My children will be brought up in an enviroment that fosters love of your natural self centered around African values and traditions. My inner circle of friends are all naturals so that is pretty much what they will be exposed to. Because of their upbringing I doubt that they will want to relax their hair; however, when they leave my household if they choose to relax I would voice my dissatisfaction. But again I think it will be highly unlikely.More power to you and your daughter on your journey-it just isn't for me! @BROWNSUGAPOET

I know women in their 50s that have been getting perms for over 30 yrs and hadn't had any problems with their hair because of the relaxers and I know other women that have had problems and it's because at some point in time they didnt take care of their hair like they should have. Putting s relaxer on my stepdaughter's hair works fine for me because I have Lupus and since it affects your joints it's alot easier for me to manage her hair. She has already been taught that she is just as beautiful without it. I don't feel a person should be condemned if they decide to get their hair relaxed. If they decide they want a "straighter" look then so be it. I am rockin a very short natural right now and love it but that's not to say that I won't get another perm a yr from now. I think it's all about how and what you teach them. What will happen when your girls get older and decide they want perms From my personal experience and from what I’ve seen it’s how you take care of the hair.

If chemically altering your stepdaughter’s hair works for you guys then more power to you. I for one think it is totally unnecessary. Her hair may be fine now, but there are long term effects with regular use of relaxers. @BROWNSUGAPOET, there are tons of ways to manage coarse hair in its natural state.

My step daughter is 12 and she just started getting relaxers about every 3 or 4 months. Her hair is extremely long and thick and very hard to manage without a relaxer so if the hair is being taken care of like it should be and not getting over processed then there shouldn't be any problems. She hasn't had any scalp burns and her hair is to the middle of her back. It was done to make her think she'd be prettier it was done because it's alot easier to manage. @ ne0s0u1

So breaking a comb justifies applying harsh chemicals to a child's head? Relaxers break and thin hair, promote hair loss, stunt hair growth, cause burns and scalp irritation. I will never, ever, put a relaxer on my child's head and I will teach my daughter(s)to embrace the natural texture of their hair. We as black women need to love ourselves as god made us, sans the weave, wigs, contacts, relaxers, texturizers, fake nails, and heavy makeup. True beauty is naturalness!
