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!

    • Its a few years ago now, but I organised my end of year prom (for year 13) at Off the Cuff in Herne Hill - was on the cheaper side to rent and at that age, felt very cool and clubby. I had my own 18th at Whirled Cinema in Loughborough Junction but I'm not sure if they take event bookings like that anymore 
    • You are right . It isn't going to change him for the better. Sending such a negative message is potentially counter-productive. Trump is narcissistic, arrogant, unpredictable, spiteful, divisive, and dishonest, with a penchant for a total a disregard for democratic norms.  He is one who bears a grudge so there's a case to be made for not offending him as he could react with a bunch of  adverse actions  such as  deciding to increase import tariffs on UK exports to the US.      
    • Unless we don't fly I don't think we can be too critical of the authorities.  
    • In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River). When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.
