Little Diva: Three Leaf Clover And Some Screaming

This was NOT the right hairdo to try on the third day. No. Uh uh. You see, it was 6am. I was tired. Squidge was demanding this hairstyle with a terrifying insistence and I was determined to get it right. Not a great combination…
You see, our strategy is simple. We amble on over to our favourite cute girl’s hairstyle websites, peek at the ones we like, see how long they take and then base our choice on that. If there is only 20 minutes before she has to leave for school, well, the more complex dos are abandoned.
Today we had plenty of time. Loads. You did see the 6am comment, right? I was sooooo grumpy. How I have a child that wakes at Stupid O’Clock when the mere idea of that makes my bones ache, is beyond me.
Anyway. This do had me redoing her hair over and over again. The twists wouldn’t hold, the bands stuck out and yada yada. Her hair is just a bit too fine and whispy for these hairstyles. On Adopt A Do (yes, them again. I heart her) the little girl’s hair looks amazing because her hair (I am guessing here) is a lot thicker than Squidge’s.
My hair was fine when I was little and now is like thick, floppy, frizzy, mane of !*(“&(!*&”. As you can see I have no resentment about my hair’s failure to look like a shampoo advert, ever. Noooo.
So, if your little one has thin, fine, curly, frizzy hair the trick here is to use spray (I used detangler and then hairspray) to get the hair nice and pliable and to use your fingers instead of the topsy tail tool. I can’t find one in the UK so I slip my fingers underneath (or over the top, depending on the look) and keep the elastic loose. It isn’t a great compromise, as you can see in the pic her bands are loose and not hidden by her hair. I’ve become far more adept at that now, though.
