Baby Einstein or Bad Mothering?

babyeinsteincurlyhair

In all seriousness, I feel like a bad mom. Growing up I was not a girly girl, no makeup, no dress up, no pigtails. And here I am 26 years later with this beautiful little girl who embraces every aspect of her girliness with requests for having her piggies painted pink, bows in her hair and tapping around the house in 1 of 2 pairs of high heels I own (but have never worn). And here I am with not a clue on what to do or how to do it.

The other day I went to run a comb through her hair and it just wasn’t having it. Every turn left the comb stuck in yet another knot of curls. I’m clueless. My hair has always been straight with a slight wave yet I have this little girl with gorgeous golden curls and not a clue how to take care of them. One of these days I’m afraid someone is going to mistake her for a descendant of Einstein if I don’t learn how to control the mess.

    My daughter’s hair does the SAME thing. I’ve written a post about it, tried every product you can imagine and it’s still there. I give up!

    She is too cute! Get some of that spray in detangler, it’s good stuff!

    I agree – a good conditioner and a spray detangler. So cute though!

    Hahaha love that last one!

    Abby has some curls in the back (nowhere near what your daughter has) but the spray detangler works AWESOME. Even if I forget the conditioner it makes it so easy to comb her hair.

    When my 3yo was this age, I was so bad about not getting the knots out of his bed head! Something about that fine blond hair.

    I love your dd’s curls.

    She is adorable and you sound just.like.me! My middle daughter is a complete girly girl and she always wants some cute and intricate hairdo and I am just no good at doing hair…like I can barely do pigtails…I’m that bad!

    she is beautiful! i feel your pain. i am not a girly girl either and i have a beautiful blonde headed 5 yo dd who loves to carry a purse and have her nails done too. i let her nunna take care of that when they are together! i have a niece with curls like your dd. do you try a conditioner on her hair and have you tried the spray detangler? it looks baby fine and just needs some moisture to it. she is lovely! enjoy her.
