Black Girl With Long Hair
Willow Smith is always changing up her look. Recently the petite 11-year-old was spotted at the Cannes Film Festival rocking a rust colored fade. I gotta say, I think it’s kind of cute. Ladies, what are your thought? Would you try this color? (More pictures below.)

I just love how Mommy is holding her baby in every picture! I’m 18 and my momma still does that to me. Wrist or back – every time lol
I like Willow’s spirit and I think she should continue her quest for individuality but the bald head and color wouldn’t work for me.
She’s a cutie and can pull it off, BRAVO WILLIOW!
Wanted to share this gem from Will. I think he gets to the heart of the matter:
We let Willow cut her hair. When you have a little girl, it’s like how can you teach her that you’re in control of her body? If I teach her that I’m in charge of whether or not she can touch her hair, she’s going to replace me with some other man when she goes out in the world. She can’t cut my hair but that’s her hair. She has got to have command of her body. So when she goes out into the world, she’s going out with a command that it is hers. She is used to making those decisions herself. We try to keep giving them those decisions until they can hold the full weight of their lives.
–Will Smith
Look it up, it’s on Nicole Bitchie.
Anyway, no one can convince me they’re bad parents. If anything they’re very perceptive of what it’s like to be a woman of color in this world. Being able to own your own body is not something many people realize until they’re adults. It’s good to start this process early so you don’t feel your body is the property of other people.
And honestly people it’s just hair!! It is a part of her body she should most certainly have control over. It’s a model for her having autonomy over her entire self. B/c she is in control of herself she can probably avoid many hapless encounters with men AND women who seek to control her body. This is very important.
+1000 Thanks for this.
I think she is a great little girl, but this cutting and dyeing of hair at a young age reminds me too much of beauty pagents and I definitely don’t believe in beauty pagents except if you’re 14 or older. That way you at least know what you’re getting into and you’re not a little kid getting dressed up to look like a grown up. Creepy.. I just want Willow to be a kid while she still is a kid. I think a lot of parents think some beauty regiments are a way of freedom, but they have to realize that some regiments give kids the idea that they’re grown. I’m just saying I wouldn’t do it.

Very well adjusted pre-teen indeed! =)
Everyone is getting on my last nerves up in here…..lol I don’t care for it because coloring is damaging. And she ain’t my child. I gotta do what I feel is best for mine…who knows how this child will end up. Just gotta wait and see. But we ALL know children need and want boundaries. If Jada and Will don’t apply none, that’s on them. Lord knows they ain’t taking no advice from anyone on here…lol good or bad. NEXT!
Sorry, but there is no way I’m allowing my kid to cut off all of her hair. She can cut off her hair when she’s older. LOL! And as for her education, she did say she didn’t have much time for school/studies because of her career. It also sounded to me like she wanted to go school and have a music career, but she doesn’t have time. I think she’s a beautiful girl, but it seems to me like Jada and Will are letting Willow grow a little to fast. I just don’t believe in a young girl cutting off all of her hair, dyeing it, and/or putting weave in it. To me that is for a older girl. The only way I’d say a young girl can get weave is if she has hair problems, other than that -no.
willo is so pretty she has a private tutor who teaches her. education is very improtant says jada. she doesnt need help. am happy to see someone who has thier own style and doesnt give a f..k wat anyone tinks. willow is so pretty and she could be rihann’s little sister. in some way she has the same style as rihanna: hair,clothes and the i don’t give a f..k attitude. jus like me lol.
Yuck, no! I don’t think the color or fade does anything for her at all. Definite turn-off for me. As someone else commented, perhaps on an adult.
“Parents” today *sigh* She can express herself age appropriately, it’s no wonder so many kids today are maladjusted and barely make it out of teen-hood; they are never told no as children, fast forward to their teenage years & it’s “FML!” b/c they can’t deal w/ everyday strife and minor rejection.
Really? I thought it was because of poverty, racism, sexism, depression, a bad economy and barely there parents.
But I’m pretty sure hair dye is up there. Let’s ask the U.S. Census next time they come around.
