at what age?

did you first curl your daughter's hair? I have a hard time thinking of using an iron on my baby's hair but my family tells me she is fine. She is 3 in April.

I'm a professional hairstylist, and using hot tools on children that age even makes ME nervous! I don't blame you...

I haven't. She'll be 5 in July, I've had no reason.

Why not use those foam rollers? Sally's, Wal-Mart, and I think even Dollar Tree carry them..No heat, and she could sleep in them overnight.

Just for fun one night I wanted to see if I could curl DD's hair (she is 3) It didnt hold at all so I gave up. Her hair is just so thin I cant imagine doing much of anything to it.

That is a much better option!!

My cousin curls her almost 3 year olds hair. I couldn't imagine doing it to DD because I know when she's older, she will put her hair through so much bullsmurf. Why would I want to give her a head start ? If I wanted to do it for something important like pictures, holiday, wedding etc I would just use rollers

I started curling my nieces at about 2.

Quoting Asher and Haddie's Mommy:" That is a much better option!!"

Yeah. That and I think they are easier than using a curling iron. My mom used to do mine with the foam ones all the time. They have different sizes too  

Also, my hair refuses to hold a curl if I use heat..But if I put foam rollers in when it's damp and sleep in them, the curls stay longer..

that is very clever. I just do not want to damage her soft hair lol

I used to use rags and twist her hair.

It really is like downy at that age and very, VERY easy to singe.

Def not! Lol..It'll be hard enough when she's a teenager and wants to dye her hair 23587 times and use straighteners/blow dry/curling iron/etc lol, and not do it properly. Then damage it and cry lol  

My daughter will be four and loves it! She watches her aunt an I do it all the time here's a picture sorry I'm on my phone though.

My 2 year old has crazy curly hair, I've straightened it a couple of times, she's had a natural mullet lol
I realllly don't like her curls, I hope they grow out :-/
