OK so I don't have a book yet to shamelessly promote. hee hee
Once again today I am on ponytail patrol. Of course when her dad (my son) drops her off at 6 in the morning there are none there. Her Grandmother leaves at about the same time so that leaves good old Grandpa for the duties. The girl seems to love ponytails and pigtails. Pigtails are just twice the work as far as I'm concerned. lol
My dilemma is this. Since I am far from an expert at putting them in. If I put them in too loose then they fall out the first time she jumps around. Four year old's have a tendency to jump around a lot. (Duh do you think. lol ) If I try to put them in tight it causes hair pulling. Ouch! I am not the sadistic type. I hate to cause her pain. Oh well one thing for sure. I'm getting a lot of practice. lol

Here is my thoughts on ponytails, and its just a thought, we use the cloth ties for ponytail, they don't pull and well you can make them as snug as you want and not pull her hair. We use them all the time for Cheyenne and she loves them.
Ash!
Thanks I will try that. My thoughts maybe different colors of cloth so she can pick a color. Thanks Ash
Exactly!
Walmart has them in the hair department and they have the cloth bands in different sizes. We get the bigger size but its whatever you are comfy with. Good Luck!
Ash!
My solution for long hair ponytail - scrunchies! Absolutely great hold without the tug. Works especially well when in velvet, I have no idea why!
And Gary - practise makes perfect. Get the girls to leave a Barbie around and practise ponytail on the doll. If you do get it right on such a tiny bit of plastic, you'll have mastered the art even on a perpetually-moving 4 year old!
Hang tight Grandpa!
Hugs
Thanks Z. Your right practice makes perfect. I have gotten a lot of suggestions here. Scrunchies is a good one. And yes I even know what a Scrunchie is. lol
