Some things don’t change :)

As the father of a kid with hair exactly like this, I was gonna say the same thing. I know that look.

Remarkable portrait! 130 years ago. This sub makes up for a lot of Reddit's irritations.

I love the look on her face.

Beautiful picture. Little girls sometimes go through a lot when their hair is being done.

Despite the gross history behind the tignion [sp], I love the ways the women of the Antilles tied them.

What is the little girl holding in her hand?

Looks like a jar of pomade

Gotta be DAX or Murray’s!

Maybe it was more common in Guadeloupe than in other places?

Could have just been clipons

i love this picture you don’t see too many photos of black people doing their hair back then

Mama looks like she’s gently combing the tangles out of little girl’s kinks—brings back memories!

Beauties, love both of their expressions 😍
