I haven’t found a gel yet that I love but I’ve been wanting to try this one. Naptime destroys them! If you put some gel on the tips of your fingers before you begin braiding I’ve noticed that helps keep the braids looking nice and put together until at least naptime.
#Black baby girl hairstyles for short hair skin#
If you can get your daughter involved, give her some skin in the game, you’re likely to have a more successful morning. Choosing the style will keep her happy and it’ll help us not forget some of the styles we’ve created. She’s starting to become opinionated so I think a book would be perfect. In the next little bit I plan on printing out all the photos we’ve taken of her hair and making a little flip book for the bathroom. I don’t figure it out as I go - I’ve already decided. I have the comb, water, bows and elastics out and I already know how I’m going to style her hair. I know that the second she steps on the stool I have five minutes. Be consistent.Another thing that I’ve found helpful is being prepared. If your daughter is older and you haven’t been very consistent at doing her hair, start now. We won’t leave the house until her hair is done and she usually wants to go so that’s a good motivator for her. That’s when suckers come in handy or that determination I was talking about earlier! I’m more stubborn than she is and she knows it.
On floor, screaming until she almost passes out, tantrums. Don’t get me wrong, there have been many tantrums.
Most times though she just sucks her thumb and snuggles her blanket. Sometimes I’ll give her my iPhone and she’ll either play a game or watch UmiZoomi (the best show ever). The key is to start them out when they’re little! I’ve been doing Savy’s hair since she was a baby so it’s just something she’s always known.
I’ve had less than two years of practice and all toddlers and all hair is different so I am absolutely no expert. While there is skill involved, it’s mostly about learning what works for you and your babe and being consistent. You mommas are totally right– doing toddler hair is hard! It takes a ton of patience, determination and a few tricks up the sleeves. You could say she’s the perfect daughter for me haha! Every time I post a photo of her whether it be on instagram or here on the blog, I get a flood of emails from frustrated moms who have so many questions about her hair and our routine. She’s a little ham! She loves getting her hair done, acting like a princess and twirling around to “Let it Go”.
