Help! Baby girl hair - what do I do?

[fourlegstwolegs]

I had a boy first so that was easy, just cut it!
However my daughter is now 9 months and her hair is growing fast but is still really fine - it's getting in her eyes but I don't want to cut a fringe. How can I keep it out of her eyes? It's too fine for a clip, the clip just falls out. What can I do?

You cut a fringe.

Fringe until it can be clipped

Use some baby hair gel to keep the one side over out of her eyes until it grows and can be tucked behind ears?

Cut a fringe. If it's acceptable to cut your DS's hair, why not your DD's?

My daughter didn't have a fringe. I bought some tiny baby hair slides and used one to hold back her hair. I don't like the idea of gel.

DD had the same problem. I used little hair clips for ages and sometimes a little top knot using just the front bit of her hair if that makes sense. She tolerated either option for about 5 minutes before she pulled it all out. It took ages to do due to her bouncing about the place and we kept losing all the hair accessories due to her flinging them about, so I got fed up and cut a fringe. Wish I'd never bothered with the other stuff - it's a lot easier now and she can actually see! If your DD is more placid and / or likes having her hair up, it would work.

What's wrong with a fringe?

I saw the most ridiculous thing the other day- a little girl about the same age as your DD, with a bow on top that was literally as big as her head. Please don't be that parent!

My DD had long hair from a very young age. Those 'no snag' elastic hair bobbles are a godsend as they grip very well and are small enough to make it hard for them to pull out. They look a bit like loom bands if you know which ones I mean!

Haha - I won't put a giant bow on her head!
There's nothing wrong with a fringe. I just don't think it suits her, that's all. But sounds like it might be the only solution for a while!

I resisted the fringe too as I just thought if I started then she'd have to have one forever or until she is old enough to understand growing out a fringe iyswim. Then I noticed some of the hair at the front was fringe length anyway (think she has a natural mullet ), so i just cut one. My DD has poker straight hair and really suits the fringe (I think she looks gorgeous anyway, but I suppose I would)! I also cut her hair into a little bob at the back (to get rid of mullet). It's a lot less tangled and looks neat I think.
