Almost 2 years ago, I was thrilled that my beautiful little girl had finally arrived. After 8.5 months of a sore back, huge midsection, and 5 weeks of boring, painful bed rest after quite a little preemie labor scare, I just wanted to dress her up and put little bows in her hair. There was only one problem...my beautiful little girl barely had any hair! She was almost bald in fact, even more so than her brother had been when he first arrived. Soooo...thus began the process of waiting out the hair growth. It was rather slow going. At around 4 months,I was finally able to put a little bow in her hair. I remember being beyond excited that she finally had enough to sort of hold in a teeny tiny bow. The hair growth continued to be slow, and over time we began to see that her hair was mostly straight and almost black in color. Around 9 months, I was able to give her little pig tails that stuck out like little small horns on top of her head. Super cute, but still not requiring much hair. Now on the verge of her second birthday, her seems to be growing at an amazingly fast rate with new growth seemingly everyday she wakes up. In the past few months, her hair has reached the middle of her back already! I did speak to her father about cutting it,but of course there was a resounding "NO!" He wants to let it grow a little bit more before cutting her cute little end curls. She has finally developed a little curl in her ends,and we are pretty sure once the ends are trimmed she'll be back to stick straight hair once again. Now I deal with trying to "tame" her hair and where once there was an impatient sigh at the smooth scalp visible in the light unable to hold in anything fancy and girly, now there is a huge sigh at the thought of taking out the brush and getting it under control and out of her face. My how the times have changed..the hair times that is!
This is what wecall the "natural" look. Some people tend to call it "morning hair"..lol
Wow..look at the amount of taming that went on this particular morning...I must admit..I am good :)
You can really see the length here..can't believe her hair has gotten this long!
