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…
Thank you! Cuz it is…
OMG!
please googa:
Man Confronts Shoppers After They Bought Food With A Welfare Card & Used Cash For Lottery Tickets!
You see what they do to each other!! lordt!
I never would call her or anyone else a bad mom.
Except Draya.
Who left lil Gilbert Arenas, Jr. in the house to eat dryer lint.
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.
That is a very pretty little girl.
And if her mama wanna pull her hair out then its her decision. Chit.
*hollers* Leave me alone Dubb.
In other words mind ya business lol
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.
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.
Get out my mine. I got my own lil girl hair problems over here.
I was about to ask the same. That’s his deddy?
was it?
cause that dude took the steak
Shoot me too. You see the hair on top of my crazy kids hair, and the almost nothing in the back. (it’s growing though. ;))
true but the amount, length and twisting of strands …
I think so. But I don’t know.
That boy look JEST LIKE GILBERT. Its side by sides out there.
Gil say that aint his son. They need Maury in they life
It said they were all in on it. But it was funny, especially when he said, “Pregnant, smoking, and pajama pants.”
Cute lil girl.
I thought that was a Halloween costume.
Me tooooo!!!
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!!!!!
This actually reminds me of that gravi of that baby with the lace front ?
Those braids look heavy as he11.
Gilbert wouldn’t have claimed him…you know how that goes…
Nope. Especially because of who the momma was.
I still wouldn’t call her a bad mom. Not with that young mentality and a mom that look like she left Draya her own self a time or two. Present she is doing it. That’s old chit
Its a bit much for a 5 year old to me but it ain’t my 5 year old
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.”
What in concrete is in that childs head? That shyt looks a hot damm mess, and they got the nerve to profiling proudly. #stupidparentsdostupidshyt
Too long for my taste in a child however she ain’t come out my pussc so have at it ?
His ass always putting somebody outside…like he put poor Jamal in the trash can…
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.
Exactly
*goes looking for Whoop that Trick on playlist*
It still looks horrid and inappropriate for a 5yo but to each his own…
Is that the dream’s Chile?
Yes
I TOLD yall I find comedy in situations not supposed to be funny. My ex husband was so mad at me I giggled at that part in the movies. Everyone else was like “oh no” and I giggled. He elbowed the shat outta me.
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.
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) ?
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
Lol
Lol my own hair issues chit
That was a mess. hahahaha
I saw that sh*t!
Oh ok
Right, I can understand throwing the woman out but damn your kids too .
Yeah, I am not here for throwing the kids out. smdh. The both of them are retarded if you ask me.
We tryna train Dub10 almost 11 to start tryna do something with her own hair. She going to middle school next year. Its time. Cause her sister hardly be here (she used to help and comb her sister hair for me) and after 30 years of doing lil girl hair (my little sister, my niece, then came Dub20..) At 38, I am muthafawkin TIED.
It still looks heavy! That style is not even age appropriate.
I wonder if the dream had anything to say about this..
Uhh miss? NO! DO her hair. Don’t nobody care that you tired. I’m about to send you one more head to do…maybe. lmao
Both retarded. Gloria just seems like she is wiling to put with anything for the right price. She just seems so simple .
Now that is just too damn much
So we weaving at 5? Cool. Not my kid. Dats her bebe. Explore baby Nash and ex Mrs.
Nash!
Just the simple stuff she need to know how to do. On like Saturday we going out. Hell can you at least do a snatch back ponytail? Can you moisturize dolo? Help me help YOU lil mama.
That’s about the age I let my girls start. I still washed & occasionally flat ironed. My girls have always been natural. It took me going natural for them to truly appreciate their hair.
I never saw The Dream with his daughter….NOT one pic!!
What happened with his domestic case?? Or was it assault??
Hair is light for grown up crochet braid, but it is not made for kids.. T
She should use the kids crochet hair..
This made me think of the baby being dragged on the wedding dress ?? Dem they kids!
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.
The other day, alittle girl abt 6 came to my job with a whole sew in. I just shook my head.
It looks heavy af. Let me hush ain’t my child. Let me know what the Dream think.
Leading by example. Love it!
Very
I learned…took me 23 years! Just keep it short! Got a frohawk right now and even that is too long right now lol.
Well Brandy should be mad at Sonia for passing that edge-less gene down. Brandy was born like that. I am convinced on Thea that up under that mushroom cut she didnt have edges eem then. Born with a Peabo Bryson hairline.
OMG DEAD. I can not.
Crochet braids?
I was quite happy that my first was bald until she was almost 1-1/2 and even then it was peach fuzz for another 6 months. Hell, I pay people to do my hair for a reason.
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.
Yep. I don’t know why she went into that long explanation.
I hate/love you for this. ANd WHY did I go to look to see if the child’s tights were dirty. OMG
Hey, All! WT entire F?????? Fukk her edges…her poor lil neck is gon’ be leanin’ to one side — HARD! Stupid Stupid Stupid (looking and actually).
I did tooooooooooooo
Well she can’t call Countess Vaughn for chit.
My girls had hair like tweety bird forever! When their hair finally grew one day they were playing w/my son & he cut one of their ponytails off. My baby came walking in the room w/her braided ponytail in her hand still attached to the barrette ???
If she need to know how to heal her hairline fulla pus and infection smelling like an earring back… from wig glue from lacefronts. Call Countess.
Dead
On Soul Train Awards I was thinking why you aint grow you no edges while you been sitting up in that damn room you singing about Bran?
That was messed up lol
Well I know most black folks know the term…maybe she broke it on down for her “non black” fans and friends, like zendaya.
My mom was tied too. She took me to the salon the summer before 5th grade for that relaxer ?.
It was messed up for Countess to say she aint have no forehead meat bc of that. I would have never told nobody that.
D E A D she probably didn’t know the term her damn self
O M G. I’m done. I have to go!
hahahahahahhahhahaha
WHALE Lil Violet is cute BUT THAT MESS LOOKS DUMB
Fuggs wrong with folks.
Lol gone get me in trouble at work!
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???
Looks like when Whoopi did that standup and put the shirt on her head like it was some hair
Love ya!
Hey, DTTS! Hey! Exactly!!!!! Way back on her first comedy standup in ’85! That show was brilliant!
Dead
I thought maybe it was a costume wig she let her wear. Dragon4 wears his costumes all the time. Yesterday he wore Iron Man, complete with the mask, to Wegmans.
I tell everybody DEM HER/HIM/THEY kids! You better be blind ? to all THEY foolishness. Clearly nobody tells Stevie about his lack of edges and he’s holding on to like 4 dreads in the back so…maybe it’s fetch.
:fistbump:
New/open post
PEARL
Yes Whoopi was brilliant!
Not I said the ?
& Yess Wayne stopped calling. She said she found pics of an instagram model naked in the crib
OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I woulda been pissed.
Dub10 didnt have any hair for a LONG time. My ex husband mom and sister and his nieces got long natural hair down their back. I was like why is my damn baby bald headed? My mother in law was saying its gonna grow. Just wait. I was like WHEN lady? WHEN? She was 3 and it took off growing, Thought I was gonna have to send her to preschool bald headed. I was so so worried Jesus.
Nick is a rapper too. Remember Gigolo? There are others ?? and I know the words??
She said fetch #dead
Lol that was my sis
Ohh posted baby she got Dreama hair
Where’s this baby’s neck? Her hair is a mess and her thot-a-trot mama needs a beating.
It really is a bit much for anyone, let alone a 5 year old. looks like it’s weighing the kid down.
Just say the child’s hair is crocheted. Nevertheless, it can still be heavy.
And you wonder why these children are so grown???…SMH let a child be a child!!!
i see she reads the blogs, LMAO
???
???
?she shoulda been doing scalp massages
?she shoulda been doing scalp massages
It just a appear to be a bit much for a young girl. Not the weight but the style. Nevertheless, she’s a cutie pie!

