:huh: Why? Tons of people have long hair and don't have receding hairlines. And I don't see it being a problem for her (assuming it's real, I still think it looks a little plasticy). I'm certain they put her hair away in a braid or something so she can play without her hair interfering. How do you think little caucasian girls with long hair play? LOL

I've never seen a little caucasian girl with hair that long. And even if it were, it wouldn't be that thick. Maybe its just me. Idk I know I wouldn't want my daughters hair to be that long till she could take care of it on her own. And it does look a little plasticy don't it?

Why are there so many snippy little comments in this thread? Some of you don't realize how they make you sound small-minded and envious.

OOOOHHHH KKAAAYYY..... Whats up with all these FAKE responses discrediting this childs hair/heritage? All I see is a beautiful little BLACK girl thats been blessed with long, luscious, beautiful hair. All this "plasticky", lacewig, treebraid, weave crap CANT be serious. Black hair comes in ALL textures, lengths and colors. Think OUTSIDE the box people.

I know black hair comes in ALL different textures and what not. Her texture or length is not what makes me think it might not be all hers, its just that the top of her head looks like there might be some braids up in there where tracks are connected. But I'm just saying.

Thank you! I mean, we have a member on this site whose 13 year old daughter has KNEE LENGTH hair (and several others who have TBL hair) for crying out loud, and yep she's a "dark brown skinned" AA.

@celiabug It looks to me as thouh her hair was recently taken out of ponytailed braids. The texture in the front of her head matches the rest of the hair further back as well. I also see a brown skinned part in the middle of her head :look:

i don't think its weave...

a.) who would put weave that long on a little girl?
b.) where would they even find weave that long?
c.) if they did find weave that long and pretty, i'm sure the cost would be way more than anyone would be willing to pay for a child.
d.) it doesn't look like fake...shiny and long =/= weave.:rolleyes:

She has really pretty hair but its really not smart for a little girl to have hair that long. I think its ridiculous actually. Why does she need hair that long at that age? How does she play with all that hair? Why would her parents want her hair that long. Seems selfish to me. And I'm sure its heavy. Her hair lines gonna move all the way back by the time she's in her 20s.

I don't see a problem with it. Her hair looks very healthy so obviously her parents have worked out a way to protect her hair. Furthermore, hair doesn't work that way, I think you are thinking of weaves. Based on the photo's her weight is in proportion to be able to handle this imaginary weight that's coming form her hair. Her hair actually looks very soft, silky and near weightless.

The hair is beautiful and I'd love to have my hair reach her length but I remember being a kid and IDk if I would want hair down to my thigh. That has to get in the way..hell my mbl half wig gets in my way sometimes haha

There are plenty of people of direct African descent with type 2-3 hair texture (From West African Hausas and Fulanis to East African Amharas and Oromos). You're talking about the most diverse continent and people on the planet- every phenotype that exists will be represented within that population. Furthermore, most black people within recent generations have no clue as to their natural hair type due to being relaxed from age 4. I just knew the majority of my hair was type 4a/b when I went natural when it turned out that it wasn't.

Regardless, her hair is still quite beautiful...even if to some people it is an anomaly

OT: That be me. I had straightening comb/pressed hair when I was a tiny youngster, then jheri curl put in my hair in my slightly older but still younger years (and relaxer in my teenage years to the point where I don't know my hair type. :rolleyes: I mean, I look at my ng and pass assumption but I truly don't know. Wish I did though.

Truly beautiful little girl. I know grandma is proud.
It's sad that society has gotten to a place that there is almost a default assumption of fakeness because of length/texture. Long haired Black children are not unicorns, even though some haven't seen or seen it often.

I believe one poster was insinuating that we haven't seen a lot of Black people with that hair texture IRL, as in when we walk down the street in our neighborhood/city/town. People wanna clutch pearls like that's a lie and come all out the woodworks talking about African tribes and such with that texture....GTFOH, you know what she meant :rolleyes:

DISCLAIMER, I do think this cutie's hair is real and I am not questioning her heritage. I just wanted to point out something in the back-and-forth of this thread that troubled me....YES I have seen Black (full African, African-American, and a mix) people with that hair texture before in my life, and I'm pretty sure we ALL have, but I won't sit here and say I know a few personally or I see them walking down the streets of Durham NC every day.

*Waits for someone to come in throwing daggers and claim they live in the one town in America where more than 50% of the Black population has type 1-2 hair....that is natural....and growing from their scalp :lachen:*

Everyone pretty much summed up my reaction!
IMO as long as it is healthy, well styled, kept neat etc, a child can never have too much hair :) gorgeous.

No animosity or offense taken, and there's no need for the :rolleyes:. But I have a question....how many people do you know who wear the hair natural or even stretch relaxers long enough to know their real hair texture? The point that I was making is that many people may in fact have her hair texture or some variation, but are relaxed and pressed from such early ages that they don't know and may in fact have a much looser texture than they previously thought. Again there's no need for the snarkiness, and as I said in my other thread, maybe I just know a whole bunch of anomalies and evidence to the contrary (my family is about half natural & half relaxed, and even some with 3a relax their hair because they consider it convenient) *kanyeshrug*

Thanks for sharing, OP.

Okay, I can't read this whole thread. But do we know yet if her hair is relaxed or natural?

That's my exact hair history as well. I went natural for two years though. I just had to find out.