Great comprehension there, that’s EXACTLY what was said.
So what part of her seems maladjusted. This is a post about her hair. If she has some inner strife only you would know, please enlighten the rest of us. You said can’t deal with rejection, I can only assume you’re talking about the hair color. Which makes everything I said completely valid.
It’s only hair. It grows back. I know shocking, but it does. You can quit clutching your pearls now.
I do understand that it is good to express yourself. However children are called children because they need to reach a level or growth. They need to develop mentally and physically. They are persons of their own,but they cannot fully make an informed decision unless they mature to a certain level. Willow’s hair is beautiful, however, being 11 years old, her priorities should be slightly different. I read a comment about not judging people you do not know but the truth is that everyone is judged by their own actions. Your actions are a reflection of who you are. As for Willow being an entertainer, I would have to disagree at this point. Entertainment is all she has known or grown up with, she needs to experience many things before we can begin to see an accuracy in her decisions. Children should be free to express themselves, but with certain limits. They are there for us to shape into responsible adults.
To each its own. It is up to her parents how she wears her hair. Personally if my daughter asked me could she shave her hair, me and my husband would say no way. I dont know why we are discussing a child and their hairstyle. Some time this site can be way off.
I LOVE HER FADE and the rust looks good on her; but I couldn’t rock either. I would do pink hair though.
Can I just ask how some people are coming to the conclusion that Will and Jada are bad parents. How does this picture tell someone that Will and Jada are or are not raising their children to be upstanding citizens? How does this picture tell someone that Will and Jada are or are not cultivating a positive character for their children? How does this picture tell someone that Will and Jada are or are not raising their children to be selfless and giving human beings? You may not like what they are wearing but this picture does nothing to determine their parenting. There are many parents that allow their children to choose their own clothes so that they can express themselves; Will and Jada won’t be the first or the last parents to do so. There isn’t one right way to be a good parent.
there is no such thing as a child in hollywood aparently…….did anyone notice how hungry jada’s chest and face looks???????????????
Does anyone else think Jada had plastic surgery or is it just me? Her face looks so tight and her cheeks are looking a bit too plump for her face.
That whole look, looks freakish on her…sorry
Thx u.. Because, both of them look like hobos.. Love jade but sometime being free can be too free..
I TOTALLY agree with you. It DOES look freakish & completely RIDICULOUS!
I am I hating if I say, Jada needs to dress her age?
I am sorry but I wouldn’t go anywhere w/ my Mom if she was dressed like that.
And I am hating on Willow b/c I wasn’t free at 11, 15 or 17.lol
I admire the fact that at such a young age she has the confidence to rock this hairdo. When I was her age I was obsessed with straight hair and getting more length; in the process my hair got quite damaged. I had to cut my hair, not as short as hers, and I was devastated. She is obviously not a slave to her locks.
In many schools in Africa, all the girls have their hair short and that’s by force! It’s just hair. It will grow back (if she wants it to). I think she looks great.
She looks sensational! Love this little girl! BTW what’s with all the trolls today?
LOL!
Wish I was as brave, confident and bold as Willow! I dig it!
If I still colored my hair, perhaps….not a bad color at all and of course, if used as highlights even better (at least for me and my age).
As far a Willow, I just adore this little girl and I am so pleased that she has parents who allow her to respectfully express her creativity. Bravo Will and Jada!! IMO, Willow’s lack of conformity simply illustrates a generous amount of confidence, creativity, and intelligence!
I totally support kids being kids and trying new things. It looks like tons of fun, and that’s great. But I do have to say that I’m disappointed with Will and Jada’s parenting. I think they’ve drunken too much of the hollywood kool-aid.
I grew up in LA, and I had friends that were child actors then, and are successful actors, musicians, etc….today. (I won’t call out any names, but they are names you know – and, no, they aren’t black.)
