You don’t feel like being bothered with their hair
Children’s hair care, especially when you have multiple kids, can feel daunting, and sometimes, you just won’t feel like doing their hair. That’s completely normal. However, the way that we express our frustrations is extremely important. To suggest that you don’t feel like doing your child’s hair because of some specific characteristic of their hair, such as texture or length, can send a damaging message to children that they internalize. A child overhearing their parent or loved one speak negatively about their hair can result in negative feelings about their strands and self-image.
