Getting Girs Hair Done

I don't know about you... but when I first started brushing my daughters hair and putting it up she let me no problems. But something happened. And every time I would try brush the dreads out of her wispy hair she'd cry. It could have been me trying to brush the food out, or the fact she wriggles and squirms so much that I might end up pulling her hair. Brushing her hair actually reminds me of being a small child and my Mother brushing my hair. OUCH! I wouldn't keep my head still and she'd pull my hair and it was so long (& beautiful) that it got knotty :(

So I have/had this problem were brushing the hair of my 3yr old daughter offers no peace or silence for either of us. I am sure she will have haunted memories from these experiences and need counseling at a later date.

So... You might catch her with beautifully brushed and neat, slick, shiny, clean hair but I doubt it. But if you were to this is how I would do it....

Yep. That's exactly right. See... That is not me!! So... Get some one ELSE to do their hair :)

Alternatively... Get a pretty basket/bucket/container... then fill it with all sorts of 'pretties' that is used ONLY when brushing hair. Include all necessary hair equipment (brushes, combs, hair ties, clips, leave in conditioner, spray bottle of water) and some extra things like necklaces, bracelets, shiny things, beads, nail polish. It is a lot more fun and so much more practical.

& just so you know we use the elastic type hair bands because a toddler can not pull them out and they actually hold the hair in :) Oh... and cos you can buy 300 for like $2. Bargain!

I discovered this neat little tip when I gave this princess at age 2 her brother's harmonica to hold and got her hair brushed...


5 Things I am Thankful for:
1. Pretty box of pretties
2. SIL who comes and does my princess's beautiful food filled hair... okay so she was here for another reason but still did her hair
3. Leave in conditioner sprays
4. That my daughter has soft, wavy/curly feminine hair
5. Cute pig tails