We went to some top flight private schools, and each of them went on to graduate, and go to excellent colleges – some finished, some didn’t, but they ALL got a GREAT education. Will and Jada have dropped the education ball with their kids – and that’s a huge mistake. It’s a shame that black folks get so much success, then don’t pass on the tools of power to their kids. Say what you want about all their money – but the way they’ve failed to educate those kids, all their money will be gone in less than 2 generations. What was it all for? Sorry folks, but white folk keep money for generations and generations because they give their kids the tools to manage it beyond shuckin’ and jivin’ for the cameras.
And if you think I’m full of it – look at Natalie Portman, Emma Watson and other young female stars who went on to get an education and STILL managed to work in the movies. Why don’t black folks take the lesson? Being rich and stupid is just a pit stop on the way to broke and stupid. Without a good education, agents, publicists, accountants, lawyers, etc….will rob those kids blind. Believe that.
I thought will and jada were smarter than that. I guess not.
Wait… has she quit school??
There are lots of actors that go out and get that degree…But, just like some of us focus on getting our kids that six figure sport contract… Will and Jade are doing it, too… Will, has made enough money that his kids will get a degree in art or something were they wouldn’t break a sweat or lose sleep worry about the bills not getting paid.. #Silverplatter…
Well, that’s exactly my point. Of all the rich kids I grew up with, their parents made sure they had the education to REMAIN rich. The could follow the money, etc… not just bank on the presumption that it’ll always be there.
And re: the sports contract. Look into how many sports stars are broke w/in 10 years of leaving the league. It’s incredible stuff. Mark my words. Their money won’t last 3 generations. And that, black people, is a waste.
Shaq got his PhD once he retired…and that puts a wrench in your theory.
She told reporters that she doesn’t really go to school because she’s too busy doing other things. I never heard that from Dakota Fanning (in fact, I KNOW where she went to school) and the like.
How do you know she doesn’t have a private tutor that travels with her to teach her school? How do you know that she doesn’t like learning or education? I think it is a leap to assume because we see her in the public eye from time to time or the girl drops a video that some how that means she couldn’t also be getting an education. They have a lot of money and resources available to them I don’t think we have the first clue about what is available to Willow. Additionally, Will Smith attended private school and Jada attended a school for the arts in Baltimore. Do you somehow think that they wouldn’t see school as important when it has been vital for their own success? It is wrong to pass judgement without information or facts.
She publicly said so a little while ago. Doesn’t anyone remember that?
LoL. I know right. Kids of celebrity parents are generally home schooled or have a tutor because their parents can afford it. How do people know this picture isn’t taken on a Saturday or Sunday when Willow doesn’t have school. On top of that, it’s the middle of May, she may be out of school for the summer. I have no idea where people are coming up with these conclusions that Will and Jada aren’t raising their kids. That’s the problem with some of these comments – they don’t know everything about a person’s life so they decide to piece in with assumptions and guesses with knowing the facts.
And the comment about how black people don’t know what to do with their money is ridiculous. Denzel Washington send his son to UPenn, and the Obamas have their kids in private school. Don’t base one person’s actions on an entire race. And just because Natalie Portman and Emma Watson went to school, doesn’t mean every other white actor goes either. And there are plenty of white people that have lost their money (i.e. how many white people win the lottery, spend it on everything, and end up bankrupt in five years. And how many women from the Real Housewives series are living beyond their means and have their houses taken.)
I think it’s much easier for Willow to do these things because she can set the standard because of her status. Let any normal everyday chick do this, I don’t think they will get many compliments. I like the color. Her parents are cool with it so do your thing, Willow!
I would count myself proud and lucky to have a daughter half as confident as Willow Smith. She’s defining what beauty is for herself…at 11!! When most kids want to look like everyone else, she’s striking out on her own. I LOVE IT! I think the Smiths have done a great job with their children, and shame on you haters for judging otherwise.
I am ashamed at you grown adults cheering on this foolishness. Obviously will and jada have sacrificed this child to some unseen entity. Why else would you let a preteen literally run wild, with no guidelines? Who does she belong to? Who oversees her decisions? I agree that it is a cry for help.
You mad that she had more self confidence as an 11 year old than you do now? Sure sounds like it.
