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!

    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
