Little Girls and Hairstyles
It’s funny how women enjoy trying out new hairstyles all the time. Most men might go through three different styles in their entire life. But women start from a young age and continue until their last day trying on new and different styles.
With that said, this morning I just tossed my hair up into a trusty ponytail and took the big girl to school. Two hours later, my 3 year old comes to me and says, “You really need to fix your hair, Mommy. It’s VERY fuzzy!” LOL!
Considering that I don’t plan on leaving the house until it’s pick-up time at school, I refused and assured her that I would “fix” it later. LOL!
Over the years I’ve watched these girls go throgh hairstyle after hairstyle. They’ll fix each others hair, they’ll fix their own hair, heck, they’ll even attempt to do something with my mop of curls. One day my 8 year old came out of the bathroom with braids all over her head, in no particular order. And it was time to leave for school! Thank goodness it only takes me a matter of seconds to reduce a headful of braids to nice, soft waves, cause she was not going to school looking like that!
Oh, and lets not forget about all of those braiding, beading, coloring kits on television that are marketed toward young girls. I swear, if I hear one more time about how much the older two want a hair braiding kit, I might just scream. Seriously? Since when should it cost you to braid your hair when your own fingers can do it for free?
My naturally brown hair, has been a lovely shade of red for a year now (thanks to Garnier Nutrisse!). Before that I would go blonde. From the age of about 17 my brown hair has been hidden. Now my oldest is saying that when she’s old enough she wants to color her hair too. I’m all fine and dandy with that… when she’s older! Then she tells me about these other 11 year old girls in her grade who seem to come in with a different color every week. ACK! Too young people! Too young!
This has even gotten to the point that the elementary school they are in has it written into their school “rules” that children can not come to school with distracting hair colors. LOL No green, purple, blue, orange hair is allowed.
Anyway, girls and hairstyles go hand in hand. It doesn’t matter if they’re 3 or 93.

My daughter is only seven months so I haven’t yet been able to enjoy this stage. But i can’t wait until she gets any hair at all! she’s still pretty bald. =) My husband thinks it’s funny that I’m basic, pretty much a tomboy. I hardly wear make up or do my own hair and yet I can’t wait to dress her up into cute little dresses and do different things to her hair. =)
Sounds like you got your hands full…lol. I bet your girls are loads of fun.
