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.

A big key (as I remember from dealing with my niece’s riotous curls), is to always remember to use a cream rinse or conditioner when you wash her hair. A 2-in-1 will not do the job… it has to be done in two steps for her hair to truly gain the benefit of the extra-easy combing and brushing. A detangling spray is a great idea, but for little ones I suggest diluting it half way with water so it’s not leaving a heavy coating on her hair.
See, and I am a girly girl, but my dd’s hair still looks like that. Maybe worse. She still has a bunch of hair that is growing in on the top, so the top of her hair right now is super fine, with a bunch of short hair, so there’s not much I can do with it. When I do decide to do it, I usually put some kind of styling lotion on there, and the curls turn out super cute. It’s just too big of a pain to do it everyday.
I am the same way…tom boy all the way. I have a 5 year old girly girl princess too. WIth the Curls as well!!!
I am learning so much from her….pink rules!!
Cute post….cuter baby girl!
She is too cute
I use the detangling spray for my daughter her hair is so straight but every morning it looks so messy LOL Love your post!
That last picture is priceless!
Oh, I would LOVE that head of hair!!
She is just gorgeous =]
Awww I love her hair and I think it looks nice. Just use a good conditioner at every bath and comb it out with a wide tooth comb and it should be easier to comb through.
Too funny, Cat! She’s adorable. And that last photo is just priceless!
i love her curls! I would also have no idea what to do with them, though
Curls are beautiful mama but the finger in the nose trick lol thats masterful lol
