5-Month Old's Hair Straightened; Pic Posted on FB.

Well, if this ain't the SMH/WTF of the week.

Some dummy, who had no business even holding a baby, reportedly has no clue that a child's skull isn't even completely hardened at 5 months, thought it would be cute to start her self-hatred from an early age and straighten her hair before she can even fully focus.

This is all kinds of ignorant. (Pic courtesy of Facebook.com)

From MadameNoire.com:

If you’re on Facebook long enough, you’re bound to find something to pique your interests, whether it’s ratchet, enlightening, inspirational or disturbing, something will catch your attention. And [recently] I just so happened to stumble upon a very disturbing image.

The picture, which was originally linked to a post on Green and Gorgeous , is that of a baby less than five months old, whose hair has been straightened. From the brief correspondence, we can’t tell whether this baby’s hair was relaxed, flat ironed or hot combed. But whatever method this parent used, the fact that he/she straightened a five month old’s hair, borders on a Child Protective Services violation. As Jennae Petersen of Green and Gorgeous mentioned:

… Relaxers. Freaking. Burn. I say this from years of experience that started when I was in third grade. And babies have tender, sensitive scalps, so I imagine that putting relaxer on an infant’s head for more than a minute or two would result in burning. Also? Hot combs. Freaking. Burn.
