doing hair – Mummy To Twins Plus One

Dora and Julia watching the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

The girls are now fans of the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles“. I did think parts of it would be scary for them but they have embraced the action and the Ninja Turtles killing the badies. The twins do things most kids their age do, dress up, play make believe and watch cartoons. Lately the cartoons have been very slanted towards princesses but we do have diet of The Octonauts, Sponge Bob Square Pants, and now the Ninja Turtles.

A couple of weeks ago I bought a Dora doll for both the girls. This Dora doll allows the child to play with different hair styles and brush the hair. Since getting these dolls the girls have brushed Dora’s hair nonstop. You might be asking, what does this have to do with the Ninja Turtles? Well it does.

While the girls watch the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles they brush Dora’s hair, make sure she is cared for and dressed correctly.

It is very interesting. They are busy making sure Dora is looked after while they are yelling at the screen to kill the bad guy. It is a very strange indeed.

Advice Needed:Doing Hair

I never was very clever at doing my hair as a child or even in adult life, so now being asked by two little girls to do their hair is pressure I just don’t need! The girls call a plait a bumpy pony tail and they are very quick to point out that Nana, Grandma and of course Aunty Kay can do it but not you Mummy. Great, I need to get it together with my hair do skills and learn some new tricks.

I do understand what to do with a plait but unfortunately I am un co with actually getting it done. I find it hard to hold all the pieces of hair and also with a child that never keeps her head still is a nightmare! If anything my attempts look messy and it was never the way I intended it to be. On top of this the child or both of them get upset that I cannot do it and it ends in tears.

Today I did the next best thing. I twirled the hair around to make cute pigtails and the hair looks nice and curled. If I do say so I think both the girls look very cute. What do you think?

So I am reaching out to all of you, the Mummy to Twins readers and the lovely people that will come across this on the Internet to send in help and ideas for ways to do little girls hair. Remember I am not very good, so all tips and tricks need to be simple and easy to follow. I get a bit overwhelmed if they are too tricky especially with hair. I do think that the doing hair gene is not in my body as it was all given to my sister otherwise known as Aunty Kay.
