Toddler hair opinion

[Deleted]

I used the Just For Me curl cream recommended on here and am undecided. It definitely holds the curls together and his hair still feels soft, but his curls aren't uniform. You can see some patches of scalp and there are sort of clumps of curls. I'm going to post a couple of pics. Should I get his hair trimmed a little?

I really like naturallycurly.com. They have some forums you might want to try. I think part of it could be his texture changing. DD went from pin straight hair, to baby fine curls, to a thick kinkier texture and definitely had some awkward phases along the way. I would let it grow a bit, use a lot of deep conditioners, and see if that helps. If you do get it cut, make sure you find someone who is skilled with curly hair.

Babybighair.com is a good website too. They have a lot of boys on there which are underrepresented on a lot of the hair websites and blogs.

I wonder if that is what is going on. He had pin straight hair as an infant, too, and now has baby fine curls with a patch of coarse hair in the very back. I'll grow it some more and keep conditioning, and also check out that site.

Thanks for your info, too, Carrots! I'll look into that as well.

This! No advice here either...but he's so cute!

Thanks! He also has the sweetest personality - full of hugs and kisses and rarely gets upset. The parents of the kids in his daycare class call him the class greeter because he smiles and greets every parent when they walk in the door. I couldn't help but to brag on him a little bit.

We joke that it is inevitable that our next kid will be a nightmare because DS is so stinking easy.

No!!!!! Don't cut his curls!!!!

Buy the " Curly Girl handbook" or Google it...there is a whole section on how to care for children's curls. I never read that part, but I remember seeing a chapter on it

This. He is beyond adorable. !!!!

I'm glad I saw this post & the links! My DD also went from straight hair to serious curls now that it's grown out.

I think the coarse hair in the back is caused by the car seat. D is getting cute curls in the front and sides but the back is straight and I'm sure is because the car seat
