Yes it wasThanks for commenting!
You forgot the mohawk for the boys (or even tiny baby girls). I've seen a lot of babies rocking the 'hawk lately, and it's adorable!That sounds adorable! I guess the kids from the 80's are grown up and having their own kids. :) Thanks so much for commenting!My daughter has a hawk :) I haven't cut any hair on the sides or anything, but she has so little that I just spike the middle because its the only way to do much of anything with it. And being that daddy and I are rocker kids ourselves, it works out well :)
when do you cut a girls hair for the first time?The great thing about girls hair, or any child for that matter is that it grows back! In most cases, I suggest cutting it when it begins to look awkward. With my own daughter, her hair wasn't growing as fast as other girls. Then someone suggested I get it cut. I thought you must be crazy she has such little hair. It worked. Getting it cut got the baby hair off and the new hair grew extremely fast. If your girl already has long hair, it never hurts to get the trim to keep it healthy and all even since some hairs seems to grow faster than others. :) I hope this answered your question. If not, please leave another comment. Thanks so much for commenting!
Good article. I saw a cool boy's cut today at the park. It was kind of a mowhawk/mullet look that was basically a mohawk with bangs. Sounds weird, I'm sure, but it was very hip looking. I like baby Suri's cut... I do really feel like most of these baby hairdressers don't know how to do anything special. Like, why would they be baby hairdressers if they were any good?The mohawk sounds interesting! I like baby Suri's cut as well! Thanks so much for commenting!
I'm curious if there is anything that can be done when the baby is younger and the hair is still very short. My little girl is only 4 1/2 months, but she still has most of the hair she came out with, except for the bald spot from sleeping. She has some hairs longer than others and the bottom hair at her neck is doing the duck tail thing and she has about two inches on top. I'm nervous to cut it though in case I make things worse. Her hair is very fine and wispy, so there's no point of putting clips, they just fall out! Any suggestions at all would be great! Thanks!Shannon-this is typical of baby hair. If you take her to a professional, they most likely will trim the ducktail for you and just make it even for under $7 usually. However, I would advise just waiting it through. Baby hair grows fast. There are some very tiny little clips available that just open, do not snap that may work. My best advice though, although it probably isn't what you want to hear, is just wait another month and see what the hair does. Also, keep her turned to try to lesson the bald spot. A haircut can spur the growth. It just depends how long you had envisioned it before the first haircut. You don't want to take away that memory. Anyhow, I hope I was some help! I am sure your baby is gorgeous either way!!!Try the hair clips called "no slippy hair clippy". They are very well made, and they work with just the tiniest amount of hair you can imagine. They look so cute!!Use baby lotion to style it and hold it in place. Conditioner also works well for this. There are velcro barretts that you can get for little babies. If the ends are a bit curly/wavy, you can scrunch them up using the lotion or conditioner and it'll make it look cute.Thanks so much for the detail!!! Thanks for commenting!My daughter had the same problem at just over a year old. Her hair is very fine and curly and the tiny clips would just slide out not to mention that she took them out and chewed on them.I started using those tiny plastic bands (not rubber) to get her hair into any kind of pony tail possible. At first it was one on top and in the back to encourage growth. Then I was able to do two on top and the one in back. Now about 8 months later and two very minimal haircuts she has enough for full blown pigtails.If you cut the hair about 1/8 of an inch it will encourage growth and "clean up" the look. I trim her hair every six weeks when I do mine just to keep it healthy and encourage growth. It really does help.Condition your babies hair with what works for your hair! Those baby condiitoners are way to mild for a baby that has untamed hair. My daughters hair looks so much nicer when I use my conditioners on her. But my daughter has to do everything mommy does.I hope that tip can help another mommy
I know that people are entitled to their own opinion, but man, some people I am kinda shocked to see how whiny some of these comments are!
my 19month old has long beutiful hair and i dont want to cut it but its always in her way if i put it up she takes it out and then she really looks wild any suggestionsJonina-My daughter used to always take hers out as well. My suggestion is just to try those ouchless pony tail holders with a bow on top that clasps. It might be harder for her to get off. Besides that just keep putting it up as often as you can. Eventually, she will give in and get use to the foreign object. My finally did!I agree with Laura,My daughter is finally getting used to t after about 6 months. Play around with where you tie the pny tails cause some spots might be pulling thos little hairs. Like when just one or two hairs is pulled and it hurts so bad its the same for babies.
hey laura im a dad to a 14month old little princess. i never thought i would be doing hair because i have a 3 yr old son but i am. i found giving my daughter her clips to play with while i do her hair seems to help but she loves it when daddy does her hair. i love pig tails but i also fold the pig tails in half it gives her a even cuter look just to change it up a little. mommy and other moms are commenting on how cute it is that dad does her hair so i do eat it up.i could use more ideas though i have to keep going on the styles to show moms that dads can do our daughters hair and we can make it cute. mom does good to thank you so much have a great dayI am very impressed! I think dad do a better job because often times they are more patient and feel less pressure! Thanks for being a great dad! I am sure your daughter cherishes the time and will continue to do so as she grows. I like the idea of splitting it in half! thanks for sharing! Another cute idea is to take the bangs and pull back into little sections. Put pony tail holders in. Then take the little pony tail and pull over and through the hair that is pulled back. It hides the holder and makes a cute style. I usually do five or six sections with the front hair. Hope that helps. Braids are great as well! Thanks so much for taking the time to read and comment! Have a great day!Thats too cool. I'm going to try that style on my daughter. My dad is the one who raised me so when I was little I taught him how to do ponytails and braid hair on my barbie dolls so he could do my hair. Dads can totally do hair! I even got my dad to do my hair in fish tails (I'm an 80's child).Try working with ribbons. They make great accessories to the cute hairdoos. My daughter will keep a ribbon around her head but not a headband...lolI've been tying charms and beads on the ends of my ribbons for my daughters pig tails and it looks so pretty. Thats something you just can't do to the little boys!
I have to recommend the ouchless ponytail holders, I bought a pack of approx. 400 for less than $2 at Walmart. They stay in VERY well and VERY little hair is needed. Just a few suggestions though...DO NOT spray sunscreen on them they become brittle and fall right out, instead spray in your hands then apply (same goes for bug spray). Also to remove them painlessly stick your finger in the middle of the pigtail under the band and separate the hair the band will come out as you pull the hair through. I just toss them after each use, as they lose their elasticity but they are extremely cheap anyways! Hope this helps!!Thanks Jessica for sharing such an awesome deal! I will have to go check those out for sure! I never knew that about the sunscreen-thanks for the tip! Have a great day-Laura
