[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am fascinated by parents with perfectly coiffed kids. I have twins. Sometimes they look great and sometimes they are a mess. My thing daughters hair is always brushes but doesn't have the tight ponytail going. Do parents yank their kids hair and hold them down to get that look.

Both my husband and I are academics, so we totally fall into the crunch category. We are anti conspicuous consumption and do get as much possible second hand. [/quote]

I have two year old twins and a newborn and my twins hair is always done and their clothes are clean and cute. I honestly don’t see how this takes more time than what other parents do but maybe I just care more. They get tons of compliments and I love looking back at random pictures and seeing them look so sweet.[/quote]

I'm a boy mom and my kids' hair looks the same no matter what as long as it's somewhat trimmed so I have a question: what do parents mean by girls having hair that is "done?" Braided? Pigtails? Or just combed and a bob?[/quote]

I am talking about boys hair being done. You wet it and comb it and put kids hair product in it to keep it from hanging down in their eyes.[/quote]

I'm guessing this depends on your kids' hair type and the length you keep it.

Yeah my son’s hair has never been in his eyes. We don’t even keep it that short - he’d have to have very long hair for it to be in his eyes at all.

I don’t use any hair products on my boy (he’s 3.5). I think it looks kind of “overdone” when preschool boys come to school with hair gel. [/quote]

I'm a girl mom and had barely even noticed boy's hair. Until this family sat in front of me at the school bleachers. All 3 sons had the shaggiest hair I've ever seen in my life. It looked like a 10 year old cut their hair with scissors. It wasn't even at all and stuck straight up on all of them. The mom was dressed very smartly. I could not figure out what was wrong with this family to let their son's hair look so bad. I hoped they headed to Great Clips right after. Their clothes were a disaster too, but I know kids don't always wear what matches or what the parent wants. [/quote]

I don’t know how old the boys were, but some boy moms really, REALLY resist the first haircut. For me, as soon as my DS’s hair started to look a little mullet-like, he got his first haircut. He was around 15 months. Now his hair looks good because after you cut off the baby hair/curls, it grows in with a better texture and not so fine and prone to tangling. But I have friends who have kids about DS’s age, so between 2.5 and 4 or so, and they have never got their son’s hair cut and it honestly looks pretty insane. [/quote]