It actually looks better than what I thought it would when I read the words “rust colored”.Willow looks cute with that style, but I gotta be honest, I am partial to black hair.I think it is the most beautiful color when it comes to hair and I am satisfied with my dark tresses.I’ll pass.
Willow Smith is too cool! Her mother should be proud, raising such a confident daughter who hsa realised her own beauty and isn’t afraid to express herself, at an age when most just decide to conform.
There are enough 11 year olds running around with weaves, so if she want to rock a colored TWA noting wrong with that.
+1
‘Amen’ to that! =)
Uh-oh! She might become taller than her mom! lol
she looks silly. Im very ashamed that jada and will did such a terrible job on their kids. With their fame and wealth they could have put their kids in the best schools. they could of been engineers or doctors. Now they want to be entertainers and nothing more. Willow cutting her hair is a cry for help, she is not happy whatsoever and it shows. She is screaming for attention and is about to be let down big time because she is not marketable. she looks like a misfit child and when she comes to the reality that she doesnt have sex appeal or cutness like hanna montana, she will be devistated. jada and will. horrible parents while blacks think they are a super couple smh
I don’t understand why people feel the need to pass judgement on people they don’t know. While people will always differ in opinion the fact of the matter is Willow is an entertainer and it’s part of her career to be flashy and unique in an industry where Hollywood has determined the standard of beauty for too long. It’s likely that having parents who are entertainers mainly influenced her decision to follow in their footsteps but by no means does that mean she is unhappy or crying for help by cutting and coloring her hair OR that the Smith’s ‘did a terrible job on their kids’. How dare you say such demeaning things about people YOU DO NOT KNOW. Everyone doesn’t want or need to go to Ivy League schools or look mainstream with long flowing blonde hair down their back signed into a Disney contract to be sucessful or have ANY kind of sex appeal at the age of 11!!! Have you not seen how many of those so-called ‘marketable’ children are unhappy now? Please think before you speak and end up speaking to the wrong person.
Willow’s individuality is rare and it is so refreshing to see a young girl take the step to cutting her hair! I think it’s awesome she doesn’t feel that it makes her boyish and then that pop of color is rockin’! 😀 This isn’t the end of the train, just the beginning of exciting things to come for this pint-sized star.
im tired of yall judge not,oh why are u judging crap.if u re truely a christian and u read ya bible u will no God allows us to judge our fellow sister or brother.but first we have to make sure we are clean first.God has given us da power to judge da body of christ.soo many so called christians are hiding uder judge not dat u shall be judge thing.if they do somthing wrong and u say it.dey go like why are u judging?.we will all know how dis small girl’s life will end if she doesnt repent.esp da parent.look at how da world messed up whitney.God is coming very soon and we all need to repent before it too late.da number one tool da devil is using to get da youth of today is music.we shall all watchout and never cease to pray.glory to God in the highest.
HAIL SATAN!! Sorry, just had to say that. Seriously, what does god have to do with a little girl coloring her hair? Yeesh.
LOL srsly… people can dye their hair and experiment with clothing + self presentation without being on a one way trip to hell. smh @ africanbeauty at her limited and repressed worldview. sorry for you booboo.
Well, if you read the bible it does tell us to be modest in are appearance… Its not judging if this what the bible is directing our steps.. Ijs.. Its Willow world but she is attacking it @ a young age and wouldn’t have anything to look forward to doing when she gets older.. That’s the whole thing about life.. You saying to yourself when I get older I will do this or that… If you take that away and give your kids everything, now. Then there minds start to wondered into badness.. It may not but I am just saying…
So, because the bible says people should dress modestly, it gives you a right to judge a person who isn’t? Judging is wrong point blank, period. And what gives you the right to assume she will burn out by the time she is grown. It’s one thing to comment on her clothes, but her life and family is just plain rude and disrespectful. Get off your high horse, no one is perfect and everyone sins.
What is “modest in are appearance” mean? Specifically? I don’t remember “don’t die or color your hair” in the bible. I just want a refresher. Also who says that you are “clean” enough to judge her? Did someone make a judgement about you to determine that or is that just a self determination. What does “clean” even mean?
