This phase will pass. My daughter (3) now requests a variety of styles - not being of the "girly" mindset I struggle a bit with "Mummy, could you do a sideways plait with 2 hair ties and 3 hairclips that looks like X from playcentre's hair" demands at 7am. Her hair is thin, slightly wavy and generally a nightmare. Can't wait for the day she can do it herself!


I keep it cut in a short bob which does help a little with the overall scruffy nature - Moos I think you'd be hard pushed to find a 2.5 year old girl happy to have her hair cut off completely!

This question all depends on the hair type...my daughter is 2 and she is afro caribbean and that was a major struggle to do her hair because of the texture. However if your child has european hair or afro hair twist, plaits, wear head band or just leave it out.


With my daughter to get her to sit down and get her hair done was a nightmare so i get her involved put hair clips bands hair cream the lot in front of her and it keeps her occupied i put beads and everything in whist she thinks shes "helping mummy" makes it look really pretty if you want me to show you how to plait put beads in etc just let me know id be happy to help :))

Hi thanks for all your lovely messages.


Mobilemassage: opposite problem this end, her hair so fine and silky everything slips out so its really easy for her to pull out bands and clips etc. Tried to trim her fringe this morning whilst distracting her with mr tumble! She was having none of it. Think I may bob it off until she is old enough to leave hair bands in then she could grow it long?

My younger daughter has fine straight hair too and we used to keep it in a little bob without fringe with little butterfly clips that we just kept saying wanted to be in her hair. We also went out and selected loads of hair clips (what everyone is calling slides?) that she liked. Hairbands for us don't work because they fiddle with them and some can hurt their heads. Agree with above that it does pass eventually and then gets very complicated when being asked for all sorts of updos at 7.30am on a school morning.

I used these when the girls were little

They stay in really well (after the initial struggle)and one at the front to one side looks very cute as there hair grows into a cutable style. They sell them in most chemists etc

That's just sparked a strange memory - when I was little, probably about 7 I think, my mum got so tired of trying to bargain with me about getting my long hair cut / tying it back that I remember one day she came up behind me when my hair was in a ponytail and literally cut my ponytail off! Looking back, especially now being a mum myself, this seems really quite an odd thing to have done!

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
