A Friend (Female Friend) just posted a story on her facebook page. It is basically about how a little girl cut all of her hair off and her mother bought her extensions. No Big Deal, Right? According to her, the mother was only wanting her to look “normal”.
I, FOR ONE, HAVE A BIG PROBLEM WITH THIS! Ready for a Rant? Cuz Here it Comes!
1. This little girl is going to grow up expecting that all of her problems can be fixed with a simple solution.
2. Her hair is going to be damaged. I don't know much about hair, but my friend (Who is a Hair Dresser) told me that extensions are either glued or clipped in. They both cause breakage and with a little girl's fine hair, it’ll damage it even more. She will have a life full of unhealthy hair, split ends and her hair could start falling out at an early age.

3. She will grow up thinking her worth is measured by the way she looks. Her hair nor how she looks does not define her. She is now going to think that not having any hair or short hair is going to be ugly and her mom has just reinforced how important looks are (I know, I know - This is coming from a blog that posts pics of hotties all the time, but looks are not everything. We know this. Trust us)
4. Her mother needs to teach her to hold her head high and be proud of herself, regardless of the way she looks. She needs to be taught that it’s what is on the inside that counts.
As a father, I would be concerned and upset if my 4 year old daughter tried to caught her hair off. Kids don’t know what is right and wrong at that age, other than what their parents and what society has taught them. I don't know if I would go so far as to buy extensions though. I would have talked to her and let her know it was wrong, but there are many beautiful girls with long, short and no hair. Depending on how much was cut offf, I would try to get it shaped up and give her a new, short hair style. If it was cut too short, then have her wear some fancy fashion hats.
She needs to know she is beautiful with or without hair.
