Would you ever do this?

My friend is telling me that she straightened her 2 year olds hair with GHD's.

Now i personally wouldnt be using any heat styling tools on my child being the same age.
My DD is biracial and has very tight curls and yes she would look really adorable with straight hair but no way would i ever even try to straighten her hair at this age.

Im just wondering what you guys think? Am i overeacting and is the normal thing to do in this day and age?

no way! My dd now 6 had lots of curls when she was that age and there is no way I would of even thought of doing such a thing. Also children of that age don't sit still, it could be so easy to burn their face or neck with them, those GHD staightners get very hot!

Thats what i thought.
I was speachless when she told me.
I didnt want to say anything as its not really my place to but i was thinking

I have done DD 8 as well - her hair is neither curly or straight so she can have it straightened for a school disco or party !

2 is maybe a bit young

 

[carolfoy]

at two the hair is not fully developed, its very weak and still quite 'fluffy' I think its a daft thing to do, why would you risk your childs hair burning and breaking?

two years of age! As if they'd care!

WHY would you want to do that to a 2yr old. daft.not to mention dangerous, we all know how fast little one can move.

 

[jen_uk]

No, 2 is way too young!! She will be putting makeup on her 2 year old next!

 

[thelittlemermaid83]

I can understand straightening your childs hair when they are old enough to ask and to understand but to a child as young as 2 imo is just wrong.

As Chilly said its not as if they care aout hair straigtening.
I think some people want there children to be older than what they are so dress them up to look older etc.
My DD wouldnt even notice if she was dressed in a bigbag with a flannel on her head lol
Thats just my opinion.

Hell No, No No No No No!

 

[mandymouse]

No way would I do that

 

[Snowy-girls]

No way,my daughters are 6 and 3.I don't even do that on my 6 year old let alone my 3 year old.That childs hair will be ruined+brittle,it's not even good for an adults hair(continuous usage)let alone a tot.x.

What are GHD's?

Hair Straightners

Hair Straightners

I see, not something I have much use for!

 

[DisneyJo]

I have curled my DD's hair a couple of times when they've asked but they were at least 7/8 not 2

 

[fizz13]

I think cara was 6 nearly 7 the first time i did it for her and that was for a birthday party, it is a special treat for her now she is 8 1/2, so shes had it maybe 4 times in total, 2 is way too young to risk, can you imagine if she moved suddenly and caught her ears?!

Yet another totally irresponsible parent. Just because the parent thinks it would 'look nice' doesn't mean it should be done, what is going through their mind
