To the moms who do their kids hair

Lol! Well my baby will be 1 on March 25 and I have tried to do a little something to her hair everyday so she can get used to sitting and getting her hair done. I would just say continue to do loose ponytails so she can get use to getting her hair done.


Btw: I mostly do one or two ponytails because it’s quick - I attached a photo of my baby hair for visual

I don’t see the pic but maybe I’m doing them too tight? I was always concerned it would fall out if I did it too loose. I wouldn’t say I do it as tight as I can though. What’s crazy is that she will sit still and let me put the pony in but the second I take my hand away she’s ripping her hair out. I think actual strands of hair come off her hands when she does it. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Oh my boys’ hair was super long and thick at 2yrs (i shaved it when he was a baby lol) but yeah he didn’t mind me tying up his hair at all. I used the softer thicker kids hair ties, dunno if it made a difference though. He needed it tied up otherwise it would’ve went down to his nose. Before a wedding I cut his hair into a crew cut though. But he had long hair for ages.

If she’s ripping it out it may be uncomfortable, it doesn’t look like she needs her hair tied up. Our 2yo has slightly longer hair than this and we never tie is up unless she asks (which is never) just looks too uncomfortable and would rather her be comfy over stylish. She just wants to run around and jump anyway now so will likely fall out.
And if she’s ripping it and strands are coming out then it’s not worth it, just sounds painful for her.

Does she “rip out” with no bow? I know you were just giving a good description to help understand but if it was painful I doubt she would continue it so I don’t think she is uncomfortable or in pain I think it is just a noticeable difference for her and she is curious.
