Being a mother is not an easy “job”. It’s a full-time one and dealing with various matters on which your child’s growth and development depend is a stressful task. Feeding them properly, educating them in a fashion that fits nowadays’ social standards and so on might be draining. To this, add the all hair on the face and in the food matter, and you might suffer from a breakdown”. But fear not, we have some simple solutions that will help you keep your child’s hair out of the way without too much fuss on their part.

When in doubt, use a hair bow

Small girls have a truly severe reaction when it comes to having their hair tied in a ponytail. This usually happened because their hair pulls their scalp backwards, and given the fact that they have relatively delicate scalp, it’s unpleasant. Instead of purchasing a variety of elastic bands for hair, it would be better to invest in some rolls of hair bow ribbons and get creative. You can tie the ribbon as a headband, if they are still reluctant to have their hair up in a ponytail or you can braid it and secure it with a piece of ribbon. The patterns and styles in which these ribbon rolls come are varied and certainly attractive for a small girl.

Loose piggy tails for the hot summer days

We know you might find the version of high, tight piggy tails more appealing, but given the fact that it also pulls the scalp backwards, you might experience a similar negative reaction to this option as well. Instead, try to modify those tails lower and loose ones. It will still work wonderfully at keeping your moppet’s hair out of the way, keeping them cool during those hot summer months and avoiding the tragedy of putting their hair up in a tail.

Try a loose braid for a more special touch

If your precious child is feeling more special a particular day, you could try to create a more elaborate hairstyle. Cute yet simple, a loose braid will certainly do the trick when it comes at keeping your child’s hair out of the food plate and because it’s still a loose hairstyle, you will get over the “It hurts!” part quite easily. If they are reluctant, you could try to trick them that you are actually only playing with their hair. They won’t feel a thing.
