Until recently, my toddler's hair held curl well all over. But now, the curl seems to be falling out more. I don't know if it's because her hair is getting longer (she's 2.75 and has never had a cut) or because it's straightening out (sob!). She won't let me put barrettes or ponytails in it anymore and she looks dishevelled almost all the time. I think it's time to accept that she needs her first haircut. I'm a little terrified of the curl disappearing, but I think I'm at the point that I can handle that.

A couple of questions for parents of curly kids:
-do you take LO to a salon that specializes in curly hair? I have wavy hair, and go to a curly salon--is it crazy to take her there?
-have you ever tried bangs with moderately curly hair? Now that I can't keep barrettes in, her hair is always in her face.
-any other advice?
