Ok ladies, I'm in need of some serious advice here.
My daughter has the most gorgeous, unique curls because of her mixed racial background but they are dreadful to deal with/do anything to.
Her hair has come in like this:
The last 2 pictures are her about 5-6 days after a washing and brush out which is why it's so messy looking. I only brush her hair once a week because it's incredibly time consuming and difficult. I'm planning in timing her weekly hair brush out for the night (or 2 nights) before the wedding, so that her curl can have the best look to them, but I'm at a complete loss on whether I should just leave her hair down and natural on the wedding day, or if I should even bother to attempt a cute hairstyle. I may even just do a plain old ponytail.
Please keep in mind that I am NOT great with hair. I am not a hair guru by any means. It has been a trial and error process as her hair has grown out and gotten thicker and I've still never attempted any kind of "style" because once it's dry, there's no chance I can get it into an elastic, braid, or anything else. Believe it or not, but her hair, when pulled, is almost down to her bum. Her ringlets are so tight though, that the bottom layer in the back is just starting the lay on her shoulders.
Also, keep in mind that again - she is 3 1/2 years old. She will NOT sit still for anything that hurts or takes too long. It's too stressful on both of us. I don't even know where to start in researching what to do with her hair... HELP PLEASE!
And to think - our son (older by 16 months) was born with stick straight hair. Go figure!