I agree you should be modest in your appearance but does being modest mean you should conform. Additionally, yes you don’t want your kidss to grow up to fast. However, you have to look at things from every perspective. Long life is not promised and if your kids want to do something that is not detrimental to them or others. Why should we supress them? I truly believe this. I mean for those who want to think about it. Jesus was a rebel in his time. What if he had conformed to what the world said? Where would those that believe be? He dealt with folks that he knew would betray him and he dealt with people that no one else in that society would fool with…
I am guilty as everyone else that posted. We just need to let the girl do her thing and not make such a big deal. So no more posting on this one
Lmao. I seriously had to reread her comment 4x because I could barely understand her writing. I was thinking well why is she saying we shouldn’t judge her then retracting to say the devil is in youth music. Oh lord, I must be old because this text typing is tripping me out and I’m only 22. Can we get a Google translate for comments like those please?
I know exactly the Bible passage africanbeauty references, and where it applies to Christians holding each other accountable, she is correct. It is in one of Apostle Paul’s letters to the Corinthians.
However, that same passage points out that God Himself judges those who are “outside”. Since we do not know where the Smiths stand—and given their lifestyle, it is very likely, though not guaranteed, that they are “outside”—I believe it would be more correct for any who are Christians to pray for them, as we ought to do for the salvation of all Outsiders, and otherwise to simply answer the question asked by the presenter of the article, which, if I remember correctly, was whether or not we liked Willow’s rusty-colored hair and whether or not we would rock it.
My own answers are that I have no objection to the color, and I have gotten a similar effect to my own hair color by using henna; but I would hesitate long and long to allow my daughter to have her hair that short, and it would be either dire necessity or circumstances beyond my control that would result in me having my own hair that short.
My baby and I rockin’ a bright hot pink….the above pic is “raspberry”

you are an awesome mom. i wish my mother would’ve let me express myself and experiment when i was a kid.
Vickie
That picture is adorable. I love it.
Very cute picture.
Awww =)
My daughter has had at least 15 different color combos in her hair and she isn’t even 10 yet!!! WHY? Because SHE IS A KID!! I want her to enjoy her childhood because as adults, MOST of us have to “conform” and have a more conservative look.
[img]https://bglh-marketplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/pinklocs-1.jpg[/img]
and you’re damaging your child’s hair by putting all those colors/chemicals in it. She’ll be bald by age 20, god forbid. One thing I can’t stand is uneducated parents that let their kid do whatever without understanding the consequences.
ffs,
I’m sorry, it’s sounds like you prefer she gets a relaxer, like MOST black kids her age?
FFS, I hate it when people talk over others– concern-trolling at the what not. It’s just hair. It’s probably a semi/demi because they don’t have those colors as permanents. But no continue.
The real question is would she rock this do if she were a regular everyday 11 year old…like the 11 year olds with ponytails and braids at my son’s elementary school? I supposed because of her celebrity lifestyle and parents, yeah, it’s cool on her. If it were my 11 year old….NOPE!
This absolutely blows my mind!! I grew up in a very conservative family and I did not grow my hair until I was 15. I literally had hair like hers all through my childhood because I had a very sensitive scalp and broke out in boils on my head if my hair was pulled tight. I absolutly hate it that people think what makes you a girl are ponytails and braids, for what ever reason she wants her hair short ITS HER BUSINESS!!! Having short hair does not make her a bad child or a bad example. When I was her age I would have coloured my hair too (if my parents had let me) and I can promise you I wouldn’t have ended up bad. When I was 12 my family went on holiday to Nigeria and there were so many girls there with short hair and that was absolutely normal and for the first time I didn’t feel judged. Remember its just freaking hair!! And yes regular everyday 11 yr olds can have short hair and they don’t need people like you judging them.
In other countries it is required for young girls to cut their hair short for school.
I like her hair a lot. It is cute for her and she has plenty time to grow it out if she wants. I used to wear this color on my fade cut. I really liked it.
