Hair Cuts for Little Girls

[SassyMummy]

My DD is 11-months old her hair is starting to get kinda shaggy.

Her hair is very straight, and she's never had a haircut before...mostly because I didn't want her to end up looking like a little boy. I want her to have longer "girl" hair.

I was wondering if there was a way I could get it "neatened up" without actually taking much of the length off...or is that asking too much?

Would it be better to just let it get long and messy looking for a while, so it can grow out and be longer? I figure that at some point or another, it's going to have to look pretty shocking in order to get some length...

i think it would be okay for a slight trim jus to keep it off her face, but if really dont want to jus use handbands lil elastics for tiny piggy tails lol, thats what my mum did too me cause i lacked a bit of hair when i was a bub:p

If you just trim the front and give her a bit of a fringe it may help. That was what I initially did with DD. A bit later on I trimmed the sides to even it up with the back which was shorter (that baby bald patch that grew out).

i would get it cut into a bit of a bob stlye until the top catches up, then let it grow. maybe a little fringe to keep it out of her eyes in the mean time. thats how i will be doing ella's. :D

Thanks!

Yeah, I'm intending on making her hairstyle into a bob with a fringe...I'm not very good at doing hairstyles (like plaits and stuff), so I figure it'll be easier to maintain a bob (I think that a lot of little girls who wear their hair down all the time, end up with "ratty" looking hair...).

When I was little, I had a bob with a fringe...and it looked quite volumous (is that even a word? lol) and non-ratty (only when it got longer did it look ratty).

I'll give it a go! THANKS!

Trimming it will keep it healthy.

Having said that though I want a nice girl haircut for Hannah but she has the hair of a Beatle (member of the band - hubby loves it but I hate it!!)
