As an adult, you're within your rights to get just about any kind of hairstyle you want. Braid it up, loc it up, relax it, get a weave. Whatever makes you happy, go for it. But what about when you're a kid?

I've asked the question before, and I must ask it again: How young is too young for a certain kind of hairstyle? I ask, because this clip from popular TLC reality show 'Toddlers and Tiaras' -- via Clutch Magazine -- left me feeling all kinds of disturbed.

It's summer and your hair is doing its best to handle the weather. But with that heat and humidity, your hair might as well ask you -- what have you done for me lately?

If you aren't taking the time out to show your hair love with weekly deep conditioning treatments, I gotta ask why not?

Make it a Sunday thing, your Sunday beauty ritual, if you will. And your hair will be happy, healthy looking and good to you.

There are great deep0conditioning hair treatments available for every texture, at every price point. Allow us to break down some of our favorites and restore life to your tresses.

They measure 19 feet, 6 inches long. When dry, they weigh four pounds. When wet, at least 10 pounds. Asha Mandela has the longest dreadlocks in the world, making her an official Guinness World Record holder.

For Asha, it's more than just a hairstyle. It is a way of life and an expression of self.

"When I started growing my locks, I suddenly became very overprotective of them, as I felt they beheld all my energy, wisdom, knowledge and understanding and my over all strength. So I twisted, groomed and maintained them for myself... to the present," she explained in a recent e-mail interview.

Caring for hair of that length requires a lot of time, and a LOT of products. Check out how many bottles of shampoo she uses to wash her hair!

With heat advisories and record temperatures across the country, it's hard to go anywhere without looking like a melted, frizzy mess. The humidity in the summer air causes the cuticles in our hair to expand, which results in the frizz effect we all love to hate. Thankfully, there are a ton of hair products for every hair type that can help fight the summer humidity. Check out some of Black Voices' favorites.

When singer Cassie first shaved her head a year ago, no one could have imagined the phenomenon the style would become. Countless celebrities have jumped on the shaved-head bandwagon, including young Willow Smith. But if you think Willow -- who is no stranger to eclectic style -- was inspired by the likes of Cassie, La La Vazquez or Melanie Brown, you're wrong. Jada Pinkett Smith hit up the 'George Lopez Show' recently and revealed the shocking inspiration behind her daughter's wild haircut – her grandmother!

Black Voices was live at the 2010 Essence Music Festvial in New Orleans -- a celebration of black women, food, music, empowerment and creativity.

Of course, with more than 200,000 women coming through the convention center during the three-day weekend, there were enough hairstyles to fill up a few hair magazines. Sisters were doing it up!

As the summer season rolls around, you can expect to see warmer weather and brighter colors. And I'm not just talking about clothes -- I'm talking hair! Celebrities like Keri Hilson and Raven-Symone have added new shades to their tresses, and if you're thinking about doing the same, there are some things you might want to think about beforehand.

Coloring your hair is a great way to switch up your 'do, but if it isn't done properly, it can damage your locks. Few women think about the products they put in their hair these days, which is why salon hair color brand Wella Professionals has embarked on a mission to educate women on hair color with its Hair Discovery Tour. The tour, which launched last week in New York City, gives those who attend free hair color consultations 25 percent off Wella hair services at a participating salon.

Black Voices caught up with celebrity hair colorist Aura Freidman -- who has worked with the likes of Lady GaGa and M.I.A. -- at last week's event to discuss alternatives to permanent hair coloring, her take on box dyes and tips for black women who dye their hair.

Naomi Campbell does not come across as cuddly or approachable. She's beautiful and fierce. I'm thinking the people around her hesitate to mention the obvious, so I'll take a shot.

Naomi, it's time to leave the weaves be and let your hairline live. When I caught sight of these photos on the gossip blog Miss Jia of Campbell at a New York City photo shoot on Monday, my heart went out to her poor scalp. It doesn't deserve this kind of abuse!
