Assistant changed Dds hairstyle

Just ask the assistant on Monday

Just ask next week and let us all know.

Have they had PE where they've done forward rolls and the bunches were in the way? Or recently at our school the Reception class had Bikeability lessons on balance bikes and to get the helmets safely on we had to change some of the girls hairstyles.

Probably a safety thing, long hair always used to have to be tied up when I was at school, so it doesn't get caught when playing etc.

My daughter used to come home with beautiful plaits from nursery. She loved it. They looked fantastic. I could never replicate them. The only issue for me was that I had to plait her hair every day til I washed it to keep it manageable. She has curly hair that falls in ringlets and as soon as it is plaited it will frizz into crazy fluff. I tend to use bobbles and create a French plait style bubble plait to keep it all away from face etc. Between school rules and practicality it’s always tied back. And stays that way for the most part. One bobble might slip but 3-4 on each side and it survives! One benefit of curlier hair is t friction keeping them in.

If it kept happening I’d certainly ask but as a one off as many others have said I wouldn’t bother. Too many reasons why it might happen.

Possibly the bunches had come loose and the assistant decided to redo the style but in a simple style that she could do.

I can think of several reasons for this...

1. Hair was coming loose.
2. Child was hitting other children in the face when swinging around.
3. They were going to do some kind of craft (I had a student whose hair went straight into the Paint pot. We had to rinse out blue hair...)

Two strikes me as the most likely...

I think you absolutely should!!
you can do the chicken dance for the parent dances!!

ditto

My dd’s primary school needs long hair up for certain classes like science, art, food tech etc depending on what they’re doing that day. I tie her hair up every day anyways just to be safe cause she’s not the best at putting her own bobble in. It’s just a health and safety thing

Not a rule at our primary. Xx

Our primary school never ever stipulated a policy over hair. A lot of the older girls would often wear it down. As a teacher myself this is a big no so I’ve always done bunches or plaits or pony tails. Secondary are the ones who make a point of saying hair up for PE, food tech and science experiments. My kids managed to both get through primary school without ever getting nits. We had many warning letter for their classes though.

My daughter just left primary in the summer. There was a particular TA who ask did wrap around who loved doing the girls hair. DD would often come home with new styles from her. I had to learn to French plait eventually as she would come home on a lovely plait that would need re doing by morning (very frizzy curly hair that would need a tonne of hair spray to stay overnight).

Why don’t you just ask at school drop off or collection or via the school communication app?? “Hi, just wondered if there was a reason why DD came home with a different hair style to the one she was sent in? Her recollection wasn’t clear and I’m curious. “. Bright and breezy.

Oh, lighten up! A girl had her hair put in plaits. Do you usually take offence over trivialities?

It used to happen to DD all the time at nursery, they liked practicing hairstyles on her hair. At school when it's come out they've done something else to it before. Especially at the beginning of term. Don't leave hair hanging down at that age after a half term/summer holiday, for some reason nits come out to play then. Plaits or up for a little while and as a sidenote, coconut oil is your friend!

“Doggy style” 😂

It was probably badly disheveled and falling out. I’m not sure it’s something to be worried about. I love it when staff care for the kids enough to do lovely little things like this

@Doireallyhavetopeopletoday was it noticeable that your child’s hair had been cut?

Was it a couple of wispy strands or a chunk?

Whilst it is not ideal, if it was taking out a couple of non-noticeable strands to save a whole head getting caught, I would thank the staff member and buy them chocolates! I would expect to be spoken to at pick up though

This sounds like a teacher/TA that is also a mum of a five year old girl.

Five year old girls who are busy playing don’t notice their hair falling out until it has really pissed them off and a melt down ensues.

Be pleased that they have fixed her hair and kept her happy and playing all day.

I often did my daughter's hair like this, we called it "doggy" style as it reminded us of dog's ears.

Who does that?

The person raising your child for you. It sounds like they're doing a good job!

I loved it when the women in the nursery French plaited my daughters hair, wish I could do some of the hairstyles they did

@Doireallyhavetopeopletoday Someone looking after a child (along with 29 others) who has managed to get blu-tack stuck in their hair?
