Seriously?!?!

- Ashley on

Well… not my cup of tea but whatever floats their boat ;)

Angel has a very pretty face, she’s a doll!

- Andrea_momof2 on

Poor girl!! that haircut is so weird… not nice for a little girl as cute as Angel…

- Elisa on

Gawd, that little girl is too cute! Just wanna scoop her up and hug her! Aw!

- Ashley on

Why? Why would they cut off that baby’s hair like that? Such a pretty little girl. Hopefully it won’t take too long to grow back.

- Christina on

Why?

- Ivey on

Why why why why why??????? What on earth must they be thinking. She is a beautiful little girl and this is just absurd!

- Ashley on

Whatever. I can see giving a boy a mowhawk, but giving a girl one is not for me.

- Gingi on

Ummmm….who thought THAT would be a good idea? Looks more like a cry of attention from the parents than anything else. This little girl went from super cute to hot mess with the flick of an eletric shaver. Sadness. BTW, no I don’t mind it when parents give their kids funky hairstyles — but at least make them look good!

- Kaela on

WTF! Who would do that to a little girl!

- Breana on

What a ridiculous thing to do to your daughters hair, someone should do the same to Mel and see how she likes it, Angel is too young to approve of it !!

- irishmomma on

Maybe the mom should do that to her own hair if she likes it so much!! doubt it…..
very cute baby either way though!

- nan on

LOL! You guys crack me up. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but to me whatever a boy can do style-wise a girl can too, especially considering boys can have long hair or mohawks like kingston rossdale. I think she’s old enough and feminine enough that she wouldn’t ever be mistaken for a little boy. Her hairstyle reminds me a bit of grace jones. Love it!

- gaia's mom on

from the first picture, I would definitely guess she has personality to wear it…

- lina on

Maybe the girl wanted it. Some parents let their kids pick out their own clothes/hairstyles, regardless of whether it’s a hot mess or not. It’s just hair, it’ll grow back. It’s not like they gave the girl a tattoo or anything.

- canyr12 on

Angel looks perfectly happy to me.The only way she’ll feel like a “hot mess” instead of a normal little girl is if some oh so mature adults and their kids start making comments and criticizing her. There are not tears on her eyes or shame on her expression so let her be. I do not like the haircut but it’s just hair, not a tattoo on her nose.

- eva on

I actually think it looks cool.
My friends little sister got chewing gum completely knotted in her hair (both sides) when she was four. It went all the way to the scalp, her Mum was in bits, the hairdresser could not do much with it, and she ended up with something similar to this. She too had an afro, and the little girl loved it she kept on saying “I just got a party on the top!”
Hair grows back.

- Skipsie on

Man, I see ALL Eddie Murphy in that second pic.

- Brooke on

Maybe she had a little ‘accident’ with some scissors and they just had fun with it. 3/4 of my kids had some kind of haircutting incident lol.

- Summer on

Obviously I’m the minority, but I agree with Gaia’s mom! TOTALLY CUTE!! She has a very feminine face and it looks good on her! It reminds me of Rihanna’s new haircut. And besides, it’s only hair. It DOES grow back.

- Allie on

I love how almost nobody can even imagine that maybe the little girl WANTED the haircut.

It’s hair. It’ll grow. Not worth getting uptight about.

- lis on

Maybe the little girl likes Rhianna?

- Erin on

canyr12 -

As that may be true.

Does every parent do as their two year old ask???

I can just see little Angel asking, “hey ma I’d like a mohawk how about it”? And Mel goes, “well sure honey I guess, I mean if that’s what you want it’s your hair not mine!”

I def. have a feeling Angel didn’t decide this. And well I can’t be totally surprised as her mom’s a bit of a rock chick… to each their own I guess *shrugs*

yeah well

- JMO on

ok, the only explanation for that is if that girl got gum in her hair or had already cut it with scissors or something because that looks YUCKY.

- SH on

That ‘frohawk is so AfroPunk cute and that little girl looks so happy with hers! I love Angel already and she is dancing to the beat of her own drum (with or without Eddie). :)

- nettrice on

How much you want to bet she did that to get back at Eddie Murphy? Eddie must be pissed. LOL Poor thing. She is cutie though.

