I am not much help either.. I was told when Dd was a baby to play with her hair and put it up as soon as I could to get her used to it.. Well fat lot of good that did me.. I do her hair beautifully everymorning and within 30 mins she looks like a feral child.. My neighbour commented one day so while we were camping with them last week I proved to her that Miss DD is a little feral all on her own
Good Luck.. Fingers crossed once she cares about her looks she will stay looking nice lol
Ours has the most ridiculously huge mop of hair - I swear 1/3 of her total volume is just hair - and I can't do a thing with it. Brush it, cut it, put it in ponytails, ANYTHING. I can wash it and sometimes she'll let me brush it for a second or two when I brush her big sister's hair, but that's it.
It gets a kind of semi-permanent dreadlock where she sleeps on it that is really hard to get out (I attack it when I have conditioner in her hair in the bath) and it constantly gets in her face so she's constantly brushing it out of her eyes. When she has a cold it gets globs of snot in it I can't get out. "DON'T TOUCHA MY HAIR MUMMY".
So mine is the one with the 'cute' enormous mass of curls while all the other little girls with much shorter hair have theirs in pretty little ponytails and buns or clipped up. If that hair keeps growing we're going to have a golden Cousin It on our hands. I mean, in the bath the stuff is almost down to her waist, and when she's naked it covers her nipples.
So I'm with you on hoping its just a phase too ...

DD's hair is curly and looks like a mop as well! I put conditioning spray in it after a bath so I can at least brush the knots out of it but by morning she has bed hair and wont let me do a thing. When I try to she just pulls it out. Its funny as all the other kids at CC have their hair done so nicely and there is my girl - named by our family as "princess Bruiser" because she is a little bruiser! LOL!
I think they are either hat/hair kids or they aren't - no matter what you do. DD1 never took her hat off as a baby and loved having her hair done. DD2 won't have her hair brushed or washed except under extreme bribe conditions. She hates MY hair up and demands I take it out.
At 4, she has only just accepted her hair being done because all of a sudden she wanted plaits like mum.
oh yeah, DD hates clips and elastic too! She WILL wear a headband providing it doesn't have "teeth" and she LOVES hats... but getting her to leave her hair up? Forget it!
I broke the cycle (that knot needed seeing to!) by sitting her in front of a new DVD with a bowl of icecream and used a detangler spray I let her choose herself (and pumped it up like it was the BEST thing in the universe).
She let her grandad brush her hair any ole time ggrrrrr!
No idea but I am looking for hints too Miss J will wear a hat but clips and hair ties are a no-no. She just pulls them out! I think I'm just going to have to keep her hair cut in a pageboy style or similar.
