How do I avoid a comb-over?

psychdoc12 · May 2014

Any bumpies with girls have a comb-over hairstyle going on? Any ideas on other ways to style hair that is long on top and still growing in in the back? PIP is a plus.

I guess D basically has a comb-over. I've tried to part in the middle, but it's just to short on the one side. Sorry I'm no help to you.

Here's my LO's comb-over

Jalee85 · May 2014

It doesn't always stay there. I often have to use a barrette.

I do need more headbands, she's outgrown the ones we have.

Jalee85 · May 2014

This is what I usually do. My hope is to one day barrette both sides. I'm trying really hard to avoid bangs. It may end up happening though...

I love the combover. We brush her hair to look just like daddy's!

@missgpsu‌ how do you get them to stay on? They never seem to stay put for us.

D is in the 100th percentile for head girth. Maybe I just need to try different headbands.

I say, embrace the comb over and be thankful your LO has hair. My baldie is jealous!

I think it's inevitable. My LOs hair is too short for a clip and she rips bows off her head. What's a mom to do? It does nothing but fluff up at the moment!

I always attempt to contain her fuzz with a comb over. No such luck.

I'm also a fan of baby side parts!

Frizzy messy hair! This is her hair 5mins after we brush it

We embrace it here.

It's hard ... Comb over here as well but I played w her hair this weekend.

Ours just sticks up! No avoiding it.

We do the comb-over as well. I don't know how DD's hair grows the way it does. It's really long right in the front, and then she has a receding hair line on the sides. We usually comb it over towards her right side.

I'll post pictures if I can find some.

ETA: Found some, although her hair isn't combed over very well in these.

I have a boy but he has SO much hair...we went through the comb over stage, now were in the Conan O'Brian flip stage in the back...if he was a girl he would have a ponytail on the top of his head, I've tried it I'm not gonna lie lol DH also put a headband in his hair and said he looked like a soccer player haha!

Olivia is still a little baldy. That's how I avoid it. :-??

We were doing the side part comb over until she started looking all hobbit-like and her hair got long enough that it literally was dragging in her eyes. Now I put a ponytail on the top of the head. No pics at the moment, but there's one of her in pigtails in my siggy--just imagine one on top instead.