- Vero on

I used to babysit a little girl who screamed and screamed about hating her hair. She hated having it brushed, she hated having anything done with it, everything! She ended up getting a pair of scissors and cutting a huge chunk out of it, so her mum shaved it all off. She was the happiest little thing after that.

perhaps it’s a fashion thing, perhaps it’s a pain/trouble thing. Maybe the little girl just wanted her hair like that. Who cares. I think she looks cute. Girls don’t have to have long hair to be cute.

- Lilybett on

I think its terrible, Mel should perhaps try it herself then she’d see how it really is. That poor kid probably had no say in what her mother has done to her and I think Mel has no right to give her such an outlandish hairstyle at such a young age.

- Chloe on

I wonder if that was to piss Eddie Murphey off. Wow….

- Becky on

I’m with Skipsie.
When I was about 3 years old, I found a pair of scissors and gave myself a hair cut. It wasn’t a very good one, and my horrified mother took me to the beauty shop and had the rest of it cut, too.

- babymama on

I was just gonna suggest that maybe she got something stuck in her hair. I like the hairstyle, its spirited. It seems like they even let her wear makeup to complete the punk-rock look!

- Elzbieta on

Such silly, immature responses. The girl seems so happy in these pics and I’m happy for her. It’s her style…like it or love it!

- nettrice on

just curious, but did I miss something? I thought Eddie Murphy denied that Angel was his (even though the paternity test proved he was) and wanted nothing to do with her, so Mel’s husband was pretty much her father. If that’s the case, why would she do this to piss Eddie off? And just to cover my own butt, I really am curious if I missed a story somewhere, not trying to a smart-aleck.

- marimel on

Angel is 2…do you really think she actually cares what her hair looks like? I doubt shes going to wake up tomorrow crying when she looks at herself in the mirror. By the way, I think its cute and she rocks it!!! She looks like a happy little girl with an awesome personality. Let her be 2…before long she will grow up and have to deal with judgmental people!

- Nina on

“I think Mel has no right to give her such an outlandish hairstyle”

Actually Chloe, she does have every right- she’s the child’s mother.

And lol at all those posters who are horrified. We don’t know the circumstances. Like some have said, maybe she got gum in it or cut it. Besides, the girl totally rocks it.

It’s just hair.

- Sarah K. on

She’s an adorable child!! I wouldn’t do that type of hairstyle if I had a child! She’s a lil baby practically and shouldn’t be having a style like that. Too young! I don’t think at 2 yrs old she’d be the ONE asking for that cut. She wouldn’t even know about a style like that! Bet ya Scary Spice brewed that one up herself!

- Doreen on

What a terrible haircut.

If gum or something required it to be cut like that, that’s understandable, but for it to intentionally be cut like that, that’s ridiculous.

No two year old can ‘rock’ a hair cut. They just have to deal with it, while their parents multilateral their locks.
It looks awful.

- Cela on

Fair enough, her mum can do what she likes to her kid’s hair, and yeah she may have got gum in it or something,but I’m afraid all I can see is a mini Mr. T, sorry!

- kay on

You may not like it, and that’s fine. I like it and it looks like she likes it, too!

- katie on

wow ppl be HAPPY! its not your kid, if angel likes it thats all that matters.

- Tina on

“I think its terrible, Mel should perhaps try it herself then she’d see how it really is. That poor kid probably had no say in what her mother has done to her and I think Mel has no right to give her such an outlandish hairstyle at such a young age.”

lol you think a 2 year old sat still for that without being willing?? I hardly doubt it. Any two year old I know (and I know lots since I work at a daycare) who didn’t want that done, wouldn’t sit for three seconds to let it happen, and instead of two perfect lines there would be like 18 random chunks.

And

“Does every parent do as their two year old ask???”

If my child said “Mom, I’m just gonna wear a t-shirt in this sub-zero whether, is that ok?” I would say “get your coat on or we’re not going anywhere.” Because that would be unsafe. If my child said “Mom, I want to get my hair cut in a really odd way, is that ok?” I would say yes. There’s unsafe and there’s freedom of expression. Obviously a parent isn’t going to allow their child to do something completely foolish and unsafe. But there is NO harm WHATSOEVER in a haircut. So that’s far too broad a question to ask. You fight the battles that matter, not the ones that will grow back in no time.

