Our son just turned 2 in December and has a fairly good amount of hair.
The problem is he does not like to get it washed, combed, braided/plaited..etc. If you even talk about doing his hair I swear that boy acts like your killing him. I don't really think he is "tenderheaded" persay I think its more that he doesn't want to sit still. If he's occupied with toys or watching TV while your doing his hair he usually doesn't make a sound. My problem is I can barely do my own hair. I am so pleased god blessed us with a little boy. Which gives me time to figure out this hair thing in the meantime to prepare for a girl (god willing). I can't braid so when its up to me his hairstyles are to rock a fro or pulled back ponytail. Both styles get him mistaken for a girl more times than I can count.
Anyway I'm at a point where I want his hair cut his dad does but doesn't . Family members are upset but at this point I don't really care because they aren't here to deal with him and his hair like I am.
Also wearing his hair pulled back and in braids has caused some thinning around his hairline. You can't really see the damage unless its pulled back...
I'm just wondering if the hairline will be an issue when it's cut. How will it look? I just don't want my baby looking like an old man w/ a receding hairline. Maybe we should give the side time to fill back in before cutting?
not much longer to go..lol
Thank you very much in advance for any information/insight you can offer. Please all suggestions are welcomed..I really really need help and who better to ask than the hair divas of the LHCF?
