I couldn't imagine having to do Cs hair everyday if it was long. It's a rare occasion he lets me out gel in it so usually it looks like a bad bowl cut. Ha...yeah, just getting B to let me brush or comb his is plenty.

Also I can't cut E's hair because I'm afraid of him looking more grown up than I want him to be. Have you ever gotten it trimmed? H’s hair is so much easier to care for (less tangly) after her hair is cut. Taking half an inch to an inch off would still leave it long but it might help it to be more manageable.

C's hair is typically pretty short and it's so nice to not have to do anything to it! L on the other hand... that hair goes from cute to hot mess in about 2 minutes.

This was our firstborn rocking a bowl cut from 2yo to almost ten. The style was a little dated, but it worked really well on him because his hair was so fine. It took me a year to convince him to change it, and seriously, nobody recognized him at first.

I’m jelly of the boy moms that don’t have to do anything for their kid’s hair every day. I HAVE to do something with both girls’ hair or it’s in their face all day long. H wakes up with a rats nest on the back of her head. I think I need to get her in for a cut again too. Her hair is super thick, like mine.

H’s hair is so much easier to care for (less tangly) after her hair is cut. Taking half an inch to an inch off would still leave it long but it might help it to be more manageable. We used to get it trimmed and keep it shorter but he has decided he wants it shoulder length like his sister. It's not too bad for tangles (yet). wedding he loves manbuns and let's the teachers do them. He will let me put in up to 6. I know some moms of girls are jealous that he will stay still.

I'm nervous about girl hair.. there is a girl in J's class and it is a hot mess every day. She is also the girl that was a B to j, so I imagine it's not for lack of trying by her mom, she's a handful.

Mine is fine and curly and will get the worst knots if I don't sleep with it braided. I am really hoping she doesn't get my curls. Or my hips, or my tree trunk legs...

Glad C can kick the boot! flamingoSafe travels! weddingI thought M would have curly hair when he was a baby and wanted to grow it out. After he turned one his hair texture changed and I was bummed, but now, I’m so glad to not have to deal with that every time we have to leave the house.

It’s not that big of a deal to do it, it’s just one more thing you have to do when you’re trying to get out the door. I start doing clips or a little pony starting around 10-11 months so they learn to sit well for it pretty quickly. My trick is to sit in front of the tv. I don’t really have any experience with curly (that would be tgrimes and snoopmommymom) but H’s hair didn’t get too tangly until it was past her shoulder blades probably.

Add me to the happy to only do one head of hair! Josie doesn't complain, but I like that I only have to put the effort and thought into one head of hair (style, hair ties, bows, headbands) Charlie's cut takes care of him!

I pop J up on her change table, give her a couple combs, and the spray bottle, work quickly and BAM there's a little pony on the top of her head and I want to die of cuteness.
MH on the other hand has a hell of a time; gives up on the ponytail, combs her hair the same way as B's and sends them on their way, making them look more alike than they already do.

Tangles such. Cadence yells at me every morning when I try to brush her hair. There are tears, hers and mine until we get through it. There are steps, step 1 I run my fingers through it, step 2 I can use the brush, and step 3 the comb. I usually only use the comb when I'm putting it up. Now she will only let me put it up if she has dance class or gymnastics. Any other day she wants it down and in her freaking face. I think she likes it because she knows it drives me crazy.

Sometimes the teachers will do her hair, but most of the time I pick her up it's a total disaster. All in her face, sticking up everywhere.

Every morning I have to wet M’s hair, use detangler & comb it, out in curling creek & then style. Her hair is fine & curly and a hot mess.

For the most part, yes, but there are these random strands that keep landing on her face no matter how many times I try to train them not too. They aren't part of her bangs, otherwise I would chop the suckers off. She has gotten good about moving her hair behind her ears though.

Fine with spiral curls. I don't envy moms who need to figure out what to do with that. My mom was not good at this.

If I'm smart I braid Layla's hair wet before bed (most nights I'm not smart.) This makes it 97% easier the next morning. I just spray with water to get the weird braid waves out and then style. I normally pull about half back, do a side braid, or a pony to try to keep it out of her eyes. I do hair quickly while she brushes teeth in the morning. Her hair can quickly become a rats nest being so fine. The wet brush has been a life saver. HIGHLY recommend!

Or my hips, or my tree trunk legs... Our crew got my fave and my husband's body. Considering he's got a great bod, this is great. Kind of too soon to tell maybe but I think both boys are going to take after my side and be tall/tallish and medium build with thick legs. They should play Rugby.

If I try to use a different brush, Evie complains about how much it hurts, although I don't know how much difference there really is. But whatever makes the morning faster!

I still need to get C in for a trim, she's looking downright shaggy. Thankfully she will keep a bow in so that helps--I think my MIL thought I was a bit over-the-top about having one in, but otherwise her hair just hangs in her face.
My mom never let us wear our hair down without something in it...headband, ponytail, bow/clip, etc. Her mom was the same way so I imagine I'll follow in their anal-retentive footsteps. My poor dad...on the rare occasions he had to do our hair, he was just stumped.
B has super thick hair like both my H and I, so I just try to keep his brushed to the side. It will generally stay put until it gets too long--it has a lot of body/wave and wants to fall forward once it hits a certain length.

Do you one on your hair too? I have one for me and I love it also. Takes me about 7 seconds to brush out my hair wet. Life changing.

I always put a barrette in Z’s hair and since the lice incident i also put it in a pony tail for school. Because her hair is curly, i don’t have to comb it to put it in a pony tail. I just use my fingers and it’s more of a messy look. It’s cute though because a few strands of curls inevitability fall down.

She should be doing Gap Kids ads or something.

No, I don't really use a brush. But I have fine, thin hair. My wide tooth comb is pretty much all I use.
