As Blue Ivy’s hair grows it seems mom Beyonce is experimenting with different styles. Most recently the tot was seen rocking a headful of twists. Cute!
People get so mad about this child’s hair. Half the time these chicks don’t work so they got time to play in their daughters hair all day…yanking it out n guaranteeing there will be no edges left for future generations. She’s a baby. Why does she need her hair pulled into tight ass ponytails to please strangers? She doesn’t. People need to focus on what their own kids look like and learn.
I love to see this kid with her hair out and about. No need for twists, let her rock her lil fab fro lol. We need to stop worrying about her hair… She has all the expert hair care money can buy… and should her hair fail to flourish for some reason, mama has all the lacefronts under expert care lol. Stay fabulous Blue!
Do you know beyonce and jayz offstage when they are not entertaining? Where do you get your information about this family that justifies your to judgements and hate? Is it the media or do you actually know them personally?
You even hate their innocent child? You hate a baby? You must be miserable. No respectful, positive, compassionate, descent human being will ever say such a thing. This comment says a lot about you. I am sending all positive energy, prayers, love and light your way. You really need it. SMDH
Blah blah blah blah…you might not like it, but it’s her opinion. From the tone of your comment, I’d suggest you focus on yourself as opposed to putting someone else down because you do not like what they are saying.
Maybe Blue Ivy cries a lot when her hair is being combed and that is the reason they don’t comb it much. If so, I can understand it because some children are very tender-headed. I know I was as a child and Mother had a very heavy hand with the comb because the louder I cried the harder she pulled the comb through it.
I’m sorry but Blue Ivy’s Hair is a mess and who ever says it cute or nice is a liar straight from Hell. It’s such ashame that, her rich parents hair her looking like a rag a muffin all the time. Beyonce doesn’t walk around with her hair looking a hot mess, neither does Jay Z but they daughter looks a mess. What are they tryna make her into a boy!!! Get it together Jay Z and Beyonce because yah daughter hair is not right, and yah should be ashamed !!!
My hair is really thin when i get a blow out by the 5th day its greasy and sticking to my head. There is no volume and it really upsets me and i turn to sewin:( im not sure what to do to makr it fuller and last longer im 18 n haven’t had a perm since i was 13 i don’t wanna damage my hair anymore #helpme!!!!
I don’t see why Blu Ivy needs to be “presentable” as it is her parent who are doing shows and who are the celebrities. I love how free they seem to be with her… I honestly thought Bey and Jay was gonna have her deck up and out like the popular kids pics that you see on Instagram. Those did up kids looks so uncomfortable (yet cute) dressed like grown ups and Ivy looks so free and simple.
I understand that B n J are very busy people and in their down time they are tired. I just don’t care it takes only a few minutes to put a little grease on that baby head n with a quick comb or brush through she’ll look presentable. she can still rock the fro. that’s probably why the baby always look mad.
Ahhh, that’s probably not it but funny! I pray she doesn’t EVER see a damn bead! I wish I knew who told us black folks that braiding up our hair & then adding 6-12 loud, bright beads to EACH braid was cute or hair healthy! It was probably a Caucasian tho, lol!
I suddenly want some really long cornrows, with wood beads with Chinese characters written on them.

