Help. My hair is long and a mess. I'm so sick of it atm. It feels dry and staticy. My son is constantly grabbing it and pulling it and driving me insane. It ends up in a floppy bun which is always lopsided and falling out. I can't do a French plait to save my life. I also look and feel like a mess! What do you all do with your hair?

I cut my hair shorter with each child!

How short and how.do you style it? Also need good shampoo advice.

It was shoulder length, then in a chin-length bob, then a pixie cut. Currently unkempt for obvious reasons, but when it's cut properly I blow-dry/straighten if I have time. Sometimes I just look disheveled! I have actually started growing it again now that my children are out of the hair-tugging stage.

@BabyLlamaZen OMG i could have written this post myself. My hair is now about 4 inches above my bum and DS will NOT leave it alone! Angry mine ends up in a twisted bun most of the time. I'm also losing my lovely thicker pregnancy hair now (5 months pp) so I have all shitty short bits that stick up! I tend to hairspray these down. I'm going to buy a big stretchy head band to hide all the little bits though. Sorry not much help...

I hate mine at the moment. It's sooooo long and the twins both like to 'play' with it. As a result it mostly stays tied up and I almost never manage to style it properly - even less so now we're in lockdown. Ideally it'd be a just below the chin bob. It's only long because I was growing it for my wedding, which was meant to be this weekend, now postponed to next Spring. I was so looking forward to chopping it off afterwards, and now I have to wait nearly a year.
