Great Article about natural hair care for children that was written by a student at Columbia University. The article is called "Parents Divided on Using Hair Relaxers on Young Black Girls" written by
Erline Andrews.

Excerpt from article: "Michael Bernstein, a Beverly Hills trichologist, is unequivocal in his opposition to relaxers, particularly on children. He points to the risk not only of permanent hair loss but allergic reactions and visual impairment if the chemical trickles into the eyes. “I don’t discourage people from doing anything . . . except straightening,” Bernstein said."