Pretty child but lets be real…Her hair looks a mess! You don’t have to use any chemicals, olive oil and coconut oil works fine with a good moisturizer! Look at Beyonce’s baby pics, her mama combed her hair. Instead of buying $40,000 Barbie dolls, she should hire little Blu a hair dresser.
Okaaaaaaay! I totally Agree Ikisha. Black mothers usually have their daughter’s hair LAID, but Beyonce needs to learn how to pick up a good hair brush and oil, that baby is already beautiful though.
The less you yank, pull on a child’s hair this young the better and stronger her hair will be later (which I am sure Bey’s mama knows since she has done hair like forever!
Pulling a child that is so you hair in to ponytails can damage the edges. ponytail bands can also take out hair.
Bottom line is maybe she is tender-headed or they are just letting her be a a child. She looks perfect!!
Black mothers who have their child”s hair “laid” usually don’t have kids with much hair or the sense to do anything else to it. Most of US dont know a “good hairbrush& oil” for our own heads. I am not a fan of Beyonce at all but this is the first thing she’s done that I can respect in a while! (not that she needs my respect, lol)
Unfortunately, if she stays in that blonded weaved up status she has been ordained to sell to the masses of young girls who adore her, when Blue Ivy gets older that’s probably what she’ll want too.
Bey little girl looks healthy, I know she is proud of that. So many of these black stars seems to have children with autism. Both look good and natural, Bey has on no makeup on and knees are ashy. This makes her look so real.
It looks like Beyonce keeps her so busy playing and having a good time.. I know my son looks straight faced when he is tired from a full day of play. When a child is busy playing all day, they a re cranky at the end of the day. lol
How many of us get dressed in our best to go out and blow bubbles with our children? smh! It takes all kinds of people to make the world go round, i guess! I applaud Beyonce(no, i am not one of her fans). This is a very busy woman yet she takes time out to be a mother and do normal things,like run and play with her child instead of allowind Blue to be raised by a truckload of caregivers only!! Give the negative comments a rest!! This was about the baby’s hair for crying out loud!!
so far blu ivy’s hair hasn’t been laid to perfection…. But I’m glad. I think we put to much significance on young girls hair. There are other things that matter for young girls.
Also, I’m glad that Blu Ivy will have edges when she grows up because her parents haven’t been slicking it back since the day she grew a hair.
love bey and the baby both are gorg…people talking z.abot beyonce looking bad….this is how working moms look as long as the baby on point she doing what she suppose to…smh
Follow the logic: I would never do ABC, therefore this person I only know by virtue of the success of their career should also not do ABC; and if they in fact choose to do XYZ instead then I am justified in insulting them and their choices.
Blue Ivy looks like Jay, and those cheeks are so fluffy and cute! For everyone making negative comments about Bey and/or Blue, well I think she’s too busy making millions of dollars and traveling to even care about what everyone else thinks.
I feel like Beyonce/Blue posts are purposefully inflammatory. The child’s hair is in baby twists and she’s just a little baby so it’s not worth commenting on. I don’t see why some are pressed about this family and their looks, hair, knee backs but to say that it’s only ‘a select few’ black people who are obsessed with trivial matters surrounding appearance is a nonsense. It’s clearly more than that.
well if we take your comment literally then that’d mean blue ivy oughta be wearing a weave since so far as we know mom would never step out the house without one lol
lol you must not have kids…it would be nice if a childs hair would stay as neat as when you first style it, especially in a protective style. but just like with us adults, that is just not the case.
Very cute twists. Blue does look kinda like her dad. I will say the nose hits it. I like those shorts and shoes she has on in the second oicture. Very street look.
The picture with the bubble shooter really shows that outside of the celebrity lifestyle… Beyonce is just a happy mom and Blue is just a typical toddler.
She’s no bigger than a size 6. I’ve seen her live more than once. A size 6 isn’t slim?
Try again fangurl, project much? I really really really hope you are not older than 16 going on the attack like a rabid dog over a stranger who does not give two shits about you. Lol
Until Beyonce shows signs of aging and morbidity, she has every right to show off her beautiful body and health. If dressing your age means dressing like you’ve been in menopause for the last 20 years, then I’m glad Beyonce doesn’t dress her age. She is has hardly lived half of her life. She is young and looks damn good on in those shorts. I’m sure the women complaining about shorts look horrible in shorts themselves. You probably haven’t attracted a man in years.
I wouldn’t say I look bad in a pair of shorts 🙂 I’m very big into working out actually. I would post a photo of myself but I’ve already done so in the “How I lost 50 pounds without going to the gym” article and I don’t want to be that person who constantly posts pictures of themselves. I’m just very much into modesty and growth. When I was a child, I thought as a child, acted as a child, dressed as a child (my variation on the Bible quote, yes). She is 32 years old. Why does she need to have her body exposed as she does? She is intelligent and powerful, but the fact that she focuses more on letting people see her body and not necessarily how intelligent she is in the business sense… says something. I’m saying this as a 25 year old, young professional with a career job. I’m not someones Grandmother who believes in muumuus. A woman can be beautiful and feminine without tiny shorts and their chest hanging out. I’m all for sexiness… but not when you’re with your toddler playing with bubbles.
I’ve never heard anyone say this about a man. People should dress however they like.
Different bodies. Different Standards. If men often walked around wearing tiny little shorts that were made to purposely show off their sexual organs, I’m sure more people would say something. It’s why when men wear speedos to the beach people tend to react lol
You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but I don’t think there is anything wrong with the way Beyonce is dressed. There is no magic number for which all women should dress in a particular manner. There are some women, like Tina Turner, for example who look fierce beyond their years. When deciding how to dress each woman must taken into account a number of factors including body type/appearance, occasion for which one is dressing (work, home, vacation, outing, etc), station in life, image she seeks to reflect, etc. Age is only one factor to be considered. Also, how you chose to dress is just that, your choice.
Blue Ivy is too cute. While I am no Beyonce fan, it must really be hard to have people constantly critique your family and your life as if they know you and follow you around instead of just Googling you on the internet.
Comments about Blue Ivy always remind me that black people still have a long ways to go in terms of self love and removing the shackles of oppression.
And comments like yours remind me there’ll always be someone quick to fix their lips to say something negative about black people based on the behavior of a very select few, talk about shackles.
Negative comments about natural hair from the black community are not “a very select few.” There are still too many stories about negative comments from strangers, friends, and family that begin with “when are you going to comb your hair,” “it would look better straightened,” “you’re brave for going natural.” Even from other naturals you can get flack for having hair that “looks dry” or “looks like it needs to be combed” (every post on Solange Knowles is like that). You can’t go to a hair salon without being worried the stylist is going to mix relaxer in the deep conditioner. And relaxers have been replaced by the “quest for the curl.” So no, it’s not a “very select few;” it just realizing that natural hair is still not fully accepted.
I agree! Black people were the ones saying negative comments about Gabby’s hair when she was making Olympic history. Black people say negative comments about baby Blue Ivy’s hair. Facts are facts. I know not all black people because am black and I have never said anything negative about their hair. However, I agree with Mai, it’s more than a select a few. And that’s just what it is.
Exactly, this issue with Gabby was so sad. How you go at such a young woman, who made history and instead of people being happy for her achievments, she gets critized for her hair?! Our hair is not supposed to be/look like caucasian people. Not Gabby should have dealt with it, the judgemental people should have dealt with it.
You are so right, its not a select few, probably “B” has relaxed hair. I live in the Caribbean and even people here always have something to say. I bc in January 2013 and my friends and even some family members were upset.
I agree with you, Mai. We are not a monolithic community. No one in my social circle criticized Beyonce’s child (and I wouldn’t associate myself with someone who would be so petty), and probability tells me that there are people in other circles who didn’t either.

