what is your ds' hair like?

[Booyhoo]

ds is 4 and has dark blond hair. its quite thick and its short. its razored at the back and slightly longer on top. its a nice cut on lots of little boys but on ds it just looks wrong.

ive tried growing his hair down but its very thick and just looks really unkempt and makes his head look massive. will he forever be stuck with his short hair?

ds has a sort of pudding basin, with layers at the back when i can get him to sit still. he has very fine blond hair and looks like a baby chick if it is short.

also he has inherited dh's rather large ears.

oh headfairy, you're making me sad now, that's what ds' hair used to be like before i cut it. i regretted it immiediately and it never grew back the same.

your ds is bootiful

Aw thanks Booyhoo... dh keeps banging on about how much he looks like a girl, but I'm digging my heels in (until ds looks like this and can't actually see any more!

stand your ground!!

at the moment ds's (10) hair resembles a worn out toilet brush, he refuses to have it cut though.

Ds1 is 11 and has very thick wavy hair, doesn't suit him short at all. he has it shortish at the back and sides, with a side parting and the front is long and floppy. It really suits him - he is gorgeous!

DS2 is 9 and he has very fine straight hair in a slightly layered bob which looks really cute.

my ds had a mass of lovely curls at back which had to be cut to be tamed - and they never grew back. Sob.....

Booyhoo, I will most definitely!

mooseloose, same here, ds had a lovely wave to his and it was really blonde but ever since it was cut it went really dark and thick, not wavy at all.

ds2 WONT be getting his cut. (when he eventually does get some)

DS is 10 months and has the remnants of cradle cap on top so it's a bit patchy around the front, but he's getting lovely curls at the side and back. He's blonde whereas DH and I are dark.

My DS is 4 and has a number 2 cut all over...and we have to clipper it every 2 weeks because if not it looks awful. He has got the most bizarre hair...its sort of got wiry hair mixed in with normal hair and as soon as it gets even a little bit long it grows vertically (like something from the simpsons lol!)

It actually really suits him very short (its sort of a light brown colour) whereas my friends little boy has much longer hair in a sort of mullet style but it really suits him-can't imagine my DS with longer hair at all now!

both have a short back and sides, number 4 with the clippers and scissors on the top. DS1 hs dark brown thick chinese texture hair. DS2 has dark brown fine hair

DS (16) is terrified to ask for what he really wants in the cheap hair place I take him to. He mumbles 'No. 4 clippers, a bit longer on top' (because this is what he heard the boy before him saying the first time I made him speak for himself ), and 5 mins later he's done. One time the stylist couldn't hear him saying the bit about leaving it longer on the top and he got pretty much shaved all over. He never said a thing to stop her and had to wear a hat for a few weeks. I fear he'll go postal in a hair salon one day. I wish he'd be more adventurous because he has nice thick dark auburn hair and he could look a lot more stylish if he could get over the tongue tied terror of hairstylists.

awwww, bless him.

perhaps you could get him to point to something in a magazine thats the same as what he wants.

i do understand though. my sister was (and still is a bit) very timid and wouldnt say boo to a goose.

my kids are older teens - they are on profile

one gets his girlfriend to buzz it off with the clippers.

and my other son has shoulder length hair

Looking at male hair models in the magazines at the hair place would be too unmanly for him . Maybe he needs a girlfriend with a set of clippers .

i was a girlfriend with clippers once, now im still the girlfriend but not allowed any clippers.
