Braids, beads, and weave

OK, so the big question about how young is too young for weave has entered my head a few times and I can proudly and confidently say through my own personal experience that the answer is..... based soley on one's personal preference. I think as a parent, guardian, or caretaker, it is left to a person's own disgression as to whether or not they even choose to put weave in their child's head much less at what age. At present, Tamia is 2 1/2 yrs old and she began wearing weave at the age of one for two reasons 1: She pulled out her hair if there was nothing to protect is (and she still does) and 2: it allowed for more versitile hairstyles being that because she was a hair puller, she didn't have much to work with. I LOVE fixing and coming up with children hairstlyes and for that reason, I made that decision. I do however understand that some people don't agree with my decision and that's fine, people have the right to do with their children as they please. As for Tamia, she will continue to wear very appropriate hairstyles with weave since I am the one who combs and styles her hair but make no mistakes about it, she wears her natural hair as well and even moreso than weave and she is very happy either way, she just loves the end results if she can shake it! :)
