Nanny always puts DD’s hair in pigtails

[Anonymous]

DD is 2.5 and has wavy/curly hair. Nanny said she likes DD to look neat. I appreciate that but why always pigtails? What is wrong with an occasional ponytail?

Is this something I can bring up with the nanny?

Why does it matter?

What’s the problem?

Because she looks cute in pigtails?

Do it your way on the weekends, or get her ready before the nanny comes, if you care about variety. When my girls were younger, some of their nannies were more creative than I about hairstyles. I have to admit I learned a few things!

Women wear ponytails throughout their whole lives. Most women only wear pigtails when they're little girls.THIS IS HER MOMENT.

I prefer pigtails on little girls because the hair tie is closer to the hair line, so it gets a better grip on all the loose baby curls that otherwise fall out while they play.

Just like a pp said, get her ready before nanny arrives, ask her to vary or most importantly, ask her to let the hair loose from time to time, otherwise your dd will get headaches.

Nonsense! No one gets a headache from pigtails unless they are pulled unnaturally tight.

If you don't let loose your hair from time to time, YES you can get a headache from pigtails or ponytail.

I don't think you know what pigtails are. Pigtails are braids...the elastic band is further, not closer to the hairline. Ponytails get the band closer to the hairline.

Pigtails aren't braids, unless they're braided pigtails. Pigtails are two ponytails on the head.

I REMEMBER my scalp hurting every time my mom did my hair in pigtails when I was little.

Then your mother was making them too tight.

I love pigtails on little girls! I like my kids to look neat and clean and hair all over the place doesn’t cut it for me. I wish our nanny was better about doing my girls’ hair!
