My DD (2.5) has always been obsessed with hair. If I give her a cuddle, her hands are in my hair instantly and she twiddles her hair to self-soothe as she falls asleep. She came downstairs earlier tonight because she'd got her hand stuck, and my husband said her finger was purple. I checked on her when I got home, her fingers were in her hair again and the tips were blue.
I'm assuming this isn't safe?! Any tips on how to break her of the habit? I think she would be devastated if we cut her hair - she is always playing hairdressers with dolls/other people, and she's loving the fact that her hair is now finally long enough to have ponytails, plaits etc.
