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! :lol:
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!).

thanks heaps girls! i put her hair up lastnight to see if it would go up. It did, and she looked like pebbles! lol cant seem to find little clips..... any idea's?

I just found some at the grocery shops. Franklins or Coles, I think. Awww, how cute! A little Pebbles!

ill tie it up tomorrow and take a pic! and thanks, ill have a look for clips and stuff!

For my girls I found these tiny tiny little clips from Price attack which were good, but the best things were these tiny hair bands made out of that plastic elasticy type of stuff and they are the only ones that they couldnt pull out and great for that really downy-soft baby hair as they don't pull the hair out either.

Try priceline, hairhouse warehouse & cheap stores for little ties & clips

Hollye - i found some tiny little clips, headbands, and hair ties at BEST AND LESS!

How cute! I was going to suggest best and less too :) They have some super cute ones. And Kmart also had dora ones the last time I looked :)

Nooooooooooo dont go Dora!!!! hahahaha

My DS was born with a head of hair and he didn't lose it. It is so thick and curly now. He really needs a hair cut but I can't bring myself to cut off his beautiful curls.

cool.. ill have a look!

Mia loves dora ;)

DD was born with heaps of hair. After about 6 months it became quite thin and started thickening up after 12 months. Now she has thick, curly hair. It sticks up every which way but I think it looks quite cute, I mentioned to my mum that I wanted to put it up in pig tails and she was horrified! Made me question my own fashion cents since I wear pigtails too sometimes :lol:

I just let DDs hair do its own thing but it's up to you. Do you brush it?

uh yes.. it must be brushed!! lol ive tried the comb over thing but then it sticks up sideways! lol tho it does make her look quite quite all combed over!
