I love playing with the boys hair, and one of my favorite do's is the little mo-hawk curl on top, but it's not one of my husbands favorite so I play around with their hair all the time trying to find new ways to do it. This has been fun but not all around successful.
Here are the results of a little tiny curling iron.
This is from my small straightener. I tried to do curly spikes on the top of their head. Held in well, but did not look all too well.
We decided to stick with the curly Mohawk do. But I've recently discovered that a little curly Q in front looks just as cute, and also receives my husbands approval.
Here are some of the best ways I've found to get that hair to stay the way I want it too:
The boys have discovered that their breakfast food helps hair hold it's shape really well. Especially Gogurts.
Baby lotion works pretty well. I'd use this and just curl the top with my fingers. though I found that when it's hot outside the baby lotion can fall flat. But it's a good way to get their hair done, and not have to deal with the sticky crustiness of gel.
We do use gel, however, when we got to get pictures done. In fact we use it a good majority of the time now. I used to put the gel in, curl the top with my fingers and then brush of the back so it would curl. But not I put the gel in, curl the top with my straightener- I've found this to be an easy way to curl their hair, and it holds, and looks nice- and then comb the sides and the back. But beware nap time can do scary things to hair that has gel in it.
If we've used gel and didn't give them a bath the next morning I get their hair wet and re-curl it with a comb. It looks decent and the left over gel helps it to hold up.
