My littlest has some very specific ideas about her hair.

1. It must be long and Rapunzel-like. Cutting is not an option, although she will tolerate a teeny trim every so often.
2. It must be braided every night to guarantee she’ll have some curls in the morning. The number of braids she requires changes on a whim.
3. She’s very opinionated on styles and generally chooses one that she’ll wear indefinitely.
4. Brushing is a dirty word.

This poses a little bit of a problem for momma. Long hair that she prefers to have flowing freely does not mesh well with a super messy wildling who emits ear-piercing shrieks when I try to brush through her tangles.

Luckily, we stumbled across what she calls “fancy piggies.”
