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.
DS "brushes" my hair with duplo and picks hats for him to wear and me to wear. If I wear a hat then hats are OK: if I don't wear a hat then he will take his off. DS loves "dressing" my hair and will spend ages styling it. But doing that means I can do ANYTHING to his hair and he has to be OK with it or I won't play hair salons.
Hair washing is still an issue but tough, he can scream and taste the lovely lavender and dill shampoo.
