Just keep reminding yourself of this! LOL! I get a little panicky when I take ds to get his hair cut - worried that the stylist will cut too much off! Isn't that silly? Why do we have such an attachment to hair?

The funny thing is that, in the past, I have cut my hair really, really short. I've even that of shaving it off. Its growing out now, but with Spring here, I'm getting the itch to cut if off again.

Another mom here to a boy with longish hair. He's growing it out now. We asked him how he wanted his hair, and he said he likes it long so he can play with it. He loved to play with my hair when he was younger, and now will twist his own hair when he's falling asleep.

My younger boy has chin-lengthed hair. We kept it mostly because he has such nice hair. Most of the time it looks like somebody just spent a whole morning styling it to perfection. It's shiney, bouncy, silky soft, curves exactly the right way and never tangles. People think he'a a girl all the time and we take that as compliments. We'll cut it when he asks. I might be sad about it but it is his hair. Who knows, maybe he'd want to look cool and keep it.

I'm having the opposite problem over here. DS is looking rather "ragamuffin" these days. He has a constant rats nest on the back of his head and won't let me come near him with a comb. His hair is so dear and really suits him, but there are days when it really looks ratty... any suggestions? Detanglers? Do they work? Anyone else have a long haired/comb phobic boy?

TIA.

THe best,
Em

Yes! A couple weeks ago, I dared to consider cutting ds' hair for this reason. He seems to go in and out of the don't-you-come-near-me-with-that-brush phase. Honestly, ds loves his hair and when I explained that we need to keep it combed so that is didn't get matted and end up needing to cut the tangles out, he was okay with occassional brushing. I admit, though, he has thin hair so its usually a quick fix. We've never used detanglers. I do schedule somewhat regular visits to our hair dresser though - she gives him a little trim but more importantly, he lets her wash and comb his hair with no fuss!
