The other night, the Babes got her hair stuck in a round brush. She was crying as she tried to pull it out, and cried even more as I tried to help her. Finally she called in the Fixer, aka Daddy. We sometimes call him the Fixer because it seems like he can fix anything.
My husband carefully went to work and gently released each hair from around the brush. Notice the Babes isn't even crying anymore.
How did he do it?
The round brush on the left is what the Babe's hair was wrapped around. My husband used the pointy end of the black comb on the right to separate a few strands at a time.
The Babes was so distraught over her hair before Daddy fixed it, that she cried out "cut it, cut it".
Luckily we didn't have to cut any hair and I'm hoping she learned her lesson and won't try wrapping her hair around a round brush again.
Anyone else have any tricks for fixing hair disasters?

Yes! If you ever get gum in your hair (or if the kids do), or even stuck on their clothing--use peanut butter. The oil in peanut butter dissolves the sticky stuff and will help it detach from wherever it is stuck. Peanut butter also really helps remove the goo left over from old price tags and such. Then you just have to wash away the peanut butter. It's one of my favorite "fix it" solutions :).
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, hasn't every one with a little girl gone thru this. Thank you for sharing with the Clever Chicks Blog Hop this week; I hope you’ll join us again!

Thanks Kathy, I'll try to link up again this week.
DeleteI did the same thing when I was a kid and my family ended up cutting it out...which left an awful hair style since the brush was right up against my scalp. :( That's awesome that your daughter has such patient parents! Great tip for when my kids do the same thing (seems like a rite of passage in childhood, huh?).
ReplyDeleteOh, no, what a hair cut that must have been.

I remember doing this to my hair as a child too! What a painful mess. If my daughter ever does the same, I'll know what to do. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteIt's like a right of passage for little girls, haven't we all tried it? Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteThat is a great idea. Thanks for sharing it at Silver Pennies Sundays.
ReplyDeleteMy oldest just did this the other day (no kidding!) Wish I had read this then. Thanks for sharing on We Made That!
