Our team hairstyle is a front side french braid back to a crown pony tail. The pony tail has to be tightly curled in ringlets. My kid has long thick hair, and she does not want to cut it. It takes me 2.5 hours to curl her hair, another 1/2 hour to take the curlers out, and another 1/2 hour to get the french braid and pony tail set. She has to sleep in the curlers to make this work, and she doesnt sleep well with them in.
I think this hairstyle is taking up too much time and that her sleep is more important than the curls. I could cut her hair, and that would shave about 45 minutes off of the process, I'm guessing. She doesn't want to cut it. My other options are to just go rogue and do different hair, or to complain about the hair. I'm worried that I'd be well on my way to being labeled as one of the crazy parents to complain about something like hair.
Any thoughts?