I’d without a doubt let my child get a fun haircut if they wanted one. I personally think that Angel is rocking this hairstyle hardcore. She looks awesome. I’d let my child have that haircut in a heartbeat. I’ve always said if I have a little girl I’m gonna give her a fauxhawk sometimes if she’s ok with it. And if one say she was like, I want a mohawk I’d say sure thing. Letting kids do this kind of thing helps instill confidence in them and gives them pride in their choices. Who cares what other people think? It’s just hair people, get over it.

- jlm on

I like it.

- Renae on

In my opinion, it’s fine because she looks really happy. She’s just a little girl. Maybe she didn’t choose that haircut but she doesn’t seem too upset about it. So what’s the problem?

- Leyla on

I read somewhere she (Angel) wanted her hair like Rhianna’s (the singer), so her mom had it cut like that.

- Marilyn on

I think her hair is cute and very stylish…it goes with how cool her mother is.

No one would be complaining if this was Kingston…why is it such a big deal? Cus she’s a girl? I would even go so far as to say are people having issues with a mohawk because she’s not white? Its really rediculous…it’s just hair it will grow back but for now she’s rocking the cool haircut!!!!

- ericka on

I love her hair. She looks happy enough to me and if she hadn’t wanted it she wouldn’t have sat still and let them do it.

- Sky on

I would never ever do that to a kid who doesn’t really have their own opinion. Plus…I don’t think it looks very good…

- Brooklyn on

I thinks it’s super cute on her and probably is a lot cooler then having a head full of hair. It’s so hot in the San Fernando Valley(in LA county) everyday I want to chop it off.

- Whitney Sterk on

Thats quite a hairdo. Not exactly what I would choose for my daughter but if that makes Mel and Angel happy then more power to them. Angel is a real cutie.

- Elizabeth on

Maybe Angel wanted it like Daddy’s and this was Mommy’s compromise. It’s just a haircut; it will grow back. She is adorable no matter what her hair looks like. (I think the cut is super cute on her!)

- AJ on

Brooklyn: what two-year-old doesn’t have her own opinion?!?!?

- AJ on

I can’t imagine ever doing that to my little girl’s hair (or my son’s for that matter) but she seems happy and it’s only hair. Life would be no fun if we were all the same!

- Jessica on

i think it looks cute…and seriously what does it really matter…it shouldn’t matter to anyone here…IT’S NOT YOUR HAIR AND IT IS NOT YOUR CHILD, so who cares…there are seriously worse things that could the issue here…it’s hair and it will grow back

- gemini on

“Baby Scarey-Spice, Indeed!”

- Patti on

That is sad and disturbing. As previously noted, this reeks of a sick publicity stunt for attention seeking parents.

- christina on

YUCK!! Not a fan, but not my kid… At least she’s rockin’ it with a little sass in her step! ;)

- Jessica on

I disagree with all the nay-sayers. its hair, it will grow back, and this is obviously one very happy child. mel b went through a horrendous situation with this baby girl’s biological father and appears to have come through as confident, successful, loving mother. i applaud her.

- j on

I am so hoping that Angel was playing with some scissors and then Mama had to fix it and that this is result…I hope, I hope!

- Robin on

When has Mel B ever used her kids for the spotlight. For the most part when I see her she’s alone or walking with her kids minding her own.

I don’t see what’s so ‘yuck’ or outlandlish about this haircut…what exactly is so despicable about it? I can’t respect other peoples opinions but some of the comments are way over the top.

- gaia's mom on

in that second picture, her eyes are just amazing!

- momto boys on

I think she looks absolutely adorable and if anything, it brings out her cute elfin features!

Not only that, but it really will grow back. And people are taking pictures of Mel B with or without her daughters; I hardly think this is a “cry for attention.” All the woman needs to do is slap on a bikini, 5″ heels and head off to the Chateau Marmont and pictures will be taken…

- Jen DC on

Oh dear.

To each her own!

- Candace on

Who cares? There are alot worse things a parent can do that cut her child’s hair in something a little out there. It will grow back. Mel B rocked a mohawk during her Spice days, maybe she saw a photo and said “me too!”

