She's doing her such a big favor by keeping her hair manipulation and chemical free. Allowing it to grow and flourish without restrictions -- constantly being gelled down, tied up, PULLED back, fried with a hotcomb, gently baked with all types of blowdryers....
It's funny how other races can let their kids run around with their hair in its natural state and it's cute, but when a child with tightly coiled hair is out and about, their mother is reckless, a perm needs to be SLAPPED in their head.....etc. etc.
All that pulling, tugging and mess on the hair can break it off. Yes it looks "cute" but at what expense to her child? Beefasa knows what she's doing. Giving a child a fair chance to decide what should be done to their hair, once they're old enough to have a say. And it'll be nice, full and healthy. Not the hair of a 30 year old woman at 10 years old.
