I miss dudelet's curls. Of course, it meant that he was universally recognised as a girl wherever he went. It wasn't the incoming gender dysfunction that finally drove supermum to take him to her hairdressers one day, though - it was the incredible amount of tangles and knots his hair managed to continually get into. Bathtime was a nightmare! Especially since he'd just refuse to have his hair brushed. Ever. Unless one of us was holding him down.
The secret is a book: Curly Girl. It is hugely excellent. The main trick is minimal shampoo, use conditioner (yep, even on a 2-year-old), comb it through, and leave it in.
It's not that we never have fights about hair, but way, way less than those curls would make you think.

Aww...have you cut her hair?
What a beautiful head of hair!
Magpie, nope, not since she was born! It just looks shorter when it's not in ponytails.
Jo(e), thanks!
That's some nice curl there. Too bad it comes with "I don't want to brush my hair" tantrums. Tradeoffs, you know...

If you don't already know: Johnson's & Johnson's No More tangles changed my relationship with my mother.
