I think I’m going to start a support group for moms who have thick curly hair whose daughters have fine straight hair. Don’t get me wrong, Carrie’s hair is absolutely beautiful, but it won’t stay in a barrette or clip for more than a couple of minutes and it’s always in her eyes. I have no idea what to do with it (hairspray comes to mind, but I haven’t seen any in the baby aisle at the store so I think it’s probably not a good idea). The daily pressure I get from people – family and strangers alike – to cut her hair is immense, but I’ve had bangs and I’m not sure I want to force that route on Carrie. I’m really trying to stick it out long enough so that I can pull it into pigtails with teeny-tiny hair elastics, but I’m afraid that someone’s going to sneak her to the salon and have it cut before then.<\/p>\n
I think I might just feed her bananas at every meal, since she likes to mush them into her hair as a styling product anyway…mmm, banana mousse!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
