Hair Do's and Don'ts
I'm not an accomplished hair stylist, nor will I ever be. My girls will always suffer because of it I fear. Most already know that Rosie's hair is very featherish and is difficult to style, it also doesn't help that Rosie will undo anything that has been done within moments, if she can.
Shown are some attempts on a style for Rosie's hair. In August, she had a body perm to help with her "no style" look.
In December, she had a shampoo-in color for her fading golden locks. She now has terrible roots.
This month I decided it was time for Rosie to have a real cut and style in hopes of solving all my problems with her hair. Unfortunately, as I have discovered, her hair still looks awful 90% of the time. There is no such thing as a wash and wear look for Rosie. The fault is all mine of course. The most I will do her hair is twice a day. You can't just spray in water or some chemical to spruce up her hair. All ponies and hair clips are ripped out within minutes and usually hidden by her in some special place. I haven't mentioned that Rosie has very little hair in the front of her head because she has ripped out so much of her hair. I spend way too much time trying to make that area look as though she might have bangs or something. I have gotten better with round brushing her hair and touch ups with curling irons but I barely do that for myself, how could I possibly continue this routine??
You can see by some of the torturous acts that I've already submitted my 3 year old to that I'm desperate. I'm starting to think that my Grandma Ruth had it all figured out. Wigs are really the best way to go when you have thin hair.
Help!! I'm looking for any solutions. I know her hair will thicken up eventually, but how do I last until then?
