Styling black children's hair can be a dilemma. Some parents are often left wondering what hair maintenance would be best. Should you press and curl, relax, add extensions, or remain au naturel? The decisions you make today, could have serious consequences later on. So choose wisely.

Should You Relax Your Child's Hair?

B. Fletcher, author of Why Are Black Women Losing Their Hair. Small World. (Unity Publishing, 2000), says a mature head of hair does not begin until puberty. Therefore, relaxing a toddler's hair is futile and will cause undesired results from dryness, breakage, and even scalp burns. Many parents opt to relax or texturize ( a milder form of relaxing) their children's hair at a too young age. Understandably, this is done for the sake of manageability. But the desire to have silky, straight, and manageable hair often results in damage and scalp burns that may cause permanent scarring to the child's hairline.

Let's face it, no one wants her little princess growing up with missing hair – so do not relax your child's hair before the adolescent or preteen age. If you do opt to relax early, have a professional perform the services. Nevertheless, this can be an expensive decision and does not guarantee that the hair will be at its optimal health.