- Mary-Helen on

I don’t like the haircut, but her face is so adorable.

As usual some of these comments are way over the top. How the heck is this about Eddie Murphy?? He has ZERO to do with Angel’s life, has never met her & isn’t her dad(in a way that counts). So really how is the hairdo any concern of his? Has no right to get mad about how Mel & Stephen raise the little girl until he steps up.

So I guess when Gwen & Angelina give their kids similar off the wall hairdo, they’re doing it for attention as well….

No one would be complaining if this was Kingston…

Actually, ericka, most commenters DID complain awhile back when Gwen and Gavin did something similar to Kingstons hair…

- SH on

Love it! She looks adorable!

- brannon on

I really don´t like the mohawk, but Angel is adorable.

- cat on

Whoa! Everyone is so quick to flip out! While I do not necessarily care for this hair cut, it’s hardly a big deal. It’s just hair, it will grow back!! I personally have never done anything extreme with my hair, but whenever my brother wanted to have a new style or a crazy colour, my mom let him do what he wanted, because like I said, IT WILL GROW BACK!!! And whether it was Angel’s idea or not (and frankly, I doubt it would be Mel B.’s idea to shave half her kid’s head) doesn’t matter. Angel is a beautiful little girl, and obviously she is happy with it!!

- Sarah on

I actually think her hair looks pretty cool.

- halifaxhoney on

It looks very cool and it will always grow back but I wouldn’t do this to my little girl because it’s too severe. I (personally) don’t like children with shaved heads at all, it would have looked better of they had just cornrolled the sides so it looks like she has a faux-hawk.

- Jessica on

I just have to LOL at the person bringing race into this. I’m sure it has nothing to do with her being black. You can’t deny that it’s not common that people shave their daughters hair into a mohawk at age 2.

- Andrea_momof2 on

Love her haircut. She definitely has the face for it.

- dee on

I have to say that I think it looks adorable…

My son who turned 2 started saying MOHAWK MOHAWK and rubbing his head. We showed him pictures of mohawks and he started sleeping with them and everyday he was begging for a PURPLE MOHAWK. So…needless to say he has a mohawk. He turned 2 in June and everymorning goes and gets his spiderman comb and his own bottle of gel and stands in front of me to do his hair. He’s a boy….I’m not sure what I would do if my daughter asked for one.

My girls have asked to get their hair colored or highlighted…we are waiting another year for that…but we have allowed them to use manic panic and have cool colors.

They are kids…kids don’t deserve to have people talk so mean about their hair. Its not your kids…not your hair…

Angel looks happy! Thats all that matters!

- Courtney on

Seriously people?? She’s a little girl, what’s with the nasty comments? There’s nothing more heartwarming than seeing a bunch of adults (and parents) criticising a little girl for something so trivial. That’s the perfect way to teach this child that something is wrong with her style, when in fact, there is nothing wrong with it.

I think Angel’s adorable, and look at that first picture – something tells me this child’s got a lot of spunk. For all we know she loves her hair; she sure looks happy. Honestly, her hair wasn’t the first thing I noticed. I immediately saw how happy she looks, strolling along with her dad and the rest of the family.

- alice jane on

Thats horrible, just horrible. Poor girl

- SoCalMama on

Angel is such an beautiful little girl and seems like she has spunk. I think her new do really looks sooo cute on her!!

- Thrifty Sisters Coupon Clipping Service on

I think her haircut is great! She looks absolutely adorable.

If your child can pull off a mohawk and wants one – go for it. Now’s the time to let them have that freedom before they get into adulthood and might have to conform a bit if in the business word.

Why is everyone so offended? Why woulnd’t you let your child have a purple mohawk if they wanted one? Are you more worried about what other people will say? I am not being sarcastic or rude – I am serious. I am really curious as to why this is so offensive to some of you. And just replying “because she’s a girl (or baby)” is not a reason. What about this fro-hawk is so offensive?

- michelle on

I should clarify that one of the reasons I am really interested is because this is a similar topic to what I am writing about in my thesis. I am writing about breaking down stereotypes and why people hold to to them as long as they do and how sometimes they are passed down from generation to generation without future generations even understanding why it is they discriminate. This is a very interesting topic to me.

