Not only is Layla a wild child in her actions, but her hair has also been uncontrollable since the day she was born.
I tried many different techniques to tame the wild beast that lives on top of her head.
Clearly, I’m not done yet.

Ha! Love it. People used to tell me that having boys meant I would have it easier with their hair. Maybe, but I know some boys with wild hair and Layla’s certainly was even when short. I like the mohawk the best. ; )

The mohawk is one of my favorites too. I wish I could still do it with her hair.

Hee! Love this, so much!
(Chloe’s hair stood straight up for her first four months, a true sign to her personality which incidentally, I so love!)

I love seeing babies with crazy hair like that. Makes me think they will be a blast growing up.

My family always made fun of me for putting products in my kid’s hair, but theirs were also untame beasts.

I’ve never used product but I probably should have.

I love it! My oldest son’s hair stood STRAIGHT up from the time he was 5 months old until it finally got long enough to lay down. Now, it is thick, coarse, and if I let it get even a little too long, BUSHY. Not a good look!
I love your pics, what a cutie!

OMG she’s so cute!!!
I admit, I love wild hair on children. I really hoped Monkey would have curls, but alas, he has my straight hair.

H had curls until her first hair cut and now her hair is straight. L has a tiny bit of curls at the bottom of her hair but I’m sure they won’t last either.

Just like my Abigail!!
It’s so funny, even the hair on the baby pictures looks the same (She didn’t have curls back then.)
I have given up..

Not much else you can do sometimes.
What a wonderful picture! You have to love hair that floats in mid-air.

It makes for cute pictures, for sure.

When my Kenley was younger her hair stuck straight up like a porcupine. It was rather comical! It’s better, but still quite unruly…like her personality. =)
Love the photos!

Oh my goodness…she is sooooo beautiful , she just makes me giggle. Her hair is wild just like her and I like that about her….having a mind of her own.

There is no telling this kid (or her hair) what to do.

Eh, wild hair, schmild hair. When you’ve got a face as cute as that, neat hair is a minor concern.
Kate recently posted..This post seemed to need a super sexy title, so I decided to go with “Dispatches from Fatty Pregnancyland.”
That’s good because I doubt her hair will ever be tamed.
Oh man, you don’t even know how much I needed this post today.
How scrumptious.
We used to joke about Chunky’s hair. He had the best combover.
I bet he rocked that combover.

Oh my but she is so cute! I love the Pebbles ponytail the best. For some reason you weren’t popping p on my reader anymore. I thought it was strange that you hadn’t posted in so long.
Barbara recently posted..Mommy style
I wonder if it’s because you were subscribed via Google Friend Connect. They discontinued that for WordPress blogs March 1st so any new WP posts won’t show up in your reader if you used GFC for them.
I love that picture of her little tiny ponytail in the shape of a V!
That was the very first ponytail I put in her hair.
Haha, I have a kid whose hair has always been out of control. Love this post!
Aubrey Anne recently posted..Current musical obsession
Maybe one day the wild hair will be tamed.
At least she makes messy hair look good, she is too cute!
Tammi recently posted..For the one who takes my breath way!
She can pull off all sorts of crazy hair styles and outfits because she is cute.
Abbey had a crazy baby spike, too
Silly kids.
Oh, I love that last picture! She’s such a cutie! Her hair has personality, and personality is good, right? Right? lol.
Personality is good and she has plenty of it.

Oh, she is too cute! My daughter had a mohawk for a while (completely natural) and it was adorable.

That’s awesome. Gotta love a kid that gets a natural mohawk.

Ha ha, that’s so cute. Little H’s hair is crazy looking in the morning. All those curls turn into an afro!
Bruna recently posted..old friends, new friends, true friends
I bet they do. My daughter only has a little bit of curl and her morning hair is bad.
The pigtails are so adorable. I keep going back to look at how cute she is.
So Stinkin cute!
Leighann recently posted..Her Survival
Thanks Leighann. I love doing pigtails in her hair (when she will let me).
Hahaha! Her hair does have a mind of it’s own!
Rach (DonutsMama) recently posted..Life’s Lessons: Blogging is Good For You
It really does.
Oh, but what an adorable beast she is!

She is adorable, even if her hair is crazy.

Those are adorable pictures!!! My girls don’t keep hair bows or barettes in. Sometimes they’ll wear hats. They are just starting to let me do their hair – maybe it helps that there is two of them so if one wants her hair styled, then the other does too.

I’m sure that does help. My youngest always wants to be like her big sister.

My Leila can give her a run for her money — what I love is when we manage to get her to keep pigtails in all day long . . . and then take them out . . . there’s this wavy mess that is just spectacular.
Nevermind her bedhead, which is a beast unto itself.
John recently posted..Where I share some insight on making marriage successful
Bedhead is always something crazy. I think my kid gets it from her grandma. Either way, it’s challenging.

Oh my gosh…I love her and her crazy hair! The pigtails on top of her head are classic!
Elena recently posted..Getting My Facial On
I love it when she lets me do pigtails.
These pictures made me laugh out loud! So cute.
Tonya recently posted..My Body
You should see the beast in real life. That would really make you laugh.