I see lots of little girls of other ethnic groups cutting their hair short when they are young. Why do we give folks so much flack for cutting their hair?
It seems a big chop is okay if it is part of a natural journey to the longest hair you ever had. What is the big chop is just another journey – a journey to self acceptance with kinky, coily, colored, long, or straight hair? Is it bad to not covet long hair? Is it a crime for a young girl to experiment and start the journey to self discovery and acceptance at a young age.
I don’t know if I would let my child be as drastic. But I think it is time to let children be creative and learn things instead of being disciplinary tyrants. Yes, I am rambling..that’s my M. O. Don’t judge me. 🙂 What are your thoughts?
I agree with you concerning the coveting long hair. Long is the new straight! I’ve been thinking about cutting mine in a sassy asymmetrical almost bald on one side cut but I’m already getting flack about it from friends and relatives. They ask why would you cut all your hair? My answer, ’cause it’s just hair!!!!
I am torn, too… I think she a skinny, cute girl but and everyone is not daring enough to wear some of things she does… Ok, maybe that fact she had a outspoken, free spirit mother helps… I personally feel the hair cut is cute, but she is wayyyy, too skinny to be rocking the short, shorts and long socks with boots… Not your cutiest look.. Willow…
Well, I think your comment is away, way out of line. Whether or not she is skinny she can wear what she wants. She’s a kid and little girls tend to be skinny. Heck, I was as skinny as her at that age. Still am, and I wear short shorts too!
*way
Exactly. & she’s skinny because she probably hasn’t gone through puberty too. She’s a preteen. Geez at that age I looked like a lollipop head. & her parents didn’t start getting bigger until they were older. Remember when they were on the Fresh Prince? Very small. She’s a little girl and I feel like she needs to be exempt from all these negative comments from adults. Its silly.
Ok, and this is why girl dress like they do.. Because you have women like your selves who think its cute when they wear short short showing everything @ a young age… No I don’t feel she should be covered from head to toe in blk long dress.. Just like you said she is a child and should dress as a young child.. Her mother is living her fashion life through her. I have a daugher and I don’t let her wear clothing that I felt was to grown.. She understand why I don’t because I work in a facility were men are in jail because they are pick up young girl who dress like there older women.. Times have change… What you wear as a child she not wearing.
+1
It still feels like people are justifying crimes and ridicule of children. Personally I like her style. I don’t see anything “adult” about it. She’s a fucking kid. It’s not like she’s naked. Even if she was when was your state of dress ever an invitation to be raped? Babies wear even less than her during the summer but I would hope people know not to rape fucking babies!
Personally I think she’s channeling her mom who had a really cool fade in the 90’s. I like that she can be free to be her own person without people constantly badgering her for not being “ladylike” enough. I think she will definitely be a force to be reckoned with when she becomes an adult.
Personally I think this kind of exposure for the Smith kids isn’t necessarily bad. They’re going to be able to better handle themselves as adults in celeb culture b/c their parents were guiding them from a young age. And I like that for now they don’t have many limitations. I mean, not too many black stars get the opportunity these kids get so it makes me feel happy for them.
She it just a child with her own style. I think that it’s cute on her and it seems that her parents have a strong hold on their children and teaching them how to behave, have manners because I have had enough of seeing children of privilege run a muck and are drug taking, alcohol drinking butt heads and feel that they are above the law because of who their parents are or their family has money. It seems like they are keeping their children grounded and focused. Because Jada’s step-son and she never says, my step-son,is a good athlete and student.
i wore my hair low for years but never colored it. i’m not a color fan. if i got a bunch of grays i think i’d just throw some indigo or something in it.
willow’s free as a bird. bless her heart. i don’t hate on little girls. and i try not to hate on big ones too.
🙂
I love it! I think its important to teach our children to express themselves in a positive way.

+100 I hate how people are quick to jump down her throat for being young and having drastic things done to her hair when most (not all) of us were rocking relaxers when we were younger than she is. I love it. I think it looks hot and I love her style.
