Yesterday I heard this yelling followed by DH requesting me to come and help.
DD had a brio battery operated train stuck to her head, her hair wound very tightly around the weels in various directions and not a sign of shifting. Had to use scissors to cut it off, luckily, it was underneat and near the back so does not notice (not much cut off). I asked her if she would let me tie her hair back so it does not happen again, she refused.
This evening, she is playing with her train set again, cue yelling and crying and low and behold, train in her hair again. Luckily I manage to untangle it as I got to it quickly so no scissors needed. Again, asked her if I can tie it back, again, screamed no at me and cried at the idea of it.
Now, she has beautiful shoulder length blond hair, with a fringe at the front. It really is gorgeous, but it is fine, needs lots of conditioner and gets knotted very easily, not to mention sticky/full of food and the such. But she has always refused, and if I am lucky enough to get her hair up, she pulls it straight out.
So, how have you all managed to get your DDs to have their hair tied back/wear an alice band, even sometimes? I am sure she cannot manage losing too much hair to Brio without looking (more) like an urgin
