My friend's sister wants to braid her 13-month old daughter's hair, %26amp; she wanted me to ask on here to make sure it's OK. I've seen 11-month old babies with their hair braided to the scalp, but I think I remember they started to go bald on the sides.

My son is 8 months old and gets his hair cornrowed all the time. He doesn't scream or cry, and I don't pull it too tight, but it looks nice and neat. I think if the child will sit still and not put up too much of a fight then it's ok. Micro-braids I think should wait a few years, well really, any braids where fake hair has to be added. But just little box braids or cornrows, I don't see the big issue.

Please don't do this to her! I work in a daycare and 2 of our babies have had this done. Both mom's said the babies screamed for 4 hours straight. This seems like old fashioned torture to me and should be considered some sort of abuse! Now if you can do it without her screaming and crying then I guess go for it..but don't make her sit through hours for torture please!