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!!!
Exactly, imagine her trying to sleep comfortably at night, Christina’s brain is collecting dust!!!!!!

The hair doesn’t have to be heavy ,and for me it’s not about that. That hair does not look age appropriate for that child. It looks very overwhelming! Just because they make it , does not mean it’s for everyone.

Why the poor baby head cocked to the side? We all have used that braiding hair and that looks like at least 3 packs… and that had to HURT.. CORNROWS and the weight of that foolishness. And its flammable!!! We worried about her entire body!!!

Then had the nerve to put a DANG BOW IN THERE TOO!!!!

Just bc your child likes it does not mean you give it to them
Sounds like the alopecia causing tree braids.. anything tied ‘into’ cornrows causes stress, especially crochet braids on a young scalp. smh.
Why it look like they picked that baby head up just for the pic? ?
I don’t care what she thinks it weighs, it still doesn’t need to be in her head.
And she should know that those braids were not made to be put on a 4 yrs old…come on…they damn near draggin the floor…there are plenty of styles she can try on her child without all the extra
That looks a hot @$$ mess! Damn the edges, what the hell was Christina thinking?!
It’s crochet twists, leave ppl alone American geez ? Everyone does parenting differently.
????I knew this was coming when I saw this on fb,I thought it was photoshopped.
lol she was nice with the response
Ya’ll see the video of Wayne’s baby momma # 8 I believe, on CthaGods show? She had the nerve to call CMilli delusional, wait. Bish whet? I mean CMilli is “special” but pot calling the kettle my a**. When keeping it real goes wrong.
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. Heavy braids, tight braids, and perms on young kids is only to make it convenient for parents that can’t figure out or don’t have time to do their children’s hair.
F* all that it’s ugly
Heavy or not they’re still ugly as hail
It doesn’t even look nice on the poor kid!
I just came for the comments
Those braids are heavy, we all know that, and too long, then to make matters worse she added color. This bby is only 5, my goodness.
She had a daughter with a black man, and she doesnt like her hair texture so she did this bull sheet. typical
Chile that Shyt is UGALEE!!!!!!!! Even if it was light as a feather it still looks a mess… I wouldn’t let my child wear that for Halloween…
I call bs because I rock crochet all the time. There is always an adjustment period to the weight of the hair.
No Brandy kept those braids in her hair and now her edges are gone till November of never coming back. Shoot her hair on the Soul Train Awards had me cringing at how tight it looked.
That is too much hair for a child of that size and age.
That is too much hair for a child of that size and age.
Crochet braids and they are heavy…I had them and I’m an adult so I can only imagine that poor child’s neck pain…she’s silly
TOO LONG AND TOO MUCH.
That hairdo is too much for a small girl.
She means to say they were crochet braided in. Still too much hair. I don’t care how light it is. Doesn’t suit her
I tried doing this to my daughters hair with small micro braids and it was too much hair. My hubby made me take it out the same day. I think she got it done thinking it’d b diff and didn’t have time nor the skills to take it out before the event.
And I never see Dream with this little girl either
I mean why make your kid look like carnival folk? That hair is ridiculous.

Crocheted or not that’s to much hair for a 5yr old and the purple isn’t necessary either.
