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!

    • what's scandalous is our government allowing it. The should and can impose fines and order works which would lead to TW becoming bankrupt, at which point it can be taken back into the public domain.
    • The privatisation of water is just ridiculous. I have the Safer seas and rivers service app on my phone (recommend it if you like to swim outside) and the regular (weekly) sewage dumps highlighted all along the south coast is just outrageous.
    • That's a disgusting slur against an innocent driver who was probably just on their way to drop off freshly-baked muffins at an orphanage when they had to swerve out of the way of a so-called "cyclist", and anyway traffic lights are just a Marxist conspiracy by Southwark Council to slow traffic down and force people out of cars, so we're all better off without it.
    • Frothy coffee? Not really my bag. A double espresso and a Marlboro Red? It's the breakfast of champions. The only dark drink with a creamy head which should ever be drunk by a man of my age is Guinness. I've also become lactose intolerant recently, meaning I get very impatient around milk. You make a fair point, but those legal channels are available for them to recover their repair, and legal, costs and, as I said: "It's up to them if they [Southwark] want to do that, of course." There's three or four grands worth of Cat N write-off, wrapped round a post there (more, if it's broken down for parts) causing problems. If they can't be arsed sorting that, I'm not holding my breath. Even Southwark couldn't screw their numbers up enough to make shifting the post back through circa 15 degrees more than a couple of grand, so there's a drink in it for everyone. It's a bit 'leany' just now, yeah, but I haven't noticed anyone having to limbo under it to get to Superdrugs. Or, they could make a feature of it. Pisa has made a fortune out of not sorting the underpinnings of their tower. Let's say it's an installation by someone called, I don't know, Bangsy, and it's a physical reminder that SE22 cannot deny its proximity to Peckham, Camberwell & Brixton. It's about the only thing that would get me back into The Bishop since the many dark afternoons of the soul I spent with Clarence*, the world's most depressed Weimaraner. *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.   Come on Spartacus, don't be shy. You know exactly where the Green Cross Code Man was in 1973: less than a hundred yards away, on North Cross Road. https://youtu.be/C-XwVVMiCO4?si=rt8kQllev0t1Lgdi For some years, I found it quite difficult to go into The Forrester's after many long afternoons of the soul with Dave Prowse* (The Green Cross Code Man). *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.
