If you’re lucky, your little girl will remain bald until she’s two (I know, you desperately want a head full of curls, but trust me, it’s much easier this way!).
If your child is still a baby and you don’t want anything sharp or easy to swallow near her face, look for the cloth-covered barrettes that simply slide into the hair.
Ok, everyone take a deep breath—it’s time for rubber bands. Yes, you are going to have to put your daughter’s hair in a ponytail. Just follow these steps.
They sell these itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny hair bands in packs at target. These are the only size appropriate for fine, baby hair in a tiny little ponytail.
Give her a toy or mirror while you are changing her diaper—if you are putting the ponytail in front, lying down is the easiest position to have your child in.
