It was so curly and tangled we finally cut it short. Then she took dance lessons and was told she couldn't be in the recital unless she had long hair in a bun. I spoke to the teacher and they finally agreed she could slick it back and hold it down with bobby pins. She never took dance lessons again . Her hair is now long but she is grown and takes care of it herself.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12387018788847383474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-85228904845087882602012-04-26T06:43:36.313-06:002012-04-26T06:43:36.313-06:00You gave me heart palpitations!

But now that they are old enough to have an opinion it is a battle to get it to look nice and neat!

I braid it or put it in an easy bun (like you described) most days, because her curls are like some horrible, knotting Velcro and brushing her hair is torture for both of us. Pulling it back keeps it from getting quite as knotted.<br /><br />I wouldn't have had the first idea how to put that bow in, either.Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13747060443039706105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-4952452108716494432012-04-25T19:24:12.486-06:002012-04-25T19:24:12.486-06:00Cute photos!

Of course thats minus the hard stuff like braids. I CAN do perfect I just choose not to. I think Natalie looks beautiful! And I wouldn't have known where that deng bow went either. LilDuck would've wanted on her shoulder attached to the strap of the costume like a corsage.
