Hair for young children 101

The key is to not say something like "let's do your hair now." Instead, you make it sound like a cool game of pretend. "What animal do you want to be today?"

Here are some of the more popular choices of hairstyles:

Monkey Ears

Puppy Ears

Unicorn Horn

Unicorn Horn w/ Flowers

Drunken Unicorn

Triceratops

Rabbit

And look who has enough hair for full pigtails! I hadn't thought of that until she came home from school yesterday sporting the new look.

And, of course, Mommy's favorite hairstyle: the hat.
(no comment on the panties)

The other key is figuring out how to quickly bundle up the hair without rubber-banding your fingers to your daughter's head. They need a girl's-hair-for-dads class somewhere.

Ha! You'll learn eventually. Michael can now do it as long as he's starting from scratch. He still doesn't understand how to salvage a day-old ponytail, or how to turn day-old monkey ears into good looking puppy ears.
