Parenting Fail: Yes They Actually Did This To The Baby’s Hair

Posted on Aug. 28th, 2012

Why?

August 28, 2012 at 9:51 pm

People are allowed to care for their children however they want, especially when it comes to something as trivial as hairstyles. This is NOT super obnoxious. At least the baby isn't neglected and somebody thinks enough of being a mother to present her child to the world being (her personal definition of) groomed.

You ladies obviously don't know the chemicals that are involved in this procedure. This baby is entirely to young for this to happen,...it's obvious that the mother is probably too immature to have children. They think they're kids are toys.

they're just having fun. as long as there are no harmful chemicals in the child's head...what's the big deal. folk need to lighten the hell up.

protein styling gel, which is what this most probably is, is not harmful.

styling gel contains alcohol. Harmful to virgin hair.

It is not so much a parenting fail, as really confusing and unnecessary.

Funny as shit this is the best comment on this page, like they are trying to save the baby from embarrassment.

I love babies when they're this age...and up to about 9 months. I always jokingly call them "jelly brains" 'cuz you can do this kind of stuff to them and they have NO IDEA. lol

I am in no position to comment, except to say I just hope there were no chemicals or weird products used. If not, there is not really a problem.

I've seen worse...at least this style isn't hurting the child. BUT parents really do need to stop and consider the fact that children (babies especially) have extremely delicate, paper-thin skin, this includes the head.

Martha Nell Foster:

That is why they made cosmetology doll heads to practice on...not your real live baby's head. Just in case you mess the doll head up you can get another one...but your baby's head, it might be damaged for life.

The hilariousness is they blurred the eyesout like that's going to save the baby's identity. Most babies have eyes, but not many infants have finger waves. If you know that baby, you KNOW that baby.

Joanne Martinez:

You know how some parents just want to experiment. And really, how much damage is involved in FINGER WAVES!

The mother needs to be slapped upside her head! Who in their right mind would do this to a baby? A baby's hair is so delicate, let it stay natural..ugh!

Briana Barnes:

The baby's hair isn't chemically altered. The hair just has gel in it
Alli Jayne:
September 3, 2012 at 1:48 pm
ummm do you think gel does not contain chemicals?..Is that appropriate for a newborn baby? Anyone with an ounce of sense in their brain would never do this o a baby. Are you a mother????? Last I checked, Johnson&Johnson does not make gel for babies.

I wasn't saying it was right for her to put it in her child's hair. No I am not a mother, and won't be anytime soon seeing as how I don't want to become a mother before I can properly care for a child. My statement was directed at your comment on letting a baby's hair stay natural. And if you read my statement I said that the hair isn't chemically altered, meaning that the hair is still natural. Although hair gel may have chemicals in it (and everything has chemicals in it whether it is a natural chemical or a man made chemical i.e. fruits have acid in them), it does not change the composition of the baby's curl pattern. Chemically altering the hair would be putting in either a relaxer or a texturizer, which does not seem to be the case in this picture. Also since baby's hair is so soft, the parent could have easily done this with water, or baby oil, or baby oil gel by Johnson&Johnson. Johnson&Johnson have even recommended putting gel or baby oil in a toddler(I understand this is not a toddler) with curly hair's hair to keep it from getting unruly. There are also many hair gel products out their for babies, and some of them are organic, and last time I checked Johnson&Johnson are not the only people that make baby products. I'm not saying that any of these were the case with this baby because I wasn't there, but because I wasn't there I also can't say that that wasn't the case either. This right here is an example of a hair gel that can be used on newborns: http://www.californiababy.com/calming-jelly-mousse-2-9-oz.html, so please calm down ma'm.

I think its cute, as long as they are not putting harmful chemicals in the babys hair, what's the big deal?

Thank you. People are always so quick to judge someone. I think it's cute. I would do something to my daughter's hair too. They probably used baby hair products to tame her fuzzy hair.

Kisha Douglas:

LOL..SMH!

To me personally that's cute as hell, and I mean it could have been the baby's picture day...I personally wouldn't have used gel..but to each his own....Reall though is this what the world is coming to...Letting your child look nice is a fail..r u serious? U r the weakest link goodbye.

Candice Wynter:
January 20, 2013 at 2:10 pm
Thank you. They did nothing wrong. I'm sure they used hair products made for babies. It's cute. I wish my mom did something to my hair. I have a fuzzy fro in my pictures. Now that's a fail! LOL!!

*that is if no harmful lotion or styling product was used...I'm guessing probably not considering how many products are available for children.

Candice Wynter:
January 20, 2013 at 2:22 pm
I bet they were adorable. I'm sure you love your girls and would never use a product that would cause side effects.

Heather Matlock:

October 21, 2012 at 4:35 am

It takes 2 fingers, a comb, and some hair lotion to create this style. It's called an S Curl. It was not harmful to the baby, there was no heat involved. Over exaggerating yall, seriously.

Shouldn't be putting chemicals in a baby's head like that...just wait until theyre older to put things like that on them. Just do other hairstyles that don't involve hair products. A babys head is sensitive....a parent should care enough to avoid problems.

Candice Wynter:
January 20, 2013 at 2:11 pm
They are hair products for babies. Baby formula isn't natural or healthy but most mother's feed their babies that crap. Now that's a parenting fail!
