I was at Walmart yesterday and saw a little mixed girl, around 5 or so with rough looking, brassy blondish colored hair. The girl looked biracial and I assumed it was her natural color even though it looked off to me. I've seen plenty of brown skinned biracial kids with fairly light hair. Usually the hair is beautiful though and not dry and unnatural looking
.
I go to the adjacent aisle and I see a second child, maybe 8 years old with the same color hair and then I noticed very dark roots. Not the kind of darker roots that goes with light hair but ROOTS. Clearly the light hair was a bleach job.
Both of these little girls had bleached hair. I have never seen anything like it. These girls were so young. It was dry and awful looking too. I think their hair was straightened as well.
The mom was an Afro Latina . I couldn't help but wonder whether she wanted the kids to appear more Caucasian. Why would someone do that to their kids? Coloring a little girl's hair that way doesn't sit right with me but to each their own I suppose.