i thought that was a boy but her hair is combed its better than the way its done now the bed comb her hair
People get so mad about this child’s hair.

Why does she need her hair pulled into tight ass ponytails to please strangers? She doesn’t. People need to focus on what their own kids look like and learn.
From the looks of everything, the only people that are getting mad are people that feels as you do.
I love to see this kid with her hair out and about. No need for twists, let her rock her lil fab fro lol. We need to stop worrying about her hair… She has all the expert hair care money can buy… and should her hair fail to flourish for some reason, mama has all the lacefronts under expert care lol. Stay fabulous Blue!
I just do not like Beyoncé or Jay Z. Both of them want to be WHITE. I remember when Whitney Houston, was younger then Beyoncé is now, about 22-25 and drug free she was touring Whitney visited, my school she was so beautiful I seen both Whitney and Beyoncé, Whitney is far more beautiful then Beyoncé and she loved being Black unlike Beyoncé. but the camera didn’t really pick up her true beauty I was about 8 years old Whitney spent the whole day at our school. She was so positive and up lifting. I don’t know how she end up with that man BB. But she was very thin, also she didn’t have a wig on either. I hope America can produce a star like Whitney when she was drug free and single. Not even BB called black people the N word. I hate all three of the Blue, Beyoncé Jayz.
Do you know beyonce and jayz offstage when they are not entertaining? Where do you get your information about this family that justifies your to judgements and hate? Is it the media or do you actually know them personally?

