Should I Relax My Daughter’s Hair

- By

9. Have you considered the alternatives?

There are more options that just relaxed or natural. If your daughter wants hair that swings you can flat iron it on occasion or even take it back old school and use a hot comb. If you need something that’s easy to manage consider braids, whether they’re extensions or her own hair, they will protect her hair from breakage. If she thinks relaxed hair is cuter and cooler show her some styles that don’t require a relaxer.

10. Consider your motivations?

Before you do something as drastic as putting chemicals in your child’s head, you should know why you’re doing it right? Is it because her hair has become too much to manage? Are you giving in to the pressures of your spouse or another family member? Make sure this is about what’s best for your daughter in the long run as opposed to a quick fix to your frustrations.

Did you get a relaxer before you were ready? How did that work out for you as you got older?
