Do you think we should wax the hair of our children on their heads, to make it easier to clean and prevent health conditions like lice infestation?

[Anonymous]

The hair serves absolutely no purpose, and cleaning it is very complicated. You need to buy shampoo, you might need to buy conditioner, and you need to apply the shampoo in wet hair, then rinse it, then apply shampoo again, then rinse it, then apply, conditioner, wait a bit, then rinse it!

Wouldn't it be so much easier if children's hair was waxed and they were bald? They would not remember a thing, they wouldn't miss it, and they would be 100% protected against lice, too! We cannot expect children to wash their hair regularly enough, so this course of action should be mandatory, like vaccination.

Yes, we should wax the hair of children for easier hygiene and preventing lice

No, children should have a choice when it comes to their own body

Other?

WAX? I'll pluck your entire body hair if you did that and then throw some after shave all over you! You cruel person!

a normal question should be "SHAVE" or CUT but not WAX!! wtf is wrong with you?
and yet the answer would still be NO! unless you have a serious infestation.. then yes "cut" it off..

[skullly]

and besides, what kind of bad parent would have a child full of lice? that's all on how dirty the parent is... you should never reproduce nor take care of kids.

[Asker]

eh. I had lice at some point, but we just used some fancy medicine that killed them all off.

[itsallover]

I have a feeling I know who this is..

[Asker]

well I don't know who you are, so eh

[itsallover]

You're the guy who's always on about circumcision.

｡:. ﾟヽ (´∀`｡) ﾉﾟ.:｡+ﾟ well I'm glad I'm popular ﾟ+｡:. ﾟヽ (*´∀`) ﾉﾟ.:｡+ﾟ

[itsallover]

Lol I appreciate your cause.

[Asker]

This question isn't popular enough, though - I might get it featured or something.

[gray_sailor]

Yes, of course.

Any body part that is even minimally inconvenient should be permanently removed from other people without their consent.

Obviously...

Even if you have to rationalize it after the fact.

It always for the best.

Always.

[Ulyss]

Yea then I'd use a permanent marker to do a squiggly line on his fore head that resembles Charlie Brown's

[Asker]

But that wouldn't be hair eiher

[Asker]

To grow that back, you would need a transplant.

[Aboredperson]

Wax? Wtf? I've had a wax on my lady parts once. It was the worst pain imaginable. I get my eyebrows waxed ad it's not too bad, but I ain't waxin' no babies heads!

[Asker]

To be honest, I would be concerned if I had no eyebrows.

[Aboredperson]

hahaha nooo I get them waxed into shape.

[Anonymous]

I definitely wouldn't wax it, that would hurt! Maybe try shaving it very closely?

[Red_Arrow]

Hmmm. Why do I see a user who begins his name with an M behind this?

[Asker]

Shhhhh

[Red_Arrow]

Of coujrse, the bonus question is the clincher!

[Asker]

... :p

[Reflexy]

Waxing hair would permanently damage the hair cells so they wouldn't grow back properly in the future. If you waxed a childs hair when they grew older they might have thinner or patchy hair. So the answer is no we should not wax children's hair.

[Asker]

Yes of course, that is the point. Easier cleaning and preventing life, at an age where they wouldn't remember the pain.

[Asker]

It's funny because circumcision permanently removes the foreskin, yet people claim that is totally normal :p

[Reflexy]

wait? circumcision is normal?

[Asker]

In certain regions of the USA people think it's "essential"

I am glad the Internet exists so we can tell them just how wrong they are

[Reflexy]

In the UK it's normal to be uncircumcised

[Asker]

Well, anywhere outside of the USA, and hard-core Muslim regions.

[Anonymous]

Lol, no. Why would you ask something like that?

[Asker]

[Opinion Owner]

Lol, no I didn't.

[Asker]

[Opinion Owner]

[Asker]
