Not angry or upset 😂just curious.
Today I sent my 5 year old into school with her hair in two high bunches, with the rest of her hair down. She’s not had it like this before and saw a girl on the tv at the weekend with similar hair to hers put in this style and asked for it. It actually looked v cute. DD’s fair is getting longer now, past her shoulders and thick and wavy/curly.
When I picked her up from school, she had two low plaits in, I didn’t notice for ages and until she was in the car and only then as it was different to how I do it and then I remembered her hair in the morning.
I asked Dd why her hair had changed and she said the assistant called her over after lunch when she was playing with her friend and took her hair out and put two plaits in 🤷🏻‍♀️
My first thought was nits maybe, but we always get informed by the teacher that day, plus an email goes out.
Did she just not like the style 😅

@Multipleexclamationmarks Thank you 🙂She said it was none of the above, my only thought was emergency influx of nuts in the school, but seems not

I'm a t.a in reception class.
Usually it's because 1 or both bunches has come out.
Child wants hair same as friends and takes their out and asks you to put it up.
School policy is no hair down (especially p.e)
They were playing hairdressers.

@capnfeathersword I asked her that and she said no, hair was still up and she was just playing and she called her over

@MaloneMeadow No, she’s had it down with a clip or hairband in so many times and no problem

Probably one bunch came out. 5 year olds are not reliable narrators.
At our primary everyone should have their hair up.

At DD’s school they’re not allowed any hair down whatsoever unless it’s photo day, it all has to be up. Could that be the reason?

I work in a primary school and would never do this. Seems odd. Only thing I can think of was it was in her face and she mentioned it was annoying her. I think that's the only reason I would touch a child's hair!

Did often has her hair in two plaits or one, a ponytail or all down with a clip etc
