RAISE your hand if you have a little toddler with CRAZY hair!
Kinda like this...

as captured in this photo!
WELL...after experimenting with the little hair that Reagan has...I have come up with 15 different hair styles that will work for YOUR crazy toddlers too!
BUT there is a BIT of a DISCLAIMER!...
I will explain at the end of the post!!
LET'S LOOK AT ALL THE FUN THINGS YOU CAN DO WITH YOUR TODDLERS HAIR FIRST!!!

13. {TWISTED BACK PIGTAIL BUNS}
14. {MIDDLE TWISTED PIGTAILS}
15. {SIDE TWISTED PONY WITH SCRUNCHED HAIR}
NOW for the DISCLAIMERS....
1. Distractions are a MUST! Some of Reagan's favorites...floss, makeup, water, contact cases, rubber bands! I've noticed that things only keep her occupied for like 2 minutes or LESS before she needs something different.
2. You HAVE to be able to do hair while your toddlers on the move...although I ALWAYS put her on the counter...she tends to scoot around EVERYWHERE...it takes some time to learn but I've become a PRO at making a perfect middle part or finishing off a rubber band while she reaches for a light switch.
3. Make sure no one has a tape recorder close...Jeff will sit on the couch and laugh while he listens to the conversations (more like arguments) Reagan and I have while I'm doing her hair...let's just say some of the 'conversation' aren't full of sweet, endearing words. I have learned a lot of patience!
4. GRAB YOUR MAKEUP and RUN!! Sometimes I won't take my makeup organizer off the counter and I'm ALWAYS wishing I had...you should see my sink TODAY!...it's covered in sparkly brown eyeshadow!
5. You HAVE to be OK with your bathroom looking like this when you're done! Some of these hairstyles take...let's just say...a WHILE and AFTER all the distractions are used up and spit out...your bathroom will look like THIS!...but don't worry...take your pumpkin off the counter...give yourself a pat on the back for doing your little girls hair AMAZINGLY...take a deep breathe and clean up your mess!!
6. LAST but NOT least...meltdowns WILL happen...from YOU and HER...those are the days that you resort to a side pony and call it good!
Right about now your probably thinking..."umm...that is WAY to much work...I'm good with something simple everyday."
BUT I promise it's worth it...or at least I think so!
