    Cool Someone is apparently way too cool to leave hats on heads or clips in hair!

    And it seems she has a problem with other children having things in their hair!

    DD is such a little Miss! We have lost countless clips and no matter how I do her hair, she wont leave it in. I have tried all different positions on her head, different types of clips, hair elastics...but she has a problem with all of them!

    She also hates beanies and hats and wont leave them on. Even the ones that tie underneath the chin. She wont have a bar of it.

    When does this stop??? She is almost 16mths and this has been going on for about 5 months!

    Also now at CC, she will try to take other peoples clips or hair elastics out! So naughty!!!

    Not much help here as my DD tends to do exactly the same thing! Only very occasionally does she leave the things in her hair that I put in there, but she will leave random pieces of paper or food. Hope she grows out of it before no hat no play comes into effect!

    Dd1 was like this except she loved hats, it's taken us until now at almost 3 for her to stop pulling out hair ties but clips are still a lost cause and now she has shown dd2 what to do.

    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 ...

    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!

    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!

    Lulu- DD tries to pull my hair out as well!

    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.

    DD used to be ok with clips but then started taking them out but is getting used to them again, she has one in at the moment, but iof going out then i put it up and it stays in ok, shes been good with the hairbands (i get the snag free ones, pack of 500 from target, there tiny ones), DD1 was the same, they do get better, its just a matter iof time!

    I missed a hair-brushing opportunity this morning

    DD#1 needed her hair done for Hairlarious Day at school so I put her hair up in several random plaits and ponytails with random coloured hairties and sprayed the lot pink.

    Unfortunately DD#2 woke up after DD#1 had already left for school so all she did was get all OCD about the combs and brushes and hairties I'd left on the kitchen table and had to put them all away for me