- michelle on

I love it! This little girl looks over the moon about life.

It is hair. It will grow back. So trivia to project YOUR own style and feelings onto a 2 year old and her family. This is why children get complexes. If you let the child be happy and not judge it because it isn’t your thing, then there would be no issues. She will only think something is wrong IF you make her believe it is wrong.

There are worst things that could be happening. A hair cut is NOT IT.

- Tia on

Seriously who cares? It’s hair. Last time I checked a haircut was not permanent. Own it baby girl!

- unclelaverne on

I’m all for freedom of expression, but I highly doubt Angel herself asked for that hairstyle. If she did then I stand corrected. If not, Mel should shave her own head if she wants more attention. :)

- Erica on

…someone PLEASE tell me Mel didnt shave that poor girl’s head! Why are all these celebs doing it now?!

- Mina on

ericka- I doubt people are being so nasty because of Angel’s skin color, since nobody ever says a word when Maddox and Pax Jolie-Pitt sport funky hair-styles, and they’re both Asian. Obviously if it was a race thing, people would be nasty about them, too.

Anyway, I think Angel looks adorable, and I doubt we need to feel sorry for her. Look how happy she is in these photos. :)

- CelebBabyLover on

I honestly don’t find this style to be cute or at all flattering on her. I certainly don’t mind funky dos, but it should at least be something that doesn’t look like someone without much professional experience did it.

- Amber on

I think it’s awesome! It seems to match her spunky personality perfectly.

- Lorus on

A terrible haircut to give a little girl! Awful!

- Heather on

come on everyone…look at her sweet face in the first pic. she looks so happy and proud of her new haircut. Solange, rihanna, etc. are all shaving this summer, maybe they are her idols and wanted hair like theirs? who the heck cares. if she likes it…

- Stacey on

She’s such a beautiful child!!

- natz on

hehe she does look cute and is defo rockin that do! she’s got such a beautiful face. at first i was a bit like whatttt??? but its grown on me and thou i wouldnt do it, its gotta be easier to manage and its a whole lot cooler than the bob i had through childhood!

- amy on

What were they thinking? Obviously, they weren’t.

- Diane on

I think she’s look adorable, but I would still never cut my child’s hair like that. Oh well. It’s her child and it’s only hair. It isn’t that big a deal.

- Helena on

Such a beautiful girl :) ; but ridiculous hair-cut :(

- Sandra on

What’s with the panic, people? And especially the panic because she’s *dramatic pause* A GIRL *hears the screams of anguish*. Come on, it’s just HAIR! It grows back. I think it’s adorable and daring. She obviously likes it and she’s sweeter than candy. She’s a rockin little girl.

- Hea on

Who in their right mind would do this to a little child? It is just going to look bad on the parent you know? People are going to look at this beautiful little girl and go WTF? Why would a parent cut their girls hair like that? Thank goodness hair grows back. Wow, what were they thinking????

- Miranda on

If Mel cared what will people say she’d not be a celebrity…
besides, it is ONLY hair (as many of you pointed out), what’s the big deal….

- Angel_Eyes on

I find it odd that Mel didn’t do this to her own hair, or that of her older daughter. Poor baby.

- Chris on

Not a fan but after seeing some of these comments I have to agree I highly doubt a 2 year old would allow this if she didn’t want it!

Ericka – WHY??? Seriously? Bringing race into it? COME ON!

- Diana on

Would you do that to your child? Me thinks no.

- Vanessa on

Well it’s certainly not my cup of tea but who knows the story behind it.

It may have been Mel’s choice, it may have been sonething they needed to do to cover up a chewing gum/scissors accident. Does it matter?

- ellen on

Oh, IMO it looks horrible. Just horrible. I’m sure there was a reason for it, but I can’t even begin to imagine what that might have been, or how strong it was. This actually shocked me.

- Alex on

She seems so happy in the first picture!! I bet she loves her haircut. She looks a lot like Melanie to me, and I think also resembles the actress Raven Symone!

