'Oh Please, Comb the Child's Hair': Jeannie Mai's Followers Criticize Her Daughter's Hair

Jeannie Mai's daughter, Monaco Mai-Jenkins, is a greatly appreciated sight for many fans who were delighted when her face was revealed five months after her birth. However, some fans now take a different stance, criticizing Jeannie for the one-year-old's appearance.

Actress and TV personality Jeanie Mai, famously known as one of "The Real" talk show's co-hosts, visited Instagram several hours ago. The TV star shared a photo and two videos of herself having a cute mother moment with her toddler, Monaco Mai-Jenkins.

The first slide shows Monaco laughing as her mother captures a photo of her. She was dressed in a white Balmain T-shirt, a denim skirt, and a black jacket. Jeannie battled for her daughter's attention in the second slide, as she wanted to get a kiss, which she did get in the third.

Jeanie was not having the easiest time trying to get some love from her daughter. Her caption explains what it took to win Monaco's attention. The TV star wrote, "We can make this easy or hard, Coco." Among the amused were several fans concerned with Monaco's hair.

Some commenters criticizingly requested that Jeannie step up her care for her daughter's hair. Among them, a hairstylist wrote about their experience with mothers of mixed children. They divulged how white mothers usually render services for diverse children who lack hair care.

Other commenters were more candid in their approach, with one writing, "Oh please. Comb the [child's] hair. It's not that hard." Another Instagrammer said they were not trying to be funny in requesting Jeannie to "please do her hair sometimes."

Some fans gracefully approached what was handled like a TLC lesson for Jeanie. A fan suggested the haircare products from Reagan Sanai for detangling curly hair. They added that satin or silk mattress covers would be a great option if Monaco sleeping with a bonnet on was not.

Jeanie also had the support of followers who felt it was ridiculous for others to be so demanding of her parenting. Someone encouraged Jeannie not to be too concerned with the comments from fans requesting that she tends to Monaco's hair.

Another user defended Jeannie in response to someone else. They said it was rude and weird for strangers to comment on the one-year-old's hair based on a snapshot moment from her day without the mother asking for advice. In a separate comment, the same user said:

"I remember when [Jeannie] didn't post anything about her child on [social media] for long time after she was born. Jeannie was criticized for not showing her child to the world so her fans could see her. And she finally does post her daughter and some of the comments about her child's hair are so rude."

Jeannie announced her daughter's arrival in January last year with an Instagram post. She shared a picture of an empty bassinet but clarified in the caption, "I asked God for a life of love and happiness. He sent me my family. Baby Jenkins is here 🍼❤️."

The TV star provided no details about the baby's gender or name. She posted a video from her Winter Wonderland-themed baby shower hosted by friends and family the month before, referring to her unborn child as Baby J—Sidenote: Monaco also has a half-brother from her father's previous relationship. Jeannie concealed pictures of her daughter for the first five months of her life.

The TV star shared videos of Monaco on her "Hello Hunnay" YouTube series, which Jeannie felt was the most exciting of all the episodes she had done. In the video, viewers saw the baby introduced to Jeannie's "The Real" co-hosts, like fellow mothers Adrienne Bailon and Tamera Mowry.

Monaco's parents, Jeannie and her Grammy-nominated husband, Jeezy, will celebrate five years of romance this year. For the TV host, finding love with the rapper has redefined what she felt she deserved from a lover. Although their relationship dates back to 2018, the couple tied the knot on March 27, 2021.

Their relationship hit the press in November 2018, and in January 2019, they appeared on Instagram. Later in 2019, they publicly appeared at the SnoBall Gala dressed to the nines in Atlanta, and by August, Jeannie was openly talking about the Grammy nominee on "The Real."

The couple became engaged on April 6, 2020, when Jeezy took a knee during a romantic date night in LA. September 2020 came with another public appearance as the rapper supported Jeannie at "Dancing With the Stars. After the wedding, the couple announced they were expecting Monaco in September.
