I am a hairstylist and even then I struggled to know what to do with Q's hair. It's short, and super fine. All of the Instagram pages I followed for hair ideas show styles with long, super think, lushes hair... and I was stumped! So if you are in the same boat I hope by me sharing these styles and whys I've adapted styles to work for us that it will help you too!!
I get asked often how I am able to do these hairstyles on Q and have her stay still for them. She is supper wiggly and always on the go... so to answer that question... I don't keep her still.
However the best tip I have for you is to make it a daily routine and have distractions. I usually do her hair while she is eating breakfast. I let he watch a show or play with toys too. And some days I am even chasing her around the house, which is why I haven't filmed any tutorials yet!
Also I have a hair kit that I keep in my kitchen that has everything I need in it to quickly do her hair- It's like my tackle box for her hair.
In it I have-
- Clear elastics and color elastics- I like the Proclaim rubber brands- they are cheapest at Sally's Beauty
-Topsy Tail Tool- I use the smaller one a lot on Q's hair
-Spray Gel- I really like this Herbal Essences one, it's light weight and smells good
- A Pony Pick- This is a life savor when you have to take the elastics out of the hair.
- Alligator hair clips- I don't use these very often on Q's hair but I use them a lot on my hair or thinker hair.
I also have an assortment of bows and clips that I try to switch out often. My favorite shops for bows are- Little Poppy and Co, Alicejaneco , Honey & Co Hair Accessories, and Nova + Rosie Handmade bows
The only thing I can't fit in this kit is the spray water bottle that I use but I think if I bought one that was skinny I could get it to work.
I hope this helps you! Make sure you follow along on Instagram for our latest hair styles and if you recreate any of these looks please share with the hashtag #flickertoddlerhairstyle or #flickersofhope
