As someone with curly hair, I will posit that brushing Lilibet's hair could make it very frizzy. Or it could be that humidity makes her hair freak out a bit.

Or maybe she hates having it brushed. I did when I was her age, and I have a vivid memory of having my hair brushed and squirming around so much trying to get away that my mom whacked me with the brush. It's OK with me if Megan prefers unbrushed hair on a preschooler to that.

But regardless: You are criticizing the hair of a preschooler.

You don't think Meghan, who straightens her curly hair to the point of flatness, wouldn't know how to handle her daughter's curly hair?

Oh I’m sure Meghan could straighten her daughter’s hair if she wanted to. But why would she want to?

I’ve seen photos of Meghan as a child and she always has natural curly hair. Why would she choose to make her daughter feel self conscious about her natural hair? You want her to use a flatiron on a preschooler??? That is insane. I hope you don’t have kids.

I didn't say anything about straightening her daughter's hair. I said that Megan, as someone with naturally curly hair, should know how to manage her daughter's curls or waves.

I have two kids, both of whom have gorgeous curls, by the way. Do you know why? Because I taught them how to do their hair in a low maintenance way.

Nice try through, nasty lady.

What parent wants to do that to a 4 year old. Seriously my kid had hair like this and I just left her natural hair until SHE cared enough to change it - around 12 years old. I say she’s a child - let her be a natural child and not conform to your social media standards.

Really? You wouldn't put an anti-frizz product in your child's hair if you knew you were going to be outside for 2 hours for a photoshoot? REALLY? I'd LOVE to see your natural girl family photos, LOL!

I have curly hair (which I wear sometimes straight and sometimes curly and am very good with) and I am still figuring out what to do with my 8 yo DD's hair, which like Lillibet's is also curly but with a looser curl pattern and is very fine and not as thick. It's a really tricky hairstyle because it can't handle the product you'd use on thicker, curlier hair to make it look good curly, but it's also very breakage prone which makes heat styling and relaxing a hard no, especially on a young kid.

My DD's hair looks just like Lillibet's as sometimes. Humidity is especially hard to deal with.

Yes, her hair is fine thin European white person wavy hair, which is very flyaway. It is different from mixed race or darker thicker curly hair or silky mixed race hair.

The products that fine wavy caucasian hair needs is different than what thicker curly mixed race or biracial hair needs.

Yes and would never use chemicals or very many products at all on a small child’s hair. The suggestions to do so are totally crazy!

You're right. None of us should shampoo our children's hair either. Or use soap to wash them. Or serve them food. Or let them breathe air. NO CHEMICALS EVER!!!!

This isn't their Christmas card, OP. It's an Instagram post. Their Christmas card is just Harry and Meghan doing something in the snow, it looks like maybe at Invictus but who knows.

If you can't get even basic details like that right, yet you're snarking about "not showing the kids' faces on their card (sic)" then you're a sad and nasty specimen.

And there is some kind of egg shaped change in colour in Meghan's hair that is hanging down.

Combined with all the photoshop issues with Harry's head and the leaves above it, this seems like an amateur photoshop job.

Do professional photographers not get upset when people butcher their photos with poor photoshop?

Oh, don't start down that road, pp. There's lots of commentary about how the Waleses' card is photoshopped, including some saying Kate was pasted into their April daffodil shoot (start with her disembodied hand on George).

The girl’s hair definitely needs to be brushed and cut.

What up with the weird photoshopping his bald spot with tree leaves?

It is just such a bad Christmas card. So I looked up William’s. It looks classy while Harry’s looks so trashy.

Here is William’s:

That's lovely ^^. They don't feel the need to hide their kids' faces...

With all the hate directed at the Sussexes--even on a place like DCUM from the hate hobbyists on this thread--I totally get why they hide their kids' faces.

Only a horrible mother would straighten a four-year old hair. You're a horrible person PP

My mother used to put my hair in hot curlers. Now we have brushes and blow dryers. No pain or chemicals necessary.

Hot curlers used on a toddler is abusive. Your mother was abusive, or just ignorant, pick your poison.

Her hand isn't even on George, its on her own knee, and I doubt she used photoshop after the hate she got last time when she did use it. But the last picture Kate put out had photoshop, and this one from Megan has a lot of photoshop. My point was for any famous person with lots of money - why put out pictures with bad photoshop. They have professional photographers - edit them properly!

By publishing the card, rather than sending it to family and friends, they open themselves to commentary. That they hide their kids’ faces is funny because they can fully hide their kids and themselves if they were smart enough to realize that their attempt at being public figures without talking about the royal family has failed miserably.

But William and Kate put out a picture every year and poor Harry thinks he’s still part of the royal family and wants to keep some of its traditions.

You've never heard of the no-shampoo method. It really is a thing. People are choosing to keep their kids, especially pre-teens, as chemical free as long as possible.

Why show them at all if not showing their faces?

I am not a fan of H and M but who cares if a 4 year olds hair isn't perfect. They are outside and stuck doing a photoshoot.

Her hair isn't disastrous, it is just a bit frizzy.

That doesn't even register for me. She is 4!

No. You need to ask yourself why does a four-year old need to be coiffed. Let a kid be a kid, and not a mini-me mom replica.

Why do you have to make everything a competition? Why can't we just hate on this person without you bringing her in-laws into every conversation? It's not a competition!!!