- Jane on

I don’t think there are a whole lot of 2 year olds out there who give a darn what their hair looks like. I highly doubt the reason she’s so happy in these pics is just b/c of her new hair. If it were cut like a girl’s, I bet she would still be just as happy, KWIM? That’s just her personality it seems. I can’t help but wonder if Mel B liked the cut, and put it on the baby b/c she knows the baby doen’t care how it looks. For what it’s worth, I’m not trying to baby bash here- I think Rihanna and the others doing this now look completely ridiculous too.

- Shannon on

Shannon, you must be of the young texting generation! KWIM- had no idea what that meant!

- Jane on

Celebrities are so bizarre.

- Lis on

Too funny. She can totally pull it off. She looks very cute. A little fashionista she is.

- jen on

I gotta say though, I don’t think mohican cuts suit children at all, it’s not a girl vs boy thing, at least not with me.

- Alex on

Whatever happened to if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all?!? She’s just a little girl and it’s just a haircut. It’s not like it’s going to ruin her life. Quite frankly, it’s not even our business.

- AJ on

Why would they do that to that poor girl? It’s not cute.

- Sarah on

But at the same time AJ, why aren’t some allowed to say politely that they don’t care for this cut. Some are scolding other for their opinions as if to say that you are only allowed to like the cut or else keep your mouth shut. How is that fair? Yeah it’s hair and it grows back but why is it so horrible that some don’t like the cut and comment on that?

It IS a surprising haircut, lets be honest here.

- J on

Aww…she looks pretty happy to me. Let her be…do what you want to do with your own child’s hair.

- Michelle on

Angel is a gorgeous little girl, but that haircut looks ridiculous!

- Eliza on

OMG ….no comment.

- sil on

That is completely ridiculous…why would anyone do that to their little beautiful baby girl…she can do whatever she wants with her baby but damn that makes me irritated!!!

- Daisy on

ditto, aj. why is this anyone’s business? as long as children are happy, healthy, and loved, who cares about the what/why of a simple haircut.

seriously, people. it’s a two year old’s haircut. build a bridge and get over it.

- babymama on

I think it is dreadful, but…it’s just hair, she’s just a baby, it will grow back and even one day she will be old enough to do what she wants with her own hair. Though I really don’t like it either…there are so many more serious things in the world!

- em on

115 comments over a childs haircut! well, if mel was looking for a reaction by doing it than she certainly got it!

i see nothing wrong here. my child has leukemia and has no hair at all, i would never comment on another childs hairstyle.

- french gigi on

OH MY GOD.
POOR GIRL.
THATS ALL.

=(

- Mariel on

“J”….i agree with you completely as you said exactly what i was thinking!! If you express an opinion on here that you honestly don’t like something or disagree with a choice you are accused of “flipping out” or “panicking”. I think most would agree the baby is adorable and while some don’t mind the haircut, others are stating it’s not for them. We don’t need to be reminded that hair grows back – of course it will!!

- nan on

What a precious little girl. She is beautiful and seems so happy!!

- Angel on

I’m one of the minority because I really think this is being blown way, way out of proportion. You wouldn’t think twice about shaving a boy’s hair so why not a girl’s? But than again, I’m all for breaking down gender sterotypes.

Who cares what her hair looks like? Some people are just never satisfied. The comments on CBB have gotten more and more judgemental and critical in the last 18 months or so. Angelina won’t dress her kids in colour, Katie always has Suri in dresses, etc, etc. It’s too much!

It’s just hair, it’s just clothes! Angel seems to be a happy, confident little girl. She has a family that loves her, a roof over her head and food in her belly which is a hell of a lot more than some children can say. I rather think that in the grand scheme of things, her hairstyle is of the least importance.

- Amanda on

These are pictures you look back at when you are older and want to slap your parents for. One word…FUGLY!

- Lisa on

I think it’s not very nice, as she looks like a boy but then again my son has the traditional long hair of a french boy and I think he looks gorgeous even though people sometimes mistake him for a girl. As long she’s happy and healthy, that’s all matters really.

