 

[sweetpeadee]

SHUT YO' MOUF!!!!!! Ummmm.... 2 questions:

1. What they doing to that baby's hair?????
2. And can they do it to mine?????

 

[Guitarhero]

Wow the same hair as my grand daughter her mother trimmed it to just butt length now she is only 7 Beautiful but a lot of work sometimes wash day is really crazy when she is over

But you still see that you and her had the same-ish hair texture of 2b'ish. It does make a difference in ease of length, not necessarily that it is impossible. eh, don't mind me, I'm still riding high on my one hip-length strand.

 

[Raspberry]

Ohhhh my goodness that is alot of hair. I would cry if I had to wash and style all that..lol...she is adorable, her curl pattern looks like crimps.

Yesss. Her hair is gorgeous but I would cut it back to waistlength if she were my daughter.

 

[hair4romheaven]

Her ends are so straight.
Beautiful hair. so beautiful it looks unreal.

 

[SherylsTresses]

ETA: This is in response to questions about her racial background to my knowledge, not implying anything.

Her grandfather (my co-worker) is African-American and is as dark complexion as I am. Her mother is not much lighter than me. I haven't seen a pic of her father though.

 

[nubiennze]

No lie, my stomach fluttered when I clicked on these pics. What a gorgeous, happy little girl. I'm too lazy for that much hair on myself or any offspring of mine but kudos to her mother; she's clearly doing something right.

 

[scspencer2]

*Jaw drop.* That is AMAZING!!! Thanks for posting OP

 

[~You Da Truth~]

Beautiful lil girl with a gorgeous head of hair! Kudos to the mother!

What does this mean? One can not look at someone and say "oh you as dark as I so you must not be mixed." I know of light skin/biracials that marry dark skin people and had dark skin children. I know of two dark skin people who produced light skin children. I have also seen dark skin biracials especially when one of the parent is Asian, Latino, or fron Indian.

Regarding the young girl, I think her hair is beautiful. It reminds me of FinallyFree's daughter. I must admit I am curious to know how she wears her hair on a day-to-day basis.

...?!?! I'm just stating a fact with the knowledge I'm aware of. I'm not interested in anything else but facts. It's my co-worker's grand-daughter thigh length hair.

 

[MariposaSexyGirl]

Wow that is a lot of hair! Very pretty.

 

[DDTexlaxed]

What a cute lil girl! I can only wish....

 

[WantNatural]

Wow, that is absolutely beautiful hair! I would like to say that I would want my daughter's hair to look like that, but I'm lazy - I don't know if I have the patience for that much hair! You don't know how often I thank my blessings I have a boy! LOL She does look to be a very happy girl, and she's gorgeous!

 

[itsjusthair88]

So little girl's blow me out the water with the hair growth now? My and my little NL strands are #pitiful

lol...but she is soooo cute and it looks healthy all the way to the ends, so somebody must be keeping up with it!

There is no "Here We Go" with me because I do not care.

I just wanted to know if you were trying to imply something or if you were just stating a fact. It was not clear considering the previous posts. People do say things in between the lines on this forum.
