Buba’s New Hairdo

Neither of my kids had much hair for the entire first year, but Buba’s seemed to come in even more slowly than Tiny’s. Both had fine, straight hair at first, but some where around 15 months, Tiny’s began to curl up and require more combing and detangling. So I didn’t mind that Buba’s hair stayed straight because it was so low-maintenance. If only it could have stayed that way…

Not only is it now curly, but it’s crazy, all over the place curly. And there’s really not much I can do about it. I’ve tried using some detangler and smoothing it down on his head, but unless he stays still while it’s drying, the curls pop back into place within minutes.

I’ve mentioned to T that I’d like to take him to get it cut, as it’s quite long around the ears, and perhaps that might neaten it up a bit. But T is against that idea. He likes Buba’s hair the way it is and says the shaggy look is back in.

I’m not sure who will win this debate, but until it’s settled, I think we may need to get Buba a cute little hat.
