Don't you just love this?
I love this vintage-y picture with these little girls rocking their natural hair, cute little kid dresses (read: not grown woman attire disguised for little girls) and the saddle shoes and bobby socks. I just love that we are, fingers crossed, finally at a point where little girls can grow up to love and appreciate the natural hair that comes from their heads.

HairTroversy: Kids and Controversial Hairstyles
By Tenisha Mercer

After watching the story of the 6-year old who cut her hair off -- and some of the backlash that was later directed at her mom -- I wondered: Would you let your daughter cut her hair off? Dye it? Shave it one-sided?
Sure, hair grows back. But when it comes to black hair and little girls, that's as sacred as a cow as you are gonna get. You will get crucified when it comes to those topics; just look at Willow Smith and some of the comments she gets about her hair.
Without a doubt, we absolutely do project our hair perceptions onto our daughters. And often times, that means, telling them what to do with their hair -- whether that's slapping a relaxer in or not putting a relaxer in.
But, as easy as this may sound, hair does grow back. And, while this is definitely an age-old debate, what better time to experiment with hair than when they are young? It's not like they have a job where they can't wear purple hair. What's the worst that can happen?
Would you allow your daughter to cut her hair or do a "controversial" style?
