    Babies 4month+ with alot of hair...

    DD was born with alot of hair. Everyone always told me...oh it will fall out. Well its now getting out of control! its getting thick and longer. So all you ladies out there that have bubs with crazy hair.. how did u tame it? She always looks so scruffy! Did u tie it up?? clip it up?? where did u get the stuff to do it?

    or

    should i just get over it and let her be a scruffer? lol

    TIA

    ps. its mainly when we go out, when shes home i dont care but i dont think the bed head thing suites her too much when we are out (though its suits her crazy personality!) oh and its starting to go curly a little too so its getting boofy and sticks up in every direction.

    start clipping back and tying her hair up now so it doesnt become an annoying thing that she's going to refuse to let u do when she's older. DD lost all her hair and it took soo bloody long to grow back, even now she looks like she doesnt have enough hair for her age, but its because its literal ringlets and instead of growing down its growing outwards and upwards and is seriously crazy! but she wont let me do anything with it and i think if i had of started when she was younger she'd be cool with it now

    If you just give the ends of it a little trim every now and then it wont look quite so ratty, even with the length. Plus you can always buy some tiny hair bands and start putting it up. My eldest had his first proper haircut at 10mths cause he was starting to look like Bert Newton with his comb over so it had to go LOL.

    Natty had heaps of hair and yes, it used to stick straight up! One day I was carrying her in the baby bjorn and a lady did a double take and then said to me, "Oh goodness, I thought you were carrying a dog!"
    I kid you not.
    Anyhoo, it eventually got too heavy to sit straight up and flopped back. I didn't cut it as I didn't see the point - it was thick, so it would always stick up. It grew longer at the front, so she sort of had a natural 'pob' for a while there, LOL. I used hair clips if it was in the way. She has lovely hair now - it is something people always comment on (and these days they are more positive than the dog comment).

    DD has wild hair. I try to put it up, i try to put clips in it, but she mostly just pulls them out. So i have just grown to love her wild hair. Matches her personality!
    She has had 2 haircuts which stop it looking so ratty.

    Baby Headbands are good. Little hairties or clips as well, but these could be a chocking hazard once bubby is old enough to start putting things in her mouth

    As soon as DS could sit up properly - we had him at the hairdressers! He's had 2 haircuts now and it's much better. Easier to manage and not such a pain (he used to get the hair in his eyes as he turned over in bed!).
