Hannah's New Hair-Do

How is it that moms of girls seem to just know how to do their little girls' hair so cute?! Did I miss that class at the hospital? "Parenting 201: How to do your baby girls hair (when she gets hair) so she doesn't look like an orphan everyday." I clearly took too much time at the breastfeeding class. Anyway, I guess I'm going to have to figure it out.

Today I thought I'd try a -do that my cute little niece, Paiton, wears. I found out it's not as easy as it looks on a squirmy one-year-old. This seriously took me thirty minutes and two start-overs. That's not going to work. Especially on Sunday mornings with 9 am church. So, all you hair-savy mommies of little girls, you got any tips for me? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I have to say, she did look pretty dang cute though!
Thanks again for the darling bows, Deb!

What a doll! She looks so cute! You did a great job Summer. One of my friends always does her daughters hair so cute. She gets a lot of ideas from this blog. http://cutegirlshairstyles.blogspot.com/ Her daughter is 6 though so it not as much of a wrestling match to do her hair. It's a good thing Blaine is a boy; I can barely handle wrestling to change his diaper. I can't imagine trying to do more to his hair than brushing it. Yikes! Good luck!

I missed that class too when I had Olivia. I didn't do anything to her hair until she was almost 18 months old, and boy was I schooled! It used to take me forever to get piggy tails in her hair and then it got easier. Seriously, just practice, practice, practice! Soon she'll get used to it and so will you. Oh, I also found that putting in a movie always helped distract Olivia long enough for me to do her hair. Good luck! She is adorable with her new do!

When Paiton was small I did her hair in the bathtub. She was confined and her hair is already wet(wet hair is a must, way easier to slick back) Once that quit working, I did it while she was eating, or playing with a favorite toy. Now that she is loving cartoons, that is the one time of the day she knows she gets to watch them, and almost looks forward to hair time. I say invest in a good rat tail comb, and a brush that has lots of bristles (from the dollar store).
Good luck. You look like you are already a pro.
