Should I let my lil girl have em too???

Ok so I asked you guys if dreads would look good on me,,,and Now my 5 year old daughter cheyanne wants to get them too,,,,What do you guys all think,,,Should a five year old be able to have dreads??? Think they'd look cute ??

 

if she really really wants them. I caved after my DD (who turns five tomorrow) had been asking for a year!

 

her hair will definitely lock, but just realize - they're not always comfortable. sometimes they pull. you know that feeling when it seems that just one tiny string of hair is pulling? sometimes it feels like that. they can also get quite heavy. but hey, cut em out if they bother her. she'll look beautiful regardless.

 

Thank You ,,,,Both of you,,,, ,and youre babies are adorable too mamaboogie

 

Do it, it would look really good! Little ones with dreads are awesome!

 

if she really does want them, do them up i think she would be adorable!

and mama boogie, your little chickies are the absolute cutest!

 

Oh Yes,Yes,yes!
This kid is gona have the coolest dreads!Just look how freaking awsome is her hair,i wish mine is like that!

 

If that's what she wants, then I'd do it for her.
Just let her know backcombing is NOT comfortable. WHen I got mine started I have to say it hurt. let her know it will hurt for a while so there are no surprises. I am a big fan of letting kids express themselves like this.

 

she is just beautiful. if she really wants them, let her have them. she's gorgeous!

 

yeah, definitely explain to her the process of backcombing (if that's your angle). I kept asking DD if she still wanted dreads after I started backcombing, just to be sure. All the backcombing fell out before her hair started to knot up good anyway, kinda wish I'd just let it go natural.

 

IMHO, | think she would be a ton off better without locks. But if she wants them, |would just figure it's her hair. So, yeah! Go ahead!

 

Omg mamaboogie thats the cutest picture of your lil ones,,, I'd blow that one up and frame it,,soooooo adorable,,,,,,, My daughter still wants them,, and now she wants them to be Pink,,,, She asks me everyday now,, for Pink dreadlocks,,,lol,,,

 

yeh, J wants yellow dreads.... but mostly that's because I dyed my hair purple last fall (it's sorta faded to dark pink now). We've made it past four months now, and her hair is finally knotting up good and tight. It's messy as hell. But it's finally becoming dreadlocks! We started with about thirty little ponytails. And then I started backcombing them, one at a time. Took a month to get them all done, and then they all came loose and I started backcombing some more but it did no good. Now, then, four months later, she has lost about half the length of her hair, some locks seem to have lost 2/3 the original length, and she has some for-real dreads going on!!

 

Yeah she probably wants them pink since its her fave color and she sees me with my bright purple hair,lol,,, but its so hard not to cave,,, i think im gonna let her get em soon ,, when she gets out of school for summer vacation if she still wants them,,, i m not mentioning them to her to see if the idea is just a phase or if she really honestly wants her hair in dreads,,,

 

man. that's going to be adorable. i wish my momma let me have dreads

 

i just have to say ur babies are GORGEOUS!!! ur little cheyanne would be precious no matter with or without the dreads. so y not go for it!

 

awww thanx,

 

I think dreads would be BEAUTIFUL on her, but either way, she is adorable!
