Will / Can my toddler's red hair change color?
"Penny Gaines" wrote in message ... wrote: we have the exact same situation, our daughter also has red hair and neither of us do, but nor did we as children, we keep thinking her hair is changing colour, but it never actually does, I guess she will keep us guessing for a few more years! Ann, how old is your daughter? Do you get comments all the time about her "beautiful hair"? One of my daughter's gets that a lot: she has auburn hair, not bright red, but reddy-brown. The worst place at the hairdressers, where her hair colour is frequently commented on (and my other daughter's hair is mostly ignored: I'm sure they think of them as "the girl with the gorgeous hair, and the other one" :-) ). It's irritating when that happens. #2 has very curly hair-ringletted down to her shoulders. She continuously gets comments on her hair. #1 has gorgeous long hair, down to her waist, wavy, but not very curled and a beautiful thickness. She doesn't get many comments. (they're similar colour). I can't really work it out because #1's hair is fantastic and she can do a lot of different things with it. #2 can only really have a little taken back from her face and I suspect she is going to get very irritated with it when she wants to do anything other than have it loose. She needs it put into a bun for her ballet show at the end of term and I can't think how I'm going to get it all back at all, let alone a bun! Personally I wish that people wouldn't comment on #2's hair. It makes her self-conscious, and #1 has started being aware of her looks and it makes her think that her hair's not right. Debbie |

My ballerina is 17 now, and handles her own long ringletted hair. But when she was younger we learned you start wet, get it into a pony tail, then twist it, now curl it around the base of the pony tail using bobby pins every inch or so. Once you sort of have it in a bun shaped look you slap one of those cheap hairnets that come in her hair color you get at the drug store. Pull the hair net out, twist it, cover the bun again. Continue until all the netting is on the bun. For my daughter's hair it was two or three layers. Then start with the bobby pins again. Fifty bobby pins isn't too many. Now, with gel, slick back the hair that got free from the front. Bobby pin again. Now pull out the hair spray. Cheap hair spray like Aqua Net works bets. Spray the whole head until hard. It's never fallen out. |

I think I've gel from #1's last show, but the spray she had wasn't very good. Off to the chemists! Debbie |

Neither my wife nor I have red hair so we were really surprised when our daughter was born with red hair. She's now 18 months and it's still red. My mom says my hair was red when I was a baby and then it went blonde and then brown and now it's very dark. So we're debating if our daughter's hair will change color or not. Everyone loves her red hair so we're hoping it doesn't change. hey if ur mom saying u were like her when u were a baby then dont wory most probably its heridity but still log into http://www.mybaby.com/Playground/Type/Post for more advice as its a large community of young mothers they might just have some remedy. |

She was born with dark hair, then when she was a couple months old it all fell out and grew back blonde. Now that she is 10, it is getting darker and darker again. That's not what happened with me. My son was one of my two children who was born with hair. (Bald is easier on the mom BTW even while people think they are boys because of it.) Both of them had dark hair when born. DS did not lose his hair. It actually grew in lighter. He had blond roots. He was blond throughout childhood. Now it is medium brown.

If you get those ones that are really cheap at say, Longs or WalGreens, they come in lots of colors, and you can sort of match the color of their hair. Then you can't see them at all. |

Hi Em, my wife is half Chinese so like you, saying we were surprised was an understatement! My wife says when she's out in public with out daughter that people were thinking she was the babysitter! Oh yes, I get this all the time. People ask me if I'm the nanny (there are *lots* of nannies around here). I used to get annoyed, until I saw another dark-haired dark-skinned woman with a very fair child at the doctor's office. *I* almost asked her whose kid it was... (He was hers.) Our second has dark hair with reddish highlights; it's getting lighter, but it's nothing like his brother's.
