One dad on Reddit was sure he had done the right thing when he got his biracial daughter a haircut after his ex tried to do a home relaxer.
. Understandably, the girl was left in tears -- but when her dad took her to the salon to try and fix the damage, it was strangely The dad recently took to Reddit to explain the whole ordeal, sharing that his daughter had actually been begging to get her hair relaxed for a while.His daughter, who he refers to as"Gem," has"tightly coiled hair" , but he was hesitant to let her get it relaxed.
When all was said and done, Gem was"happy and quite ecstatic about how her hair turned out," he shared. "What I don't understand is what the ex EXPECTED him to do," one commenter wrote."She wanted him to just send her to school the way she dropped her off? With her hair falling out? She knew she [expletive] it up but she didn't want anyone to change it?"
In a later comment, the dad did jump in to clarify that his ex"knows how to do black hair to a certain extent" -- but she had no business trying to do a chemical relaxer. "Your ex should have told you before and you likewise about the haircut," one person commented."But you saved your daughter's hair from probably being a fried/melted matted mess of badly done chemical straightening.
"Children deserve a bit of bodily autonomy, too," the person reasoned."It really doesn't matter what her reasons are. Have you never changed your style because there was a new trend or a comment made? Your ex sucks too, for obviously reasons. I hope ya'll didn't have that argument within earshot of her."
