Hairdressers - random sorry!

Has anyone taken their little ones to the hairdresser with them whilst you’ve had your hair cut? I have a toddler as well so it’s very difficult to get any child free time at the moment so I was going to go on a day he’s in nursery and just take the baby. Is this acceptable or would the hairdresser be annoyed? Aha ...

Eyelash extensions

Hey, I’ve had eye lash extensions for years but stopped at the start of my pregnancy due to morning sickness and eyes constantly getting watering. I want them in again but unsure how I can get them done when your meant to lie on your back for 2 hours? How do you girls get lash extensions without lying on your back?

When does cradle cap come off?

My baby is 4 months old and she still has a lot of her cradle cap. Especially in the front on her hair line. I thought it was taking awhile to come off because I gave birth at 35 weeks so she was super early but idk. Her father says it will come off on its own which is fine but when did your babies come off?

My lg has really fine curly hair so after the bath I sometimes put on a detangler and then hair custard (both from my little coco) to help control the floofyness of her hair. However we always bathe her before bed so I find myself towel drying...
