Nice to hear I am not alone. I think elastics are the way to go!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-hairstylesproblems#post-2301091 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 15:05:59 +0000 birdofafeather 2301091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use the cheap elastics too, but put a barrette in as well because her hair is all over the place. They've only lost one actually! She goes all day 2x a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-hairstylesproblems#post-2301046 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 14:36:57 +0000 Sparkler 2301046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's totally normal! I use the little elastics, but unless she is with me all day, my daughter NEVER keeps them in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-hairstylesproblems#post-2301040 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 14:33:40 +0000 mauxie 2301040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think if it's impt to you, you should talk to the teacher. Our teachers are good about making sure accessories like that go home with the right kid. Though, this sometimes means if it falls off once, they just stick it in the kid's cubby. They have the tiny elastics at school and will tie up bangs/hair if it seems bothersome for the kids. My DD has fine hair too and I usually just use the elastics. She pulls the cute pins out on the drive to school so it's pointless, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-hairstylesproblems#post-2301031 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 14:29:25 +0000 daniellemybelle 2301031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always sent my LO in bows or headbands and I know she pulled them out or messed with them but I can only think of maybe a couple times that they got lost. Any time I picked her up early they always would fuss with her hair before handing her back to me :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-hairstylesproblems#post-2300702 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 10:42:00 +0000 avivoca 2300702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do the cheap rubber elastics. I think they were $5 for 500 of them at Target. She can't pull them out. </p> <p>I will say that she got better with keeping bows/clips in her hair around 23 months, so now we can send them and they stay in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-hairstylesproblems#post-2300691 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 10:30:39 +0000 catlady 2300691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also just do cheap little elastics. I also keep a bunch of extra ones there in a plastic bag. We went through the same thing at first with our cute barrettes and bows. Like, she would have someone else's bow on at the end of the day and I'd try to give it back to the teacher and they would tell me that I was wrong and it actually did belong to my LO (as if I wouldn't know?). Even now, sometimes she comes home with hair elastics I've never seen before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-hairstylesproblems#post-2300479 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 08:36:22 +0000 mediagirl 2300479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@teawithpaloma: we cut bangs just before age 2 because of the hair problem. Hair ties and clippies wouldn't stay in her hair. When my husband picks her up, I make sure he knows what clip she had in her hair so he can make sure we go home with it. We just ask the teachers for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-hairstylesproblems#post-2300382 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 07:54:57 +0000 lamariniere 2300382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just use little elastics and cheap clips to keep the front hairs out of her face. I don't ever send her in bows, since I know they will likely be lost. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-hairstylesproblems#post-2300377 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 07:51:49 +0000 Mamaof2 2300377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@teawithpaloma: normal to me! Sometimes her hair clips would be in her lunch bag and other times they were gone - I started buying cheapie clips so if they got lost I didn't care. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-hairstylesproblems#post-2300141 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 21:15:45 +0000 Corduroy 2300141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@teawithpaloma: You're not alone. We end up with different barrettes &amp; ties all the time and ours go missing. I just put the random ones back in LOs backpack and don't send the nice ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-hairstylesproblems#post-2300105 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 20:58:32 +0000 Smurfette 2300105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Little elastics. She would rip them out so we sent a bag with her and her teacher could fix it after nap. We also started giving her a treat when she leaves her ponys in all day. After a couple weeks she left them in and wouldn't ask for the treat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-hairstylesproblems#post-2300103 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 20:56:39 +0000 sunny 2300103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@teawithpaloma: nope. She's 3 now and still doesn't have bangs! We still tie up her hair in a side pony or do a small braid. It gets a little messy by the end of the day, but it doesn't bother me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-hairstylesproblems#post-2300100 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 20:54:24 +0000 regberadaisy 2300100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it'll be next to impossible for them to keep track of pretty hair bows. When I have the time and she lets me I just use tiny elastics. Half the time she pulls them out anyway. Especially at the younger toddler age she never let me put her hair up. She always looks a mess! LOL</p> <p>My daughter has super fine thin hair and when it was finally long enough I cut bangs and it helps tremendously. Now it looks kinda cute even when her hair is down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-hairstylesproblems#post-2300090 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 20:48:13 +0000 teawithpaloma 2300090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: I do late losing them!</p> <p>@sunny: did you ever cut bangs for your fine haired girl? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-hairstylesproblems#post-2300087 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 20:47:12 +0000 sunny 2300087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter has fine hair and we use tiny elastics to make a little ponytail. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-hairstylesproblems#post-2300081 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 20:44:18 +0000 shopaholic 2300081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have experience with daycare, but I'd probably just use the little elastic hair ties and not send her with pretty bows. I'd just hate to lose them and the elastic ties hold little, fine hair pretty well. We did a side-partial pony and/or braid for a long time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-hairstylesproblems#post-2300032 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 20:30:14 +0000 teawithpaloma 2300032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 18 month old daughter had thin hair and we haven't cut bangs yet so she needs it tied up (HairTidy) or a barrette holding it back. She started going to a new center based daycare last month and they have been routinely losing all of her barrettes or hair tidies by the end of the day. Today I send her with one big poofy pink barrette and I picked her up with a purple hair tie in the front that isn't ours!</p> <p>Is this normal? Any suggestions on something I can send her with that she can't pull out? Should I talk to the teacher? I don't have overly particular standards of grooming but I don't think she should be disheveled at the end of the day. </p>
