I know when it came time for Addie’s first haircut at around two years old I was petrified that her curls wouldn’t come back. So today I impart to you the wisdom I have learned over the past six years of dealing with my daughter’s head full of golden ringlets.ġ. That is unless you don’t really care, because I know there are days when I let the haircare slip and my eldest runs around society looking as though no one really loves her with her wild tangle of frizzy hair. Having a child with curly hair could easily be considered a lifestyle. The good news is that us moms with curly haired progeny can bond together over products, techniques and styles that most moms never have to worry about. Look, people, I know you’re just trying to be nice, but “IS HER HAIR NATURALLY CURLY?” She’s three and do I look like a pageant mom? I’m pretty sure painting a badger’s toenails would be easier that curling a toddler’s hair. “She’s going to hate that hair when she gets older!” However the commiseration begins with all the comments. I know for me one of the greatest joys is just how easy a curly head is to pick out in a sea of straight haired little girls. So you birthed a baby with curly hair, come, sit close, let us commiserate and celebrate the joys of kinky headed children. Should I have someone cut it so it’s all more one-length?

As in, hair from the top of her head actually comes farther down her back than hair that grows near the nape of her neck. The way it’s growing is also kind of weird… along the edge of her hairline it’s still pretty short, but the hair on the crown of her head is much longer. I’ve started putting her hair in pigtails during the day to keep it out of her eyes and a little more under control. She sleeps on her stomach and apparently rubs her head on the mattress or something, because lately she gets these huge rats-nests of tangles around her face. If I brush it in the morning it tends to get kind of frizzy, but I can’t NOT brush it. It’s adorable, but it’s also hard to manage. Straight out of the bath it’s ringlet-y curls all over, and then as it dries the curls get a little bigger. My daughter is about two and a half, and has adorable curly hair. But since it is about babies AND hair, I thought you would be the perfect person to ask. I am hoping that this question will be an easy one for you, even though it has me stumped.
