Okay her hair may not always look so great and these people are from the country side these are not city people. I have seen people in rural America look like this too Black and white.
Okay her hair may not always look great but at least she HAS hair and there is potential. Unlike some people on here that will always and forever look a hot mess with people lying to them on how good they look when it is complete and total BS.
Why are people so focused on a Babies head just thank G-d she has a family that adopted her and gave her a future and opportunity that some of us even with our birth families don't have the money and connections that she does. The Universe G-d or whatever you call it really was benevolent with this child.

Well to each is own!! I just hope this little girl doesnt grow up to have a complex about her hair like many of us did because of what people are writing about and judging about her now. If I was in the limelight and they snapped some pics of me with my natural hair out when I was young and wrote what they are writing Im sure I would be scared to ever rock my natural hair!!!
No hard feelings Im just saying let the girl be with the hair. It isnt that serious.

AA people put too much importance in hair. Look at the girl in the first picture on the right. Isn't that Zahara hair style?
I know I'm late on this thread to ask this, but what do you all mean by crawling?
Thanks for explaining, Jamarra! I didn't know there was a name for it, most of all of the pics of me as a child has hair that's doing just that. Eventually, my mom discovered Vitapoint, LOL.
How sad that a grown woman would write about a little girl's hair! Is there nothing else she can be writing about? Perhaps use her voice to make a difference instead of pecking at a petty topic such as hair? To be honest, the author's hair looks dry and damaged in her picture. Zahara and her hair are beautiful - black, healthy-looking, and just gorgeous! I used to wear my hair like that when it was natural and I received nothing but compliments!
****************************************
I must add that I don't think that a woman as beautiful and self-aware as Angelina Jolie, with a man also very self-aware as Brad Pitt would have their beautiful children walking around looking a mess! What about all of those models who sport the afro's and "crazy unkempt hair" look as a fashion statement? Is the author of this article living under a rock? Because I was sure that we had gone past those times when it was looked down upon to wear one's natural hair! Today's fashion is natural and being yourself - anything goes!
Well personally, I don't dig afros...didn't in the 70s when my uncles used to do it to my hair and don't now. Sorry. I guess I was 'fromatized!
In terms of keeping a child's hair most convenient to kids and their activities, plaits w/o or miminal holders and stuff is probably the best bet. You'll have less tangles w/ plaits and subsequently hurt the kid less when you do whatever to it. This is why most folks opt for plaits of some sort. Frankly I'd be more concerned about OTHER kids messing w/ my kid's hair if left in a 'fro. I'm not just talking about teasing either, but kids trying to do things to their hair.
LOL...my mother called "crawl" that, but other folks say "creep". At what point did you hair stop doing it so much? I think mine stopped around 10 or so.
I'm 18 and my hair still does that. I never heard my mom describe it as "crawling" or "creeping" (mabye cause she's Jamaican?) but when I told I wanted to go natural, she was like "Alright but you're gonna need some Frizz-ease."Probably around 7 or 8, when my mom got more heavy handed with the hair grease. I wonder if it's because baby hair is finer?
I think it's partly tied up (in this case) about her being raised by White folks.

Actually, believe Jada and Will who are the major investors in Carols Daughter's hair products went to Angie and Brad to show them what to put on Zahara's hair and how it could be styled right after she was photographed with hair for the first time.
And if you have seen Jada, her kids (including the boys) and even her daughter on TV wear their hair the way Zahara is wearing her hair in that picture. Natural! Curls going free and wild. No one has ever said Jaden's (Jada's son) hair look undone or bad in the movies.
Actually, I'm glad her cute little curls aren't pulled back in those neat "too tight" ponytails that break the edges of the hair off. I really hate to see that!
That's the damn truth and don't even get me started on these lying heifers who claim its not. People are so damn ignorant, all they see is color...ticks me off. My SO and I are HUGE proponents of adoption (personal experience) and TRUST when I say, a child doesn't give a damn about your skin color or whether or not you can tell them how to cornrow their hair...
All they want is to be loved, supported, and provided with a stable home and a loving family. That's it. But adults and their animosity regarding this chroma system they've embraced...they allow that to taint their thinking, even when it comes to the tiniest of children. It's ridiculous and despicable.
Interestingly enough, this is a bigger problem in the US than it is out here where I live. It makes me feel ashamed.
This girl was a tiny orphan who came from poverty and this ridiculous "article" has the AUDACITY to imply that African Americans are SO, SO shallow and unappreciative that we supposedly believe that somehow Zahara will "resent" her mother because Angelina's trying to give her love and a good home and stability when all Baby Z's tryin' to do is get her herrrrr did. Wha?? A good home and food on the table?? PLEASE, Z's trying to get it fried, dyed, and laid to the side...
Whatever, Ms. Brown/Samuels. Both of these women are idiotic and shameful.