Lol, she can trash Jay, Bey AND their innocent child, but if someone calls that petty (which it is) than THEY are focused on the wrong thing.
What you are saying is inane.
They can at least put cute hair bands around her hair that would be cute with a fro
Maybe Blue Ivy cries a lot when her hair is being combed and that is the reason they don’t comb it much. If so, I can understand it because some children are very tender-headed.

Baby Blu not smiling cause she wants some hairbows, headbands or braids w/beads….lol

Autism doesn’t discriminate? Are you sure you don’t have Autism?
Ok it’s official. I have HEARD IT ALL. Right on Colalover. LMBO!!!
Blue Ivy is adorable. I don’t I’ve ever seen her smile though.
It looks like Beyonce keeps her so busy playing and having a good time.. I know my son looks straight faced when he is tired from a full day of play. When a child is busy playing all day, they a re cranky at the end of the day. lol
[img]https://bglh-marketplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/blu.jpg[/img]
This is a ridiculous story. Has anyone ever seen a child this age with a perm? Probably not so Beyoncé isn’t doing anything special. Is there nothing else to talk about?
Fuh-get Blue Ivy!!! Am I the only one looking at Beyonce’s thighs!?! On Point!!!!
Everybody’s looking at Blue’s hair and I’m just like “Look at Beyonce’s legs!”. Those things are nice and strong. Check out those quads.
Yea she finally got her problem area under control
She sure looks like her Daddy Jay-Z!! Cute!
Awww! Looking just like daddy! I like her little shoes!
I can’t believe that so far no one has accused Blue Ivy of only pretending to be natural! The hair Nazis must all be busy.
How many of us get dressed in our best to go out and blow bubbles with our children? smh! It takes all kinds of people to make the world go round, i guess! I applaud Beyonce(no, i am not one of her fans). This is a very busy woman yet she takes time out to be a mother and do normal things,like run and play with her child instead of allowind Blue to be raised by a truckload of caregivers only!!

I really must commend Bey, that’s a very good start 4 her baby’s hair nd I must say, they both look lovely
She is too adorable. She looks a lot like her dad. Lovely, baby. http://www.mzladyleedesigns.com
so far blu ivy’s hair hasn’t been laid to perfection…. But I’m glad. I think we put to much significance on young girls hair. There are other things that matter for young girls.