Ase sister !!!!! clean positive natural fun !!!
It’s not a color that I have not tried, but I must say Willow is a brave little girl to be rocking a fade could never do that
I dont like it. She looks like a boy & the color makes her appear much older. Nothing against Willow personally, but she has never been the least bit attractive to me. She has always had a very ODD look.
“Nothing against Willow personally, but she has never been the least bit attractive to me. She has always had a very ODD look.”
Please remember that this is a child and, as such, she’s still growing. Children are all limbs at this stage. Your comments are more appropriate for an adult. Thanks.
Yes you would say that BUT this “child” does not act like a child. She doesn’t look like a child either. Her parents have her doing what she wants like an adult so she is to be treated as such. There is nothing wrong with what tee said.
Regardless of how she acts and what her parents let her do, she remains a child. An adult cannot direct prejudice at a child without appearing misguided or immature. In the end, it’s really that family’s business how they raise their children. We can pass judgment all we want but I doubt that they are going to let public opinion sway their decisions.
Funny, I didn’t know acting like an adult automatically made you one. I guess that’s how it works now…
And thus, those who childish comments about the appearances of others should be treated like coddled infants?
Im glad you said that cause i was thinking the same thing “acting like an adult classifies you as one” smh if that were the case alot of sex crimes could be debated
You just said a mouthful. when you go down a slippery slope of what a child should act like, you open the door for those who justify crimes against children.
i am genuinely confused about the judgement that Willow does not act like a child. She dresses like a child, she has never conducted herself in a lewd manner nor does she appear “fresh” or disrespectful. She is always seen with a chaperon or one of her parents. I would hate to think that this child judged harshly because of some hair dye. Her hair cut is adorable and her use of color is expressive and creative. We the general public knows not how this child is being raised but from any thinking person assessment, it is evident she is happy well adjusted and very talented.
blessing to all
p.s. lets look for the positive in all things Ase
I whole heartedly agree. Willow dresses “differently” but she still dresses like a child. Now I haven’t seen EVERY picture of Willow, but when I do, she does not dress provocatively with skimpy clothes and tons of make-up. The most I’ve seen is her playing around with her hair and different articles of clothing. While I may not like everything she wears, it’s still age appropriate. I mean, who didn’t wear crazy clothes as a kid trying to experiment or express ourselves. Besides, this is not at all reflective of the way she is being raised. None of us live with the Smith’s to see first hand how Will and Jada are raising their child. I honestly don’t see why it’s such a big deal. This is just my opinion and I do respect the opinions of others, but at the same time, I do think it’s wrong to bash a child. No matter how she may dress or act, she is still a kid.
*dressed sorry :0)
Hold the phone. Allowing a child to express themselves artistically does not make them an adult, it makes them a child who is comfortable with their self. I was eleven when my mother allowed me to get extra holes pierced in my ears, wear shoulder brushing earrings, wear holey jeans SnP style, etc and I’ve never been on the pole or the back of a squad car. Now, I’m not a big fan of her style, but it’s hers. She’s not doing a mini-Britney Spears naughty girl thing where grown men are counting down to her 18th birthday. Or hitting up clubs, doing drugs (Drew Barrymore, anyone?). You know how many girls look and appear to act age-appropriate but are secretly on some lowdown stuff because their parents aren’t involved in their life? Or how many girls are coerced into being something they’re not or holding back who they are because of opinions like the one you expressed? Let this child be the child she is and you go on being the adult you are.
Well said!!
She is literally the coolest pre-pubescent human.
right
wrong.
Uh, I had this color for years. Well…mine was more coppery. I’m currently sporting a more muted coppery brown auburn.
I think it looks cute on her! That girl has her own style and isn’t afraid to conforming to beauty standards or expectations of others or the media. I could never rock a fade myself, but I applaud her for being so daring with her hair and style.
I like the color. I don’t think I would rock a fade, though.
^^I agree.
I’m so torn! Ok I will keep this to her hair. Yes I would try it. But I just gotta say this…I would try it, because I am an adult lol.
