How can I get my daughter to like getting her hair brushed and "done"?

SHe's 4 years old and hates it!! she's never liked it.. since she's in preschool I would think she would want to by now since the other little girls go in with their cute barrettes and stuff..



she requests only "one!" ponytail...I always want to do lil fancy things on her she refuses..

This reminded me of the skirmishes (couldn閳ユ獩 call them battles) I had with my daughter when she was younger. She didn閳ユ獩 like her hair brushed when it was tangled but eventually she gave in and we could get the tangles out. I remember we bought something at the shop that was a spray-on de-tangler that had some magical liquid that untangling her hair.



Have heart, today she has waist length hair that she brushes everyday and sometimes even asks me to brush and braid. I am glad the hair fights are over but I miss the time I spent brushing her hair and trying new hairdos (her favorite was some-up, some-down). Thank you for the trip down memory lane.



Things do get better....

My 4 year old is the same, except she won't even agree to one ponytail. I have to keep her hair short so it stays tidy looking. There's not really much you can do to convince her if she's not into it. Try letting her brush it and then you can finish it, let her pick her own barrettes out in the store and the ones she wants in her hair (if any) every morning. My daughter often attends playschool wearing a pink outift and one orange and one green barrette in her hair....

HA HA HA HA ... that's a trick question. Most little girls don't like getting their hair brushed. You may want to try and buy a detangling spray so you don't pull on the tangles in her hair. Those can hurt. Also, involve her. Have her pick out the barrettes for it or ask her what shes' in the mood to put in it (braid, ponytail, out, etc.) It'll be more fun for her that way.



Good luck!

Don't force her to have her hair done. My daughter was very tenderheaded so getting her hair done was torture to her. She is now 7 years old and allows me to do whatever I want to her hair. She used to hate hairbows and such, but now she has a huge collection and picks them out on a daily basis. Children have their own likes and dislikes and I try to respect them within reason of course.

Tell her that you want to do her hair like a real princess. Mine didn't want to wear headband, so I told her that it's a crown and would say "oh, do you want to be a princess today and wear a crown?" Or I tell her that so and so told me how pretty she looked with a certain hairstyle. After I do her hair, I always put her in front of the mirror and show her the end result and comment on how nice and pretty it is and how the hair barrets match nicely with her utfit........

I'd let her have her ponytail. Soon enough you'll have a very pick and high maintenance teenager who wants to go buy Aveda products, Lancome make-up, $50 hair cuts, etc. Besides--a pony tail is probably more comfortable for her since she's 4 and (more than likely) very active. I often feel sorry for the little girls I see who have their hair tightly braided, done up in barrettes, etc.

All little girls are like this. I was like that and so were my sisters.She will do it eventually

Tell her that if she doesn't brush her hair it'll all fall out and she'll be bald.



How can I get my daughter to like getting her hair brushed and "done"?

I started with my daughter around 15 months, I went and got one of those plastic crayon boxes wrote on it : Haley's Pretty Box" and then we fillded it with " hair prettys" pony tail holders clips you name it. Also I got her own small hair brush. She loves to have her hair done most of the time. I would let your 4 yr old pick her own prettys out and try that good luck. Haley is now 2.

It depends on why she doesn't like it.



If she's tenderheaded make sure she's using a conditioner in the bath, and buy a detangler. L'Oreal has a good detangler spray. Also try using a comb instead of a brush. They are alot less painful for the child. My foster sister was tenderheaded and we found that the comb I've linked in my sources was the best for her because it didn't tug quite as hard.



It may also just be her taste. She may just really like her hair in a pony tail, be glad you have a daughter who doesn't let other people decide what she should look like. In that case look at pictures of hairstyles and have her help pick out little clips that she likes. Try to find some updos that only involve one ponytail. I've always liked the messy buns, and you can add a headbands and clips to the front to make it more girly.

How can I get my daughter to like getting her hair brushed and "done"?

My 2 year daughter doesn't like her hair to be brushed either so I let her pick out her hair barrettes and she lets me do it because she knows that the barrettes that she picked out are going to be in her hair. I also let her see her hair in the mirror after she's done to let her see how pretty she looks with her hair done. It may just be you also because most of the time she won't let me do her hair but she has no problem when my sister or cousin does her hair, she sits quietly but with me she squirms and cries.

Do your hair first. Ask her if she wants to be pretty like mommy. My four year old cousin is the opposite. She loves to have her hair done. Sounds nice doesn't it? She loves having her hair done so much that a few minutes after I do it, she un-does it and asks me to do it again.
