A mother has slammed her daughter's teacher for combing her locs out of her hair without permission and replacing them with braids.
Micaela Varlack, from Columbus, Georgia, claimed four-year-old Londyn was left with painful inflammation following the bizarre incident.
She said she and her daughter got their hair braided professionally at a salon for $150 three weeks earlier.
But she told how when she picked Londyn up from pre-k at Childare Network on May 6 she was shocked by what the teacher had allegedly done.
'Monday, on May the 6th, I go to pick her up from the daycare,' she said. 'There's a little child who looks like my child with her hair braided.'
'Why would you comb out 32 locs out of a child's hair, to sit down and braid them, part them...'
When Varlack asked the teacher why she didn't call her first, she said her response was simply, 'I just didn't.'
Victoria Sunmola, a hairstylist specializing in locs, said Londyn's teacher 'went overboard' and didn't consider the effect of tampering with a hairstyle like hers.
'It's very disrespectful because she did not have the parent's permission to do it,' Sunmola said.
'The mother spent money on this service, and she crossed the line...more than anything it wasn't her place.'

Unless it’s OUR welfare / SNAP / EBT / etc money. Which is not unlikely.
“Wash and go.”
Where does the washing part come in. I admit having scant knowledge in this sort of thing, but sounds to me like the girl’s hair hadn’t been washed for three weeks. The pre-school woman probably felt sorry for her.

I didn’t think you can wash braids. That’s why people with those long term hair styles are always poking and scratching their head.
Or a boy…
If she owes you money then you can gripe. Otherwise it is hers to spend.
( I don’t think it’s any govt money)
Gov. DeWine in Ohio? this was in Georgia.
Still not OP’s beeswax how anyone spends their $$.
Alot of time on their hands to worry what other people do.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/loc Allegedly a variant spelling of locks. It's "a narrow ropelike strand of hair formed by matting, braiding, or twisting"
Black women with blonde hair — Yuck. But, for some reason, they generally have the most beautiful teeth to behold.
From the article:
“’On Monday, May 6, a currently enrolled child asked a teacher to braid her hair.
‘After speaking with her mother at pick-up, our staff immediately offered to reimburse the family.”
Fake outrage.
Seems the child ASKED to have her hair redone.
How long did it take the teacher to re-braid the girl’s hair? It looks like quite labor intensive.
Ooops!
“She said she and her daughter got their hair braided professionally at a salon for $150 three weeks earlier.”
It is so good to see my tax dollars to single Mom’s being used to help lift them from poverty, and save money on shampoo.
THREE WEEKS ago ???
Time the childs head/hair was washed...
They wash them.
“From what I see with $200 pedicures, $300 nails, $250 hair dos...it’s usually people that dont have a pot to piss in.”
I was sitting in the mall watching a black woman with a passel of kids scurrying around as she had a shop employee rub her face down with what looked like dental floss. The guy sitting next to me and wearing the same uniform as the employee said, “That’s a welfare momma paying $150 bucks for a skin beauty treatment.” He sounded disgusted.
I noticed the employees were all white and the customers were all black women with small children.
Of course you can wash them; and people do. They probably have more access to the scalp than people normally do when shampooing.
What I don’t understand is what a teacher was doing spending so much time on a kid’s hair -taking them out and re-braiding them? . Wasn’t she supposed to be *teaching*?
Yeah, that sounds like a real life-threatening emergency worthy of a 911 call for an ALS provider to respond with lights and sirens.