love bey and the baby both are gorg…people talking z.abot beyonce looking bad….this is how working moms look as long as the baby on point she doing what she suppose to…smh
Babies are cute. Babies in twists are extra cute!
Beyonce look a hot dry mess right here. Cute baby!
Love it! All of it! Blue ivy’s shoes!!!!! how cute is she!
I love Blue Ivy’s hair! She is so adorable. Do your thing, Beyonce.
Baby BlueIvy is rocking them twists like the sisters did in ancient times. I hope she doesn’t get permed up too quickly.
that little girl is too darn cute. Did you see the shoes? The Gucci Horsebits? Get it Girl! I love her little twists too.
That little girl is so freaking cute to me!!! Rock ur natural hair Blue!
Follow the logic: I would never do ABC, therefore this person I only know by virtue of the success of their career should also not do ABC; and if they in fact choose to do XYZ instead then I am justified in insulting them and their choices.
Blue Ivy looks like Jay, and those cheeks are so fluffy and cute! For everyone making negative comments about Bey and/or Blue, well I think she’s too busy making millions of dollars and traveling to even care about what everyone else thinks.
Oh my gosh! At first glance I thought it was a little boy!
You guys are on a roll today. I laughed so hard at all the comments. Thanks for starting my day off joyful.
I feel like Beyonce/Blue posts are purposefully inflammatory. The child’s hair is in baby twists and she’s just a little baby so it’s not worth commenting on. I don’t see why some are pressed about this family and their looks, hair, knee backs but to say that it’s only ‘a select few’ black people who are obsessed with trivial matters surrounding appearance is a nonsense. It’s clearly more than that.
It’s about time she did something with that baby’s hair.
cute indeed. But why are we “following” a baby’s hairstyle? How about other celebrity’s kids?
http://themanecaptain.blogspot.ca
I wish my thighs looked like that! Blue is adorable 🙂
I like and Bey looks cute.
http://ammamama.wordpress.com/
Can I get Beyonce’s thighs, though? Kthanks.
are you serious!?!? NO
All bad smh
Beyonce looking great as always. Little blue looks adorable! That baby can’t go wrong! 🙂
Kid looks more and more like Jay every passing day if Blue ends up looking like Jay’s supposed secret love child (and it looks like it)
[img]https://bglh-marketplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/ja.JPG[/img]
there will be no denying the paternity!
Who knew those pics would turn out to be a reality. She looks just like Jay-Z, except she has Beyonce’s nice arched eyebrows.
They’re both just as “cute” as Jay Z.
Jay Z is cute? lol
Her hair is great, but I’m feeling the shoes more.
Good lord cute baby,the twists are a bit scary and could be more neat,why wear a hair style on your child that you’d never wear yourself.
huh???
should she wear her a weave then? what’s your point????
No,I just said her twists are not neat-for some reason Beyonce doesn’t seem fussed how messy her childs hair is.
well if we take your comment literally then that’d mean blue ivy oughta be wearing a weave since so far as we know mom would never step out the house without one lol
lol you must not have kids…it would be nice if a childs hair would stay as neat as when you first style it, especially in a protective style. but just like with us adults, that is just not the case.
Very cute twists. Blue does look kinda like her dad. I will say the nose hits it. I like those shorts and shoes she has on in the second oicture. Very street look.
She looks just like her daddy lol, cute
The picture with the bubble shooter really shows that outside of the celebrity lifestyle… Beyonce is just a happy mom and Blue is just a typical toddler.
Beyonce haters of BGLH, rise! RISE!
the wizard of oz’s wicked witch comes to mind tee hee
And the boot lickers or should I say leotard riders rise up.
ok I will begin…Little Miss Blue Ivy looks just like her daddy…and Queen Bey needs some she butter on her knees…next
I didn’t even notice and you forgot to mention she’s pulling down on her panty-shorts. Can’t wait for this tacky trend to go away.
Let me guess,
You’re too overweight to wear shorts? Your legs are have cellulite? Don’t be mad. Just exercise.
sorry but Queen Bey needs to…um…NOT wear those pantyshorts…esp the 2nd pic…high and tight, ugh!
There’s nothing slim or cellulite free about Beyonce, so stop with the whole “jealous” thing.
She’s no bigger than a size 6. I’ve seen her live more than once. A size 6 isn’t slim?
Try again fangurl, project much? I really really really hope you are not older than 16 going on the attack like a rabid dog over a stranger who does not give two shits about you. Lol
Her shorts are MUCH too short, but mostly for her age and the fact that she is a mom (I wouldn’t want my nieces/nephews to see me in booty shorts with my boobies hanging out everywhere). Her outfits in both pictures are meant for teenagers. Not grown women with careers and a family. Nothing to do with the fact that she is Beyoncé. She just needs to dress her age.
Until Beyonce shows signs of aging and morbidity, she has every right to show off her beautiful body and health. If dressing your age means dressing like you’ve been in menopause for the last 20 years, then I’m glad Beyonce doesn’t dress her age. She is has hardly lived half of her life. She is young and looks damn good on in those shorts. I’m sure the women complaining about shorts look horrible in shorts themselves. You probably haven’t attracted a man in years.

The world does not begin and end with your social circle, my dear.
Beyonce looks gorgeous and Blue Ivy looks so much like Jay Z! Look at those cheeks!
get ready, let the comments begin!
