Christina Milian Responds to Your Concerns About Her Daughter’s Edges

Singer-turned-reality TV star Christina Milian responded to criticism about her 5-year-old daughter Violet Nash‘s excessive hair weave on Instagram.com.

Milian took Violet to meet her bestie Zendaya Coleman at the Inaugural World AIDS Day Benefit on Tuesday night.

Photos from the event shows Violet wearing a head full of heavy yarn-like hair extensions. The photos drew widespread criticism from concerned bloggers who worried that the heavy weave would snatch out the little girl’s edges.

Christina laid all the fears to rest with a post on Instagram.

She said her daughter’s hair wasn’t twisted inside the extensions.

“it’s another method used where they are tied into her corn rows,” she wrote. “The hair isn’t heavy. If you’ve ever grabbed a bag of Afri braiding hair, you know they are very light weight.”

Read Christina’s full explanation below:

For those of you more concerned with Violet’s hair (understandably cause you just don’t know) her hair isn’t in the twists, it’s another method used where they are tied into her corn rows. The hair isn’t heavy. If you’ve ever grabbed a bag of afri braiding hair you know they are very light weight. But just trying new things. Violet likes it and it’s not damaging. Xo

Now don’t you feel bad for calling her a bad mother?

That chit looks heavy as hail!

Mama Mili is obviously smoking dope. I had a head of braids once that had my neck hurting because they were so heavy. This hairstyle has taken over this poor child…

I never would call her or anyone else a bad mom.

Except Draya.

Very light until combined with other packs.

I believe what she is describing is crochet braids. They cornrow the hair and then use a crochet hook to attach. People do say that it is pretty light.

I read that it was fake.

Danielle Carmicle

That’s too much hair for a child that young. I understand
experimenting, but that hairstyle isn’t appropriate. I don’t knock her
for the method of braiding (or twisting), but 32 inch twist are a bit
much for a child that’s only 40 inches tall.
Just Keya

People mad about when the kids hair not done(Blue Ivy) and now they are mad when it is. (this kid) Can’t win for losing I guess.

why Care?

That is too much hair for a little girl. Those are crotchet braids, which means 9 times out of 10 they were sewn dwn.
Tuah but yall be talking bout Lil sky blue being nappy headed .

Snickers…she left who? lol. Is that really that little boy’s dad? I always thought it was. ANd yes, she will NEVER be able to get a mom of the year award. Leaving your baby in the house with lunchables to go strip and be chasing men at the club. FOH.

And if that is his son, both Gilbert and Draya AINT SHYT. This poor boy been walking around without a dad and a stripper/hoe ass momma for YEARS. Yall KNEW Gilbert was the dad, and still just had him out here. Sad.

Gil paid Draya to say it’s not his. But it is. They do need Maury!!!!!

Nope. Especially because of who the momma was.

Chile Gilbert dont care about the kids he actually CLAIM. Put they asses right on outside whenever he puts Laura out. Remind of Hustle and Flow when DeeJay put Paula Jai Parker AND her damn baby outside. Like “let me help you out with a bye bye.”

His ass always putting somebody outside…like he put poor Jamal in the trash can…
Just Keya

Uhhhh. DO I think Gilbert don’t care about the other kids? I think he does, but he trippin putting the kids out WITH the momma. But I’ve been saying Laura could NOT live no where that I pay for. F that. And when DeeJay put her and that crying baby out and Cookie was all big belly and crying, I was so sad. ANd I kind of laughed. Like sir, if you don’t get that baby off that damn step.

Well…if Gil paid then why didn’t she have enough money for a babysitter for him when she was out bussin it wide open? Wait…I forgot who I was talking about. The same man that stayed throwing Laura and their kids out with no $. She picked the wrong dude to get pregnant by, something about him is heartless.
Monday

The technique is called CROCHET BRAID. I do it. The hair has to be cornrowed which can still be damaging to the edges if not taken care properly.

The hair is light but her edges can still be ripped off especially at this age.

Look on youtube. Ladies are ditching the 1k $$malaysian weave hair for 5$ a pack freetress and modell modell hair

Hey Christina!! (Since we know she reads us) ?
_perfectly__incomplete__

Each to their own I guess, my opinion is that children don’t need to do anything to they’re hair that isn’t necessary, this is simply for a fashion reason so not necessary, don’t risk damaging your hair until you can understand the effects

Dub20 got her own first perm. She was 16. If you can pay to upkeep your own chemicals you are more than welcome to do so. Dub10 gonna be bald headed if she ever try to put some chems in her hair. She need to stick to the rivers and lakes that she is used to. A damn flat iron.

I have in braids right now. They’re box braids & my head feel like it gained aleast 3 pds so I know that shit heavy on shawty head.

Hope she got Brandy’s number to see if it can be remedied when she’s a teen and rebelling and mad at her momma for lack of edges.

MotherOfDragons, GetOffMyENuts

Christina…if you ARE reading… Hey girl! How are you? Did Weezie stop calling yet? Those pics with Dhea and that Sara Vivan chick speaking on the situation must have been hurtful. I’m hoping you are really over it because honestly, Wayne looks like a walking disease. I did say that Violet had a lot of hair in her head but hey, that’s your decision to make. I wanted to know if maybe someone stepped on her foot or she fell, because her white tights were ripped and dirty. I used to like that Dip It Low song. Call Nick Cannon, maybe y’all can rekindle your romance. That would be good look for you. Leave these producers and rappers alone, it’s NEVER going to work with them and has done nothing to further your career.

Amen. You see Ju on IG and that hair. smh.

Strange enough she invited Zendaya to meet Violet while wearing a hairstyle she knows people would be coming for her…

Since Blu Ivy it seems other uses their daughter for media relevancies… For the next week we’ll hear about it from Christina Millian to get more interviews. Then Youtubers will use the same style on their kids or themselves, the Asians will switch their beauty supply product for crochet hair… See how we are getting used to spend money in this hair business???

Yea, the bag is light until you’ve added 5 or 6 to your head. That crap is heavy. I don’t think the issue is how much damage is being done to her hair. The issue is, it looks ridiculously stupid and ratchet. Furthermore, that’s too much hair on a child head at that age dummy. Who does this?

Yes Violet will like them because she is a child… When Violets edges are snatched out by 10 and she has thin hair then she will be mad at her mommy.
