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.'

You know absolutely nothing about this woman, her child, their financial or educational circumstances - nothing.
‘Bad Hair’???
Good grief.
Eat ‘em with bagels.
It was meant as a sort of joke, but a 4 year old’s $150.00 hairstyle ruined by a teacher who redid her hair in a complicated manner is hard to categorize.
By the way how do you know they don’t predate your family in North America?
FUNNY WHAT ALL THAT FOOD STAMP $$$$$$$ CAN BUY.
The same ones who give a 5 year old a $1000 cell phone.
Brings back memories.

Time flies when you’re having fun.

it is when they pay for it with EBT cards
where did u see that in the article? Should I re- read it b/c I missed that info.
Or you know these people personally?
I’ll wait.
you seriously think everyone plays by the rules with EBT cards?
Awwweee that’s so cute
no , but you don’t know for sure either.
You don’t even know if she is an EBT recipient.
For all you know, this family makes more money than you do.
And there is no indication in this story that they use ‘EBT’ cards or any type of welfare.
People on FR used to have higher information processing skills and somewhat superior intellects. I don’t know what happened...
Look at the child’s name. Look at the hair and clothes. Look how no father appears in the story. I know all I need to know, and deep down, so do you
And yes it’s bad hair. African hair is notoriously hard to manage, breakable and hard to style. It lacks the strength and beauty of straight hair. Everyone knows this, black women most of all.
Her hair is no worse now. The money should be reimbursed.
The date of the family’s presence in the Americas is immaterial - their culture is not Western culture. Mine is. They are not of Western civilization. I am. And besides. they are only present here because your ancestors brought theirs over in chains. The date they arrived is a chance event bound in dishonour.
I think you’re a racist with a pitifully low-level intellect.
You sound like a foreigner or a person from immigrants that hates America.
I know she spent $150 for a 4 year-old’s hair. Really?
That’s her business, not yours. Unless she came by the money illegally - and we have no evidence of that - she can do what she likes with her money.
Just as you can.
You aren’t the moral arbiter of what the rest of us can do with our resources - and how a busy woman decides to manage her child’s hair is none of your business, either. (If the government tried to judge your financial life that way, you’d scream bloody hell.)
“You aren’t the moral arbiter of what the rest of us can do “
But apparently you think you are.
