The magnificent tresses of this five-year-old girl surpass even the most envy-inducing hairstyles, leaving you in awe of her hair’s sheer beauty and brilliance. Thanks to her luscious locks, little Mia Aflalo from Tel Aviv is fast becoming an Instagram sensation.
But that’s something that is dividing parents. With a following of more than 54,000, the tot’s Instagram feed often features her posing for the camera with some pretty amazing hairstyles. From bows made out of hair to the bounciest blow dry you’ve ever seen, there’s little doubt the five-year-old is total #hairgoals.
But while some fans are loving her jaw-dropping ‘dos, others have expressed concern about Mia being in the spotlight at such a young age. “Why would a mother put her child out there like this?” one Instagrammer commented.“Small girl dressed like a woman… strange parents,” added another.
“She looks like she is forced to do that shit stop doing it and let her play w barbies or smthing [sic] like that. She is not a doll,” another critic agreed. Others are concerned about the practicalities of some of Mia’s hair styles and whether the looks were achieved with hair extensions. Assuming it’s extensions because she has different amounts of hair in every pic) that’s not good for a little girls head/neck,” one user commented.
