Good, easy website or book for little girl hairstyles?

DD has shoulder length, fairly thick hair with a slight wave, and is a
dinosaur addict. She's started requesting dinosaur hairdos. I can manage
creating tails, various numbers of "horns" (pigtails) and so on, but I admit
that some of her requests have me saying "Let me look that up".

I'm hoping that if I see some different hairstyles, appropriate for a 3 yr
old, I'll get ideas sparking on how to create "Pachycephalosaurus caps" and
"Dimetrodon sails"!

Good luck on that one. We just do Stephanie's ponytail from the book
of the same name.

Are you really sure you want to go down that endless road?
The statements "No" and "Mom can't do that, sorry" and "You can't always
get what you want" will serve you very well during the next decade and a
half.
If you are determined to be a slave to your childs whims, ask your
hairdresser. They've heard everything.

I don't think that's fair. Wanting to give a child something she wants does
not automatically make one a slave to one's child's whims. Don't you ever
do anything for your child that your child requests? Does that make you a
slave?

It sounds like OP is taking great pleasure in pursuing this hairdo
adventure. If she was doing it as a chore out of a sense of duty and
obligation, I might agree with you. As it stands, I see no problem in going
all out as she intends.

The way I see it is that by playing along with her fantasy, I'm getting her
hair up in ways that are cooler and better for play for her, easier for me
because then her hair isn't as tangled, without her fussing and complaining.
And given the number of princesses, little mermaids, faeries, spidermen, and
ninja turtles I've taught in my preschool music classes, it seems pretty
normal for little kids to like to jump in and out of characters. For my DD,
her current interest, and the characters she likes, are dinosaurs. But her
toy dinosaurs have parties, go to prince Charmasaurus's ball, go to dinosaur
school, play Supersaurus, and play soccer. Her wanting "horns" or a "tail"
when I do her hair seems to fit in with that, and I don't see it any more
different than my friend's preschooler wanting her Dora shirt or hair clip.
I doubt seriously that she'll still be asking for dinosaur hairdos even in a
year. I'm not going to buy the entire Imaginext section at Toys R Us, even
though she has a long wishlist of dinos she wants, and I'm not going to
redecorate her room in dinosaurs. But I don't think calling her ponytail a
"pterosaur crest" is a big deal.