- babyboopie on

THATS TRUE Lisa
i will NEVER do that to my little girl
honestly i wont

- Mariel on

She looks happy and quirky. The style is unexpected and crazed and looks adorable. Mohawks really freak people out, to be sure. But look at her! She looks independent and thrilled and animated. Kingston’s mohawk is not as flattering, and despite his clothes and hair, that child is older than Angel yet is often carried, strolled, pacified, and seems more of a demure kid. ANGEL has more charisma than any of the adults!

- crimpe on

Even if Angel asked for the hairdo, since when do we allow 2 year olds to make those types of decisions. My 11 year old boy asked for a mohawk, and I told him absolutely not. Especially since I am paying for it.
She’s a cute little girl, and I hope that she had an unfortunate accident. If this was done on purpose, her mother should be ashamed. I don’t care about this notion of girls and boys can rock the same ‘do.
By the way, she’s cute as pie.

- mochababe73 on

I say to each their own. Angel looks like she is enjoying all the attention. Look at that cheeky grin. Hair is hair, and grows back quickly. She has a lot of hair for her age. I had no hair until 18months. I live in South Africa and the majority of black people will shave their babies heads on a regular basis. Even in the indian culture here they shave their baby’s head on a certain day after they are born. So if people are allowed to do these things for religious reasons, why not for fun too.

- Tracy on

I don’t understand why everyone on this site that posts comments is so conservative.

IT’S HAIR! Who cares? And mohawks are awesome. When you tell your kid no over and over again, they’re just going to act out later in life and do what they want because they’re free from your bad parenting. People, your child is it’s OWN person, NOT an extension of you and your wants. So if you don’t like a mohawk, who cares, maybe your kid does. Let a child express themselves however they want. If my daughter wanted her hair cut like that, you can bet I would let her.

Some of the moms on here just make me sick to my stomach. It’s not 1950.

- Robyn on

I would ABSOLUTELY do this to my little girl’s hair…as well as mine. ‘frohawks are in. Just ask Rhianna and Cassie.

My head was shaved at around 2-3 (cultural traditions). My mom says I didn’t care. I always had really short hair. With two sisters having really long hair, my mom wanted one of us to have a short cut. I think she looks happy, so who cares? It’ll grow back…. sheesh!

Lisa- I think we ALL have at least one of those pictures! :)

I can’t help but wonder if perhaps Angel happened to attempt to cut her own hair, and this was the best that could be done to fix the situation. I know that with a cut this extreme, it might seem like a stretch, but who knows ? My little girl is 3, and in the space of 60 seconds while I answered the door, she managed to use safety scissors to hack off the whole front of her hair, giving herself “bangs” which looks like a mullet ! No fixing THAT, but it made me wonder if there was more going on than we know about !

Has anyone though maybe her afro hair was a bit heavy in the hot weather & this haircut made her feel cooler.
She is 2 years old & a child starts expressing themselves at this age so maybe she did ask for the haircut & Mel let her have it.
It suits Angel so well as she looks a feminine toddler so she can get away with having a haircut like that.

Okay, I don’t like it at all and think it looks kind of like baby Mr. T, but she’s not my kid, and really – who cares? It’s hair. It grows back. She’s two. It’s not like she’s in elementary school where other kids will be making fun of her. At least Mel didn’t subject her to bleaches and dyes like some other kids.

Wow, what rude comments. You don’t have to like the child’s hair. I don’t happen to like the long hair on boys that some celebrities favor, but it’s not my kid either. Stop judging Mel as a bad mother because you don’t like her daughter’s hair. It’s just mean and petty.

EWE…I do not like at all.

I got no problem with the mohawk, but I think it could’ve been done more tastefully, maybe they could’ve trimmed the top low or left a little hair on the sides or made it into a faux-hawk or … something.

- Nina on

Whoa. Her mom went all out when she decided to give Angel a mohawk. Nothing faux about it.

Not my cup of tea, but hey, Angel is so sweet and that smile just melts me. She can make a person forget anything out of the ordinary with that smile.:D

Has it occurred to anyone that maybe the little girl got hold of some scissors or clippers and cut her own hair and this was the best they could do to shape it up?

- Elle on

i agree with a previous comment i don’t think any of you guys would do this to your daughter especially if you even think this is cute. also i doubt that a 2 year old would know who rihanna is even if her mom was like scary let alone get a haircut like her’s.
