…”Yeah yeah, blah de blah Mam. My hair is NOT long see, and if it was, see, you would have to brush it and that would hurt”.
Point well said Evie, I’ll concede that one.

Your enchanted castle needs what I’ve discovered…it is called the “magic brush,” and it is a beautiful thing!
(Actually, it’s quite ugly, and it’s boar bristle…but it makes it so that my 8-year-old doesn’t shriek every time I approach her with a brush!)
Good luck to your Rapunzel. And to you, Mom! π

lol, Evie is right! I used to have very long hair as a young girl, and not only did it hurt like crazy having it brushed or put in french braids, but it nearly drowned me in the bathtub! Too much weight for a 50 lb kid.

Well sketched! The drawing reminds me of my old childhood days where me too had those collection of doodles at the back portion of my lecture notebooks.
But the tower seemed to be very narrow. Was there still a room left for her hair?
I think her hair needs brushing, indeed. It’s kinda frizzy at all π

I did also, my mom ended up getting fed up with me running away from her when she had a brush in her hand, so she just told me I had to take care of it myself. I got my hair cut short 3 days after that.

Nice Drawing ! This something that all moms and daughters can relate to. I used to hate it when my mom used to comb my hair. I really couldn’t stand it. I would just cry my litte heart out. I would always pout and say to my mom I’ll be glad when I get old enough to do my own hair and my mom would always reply back good I’ll be glad when you’re old enough too.
Has anyone been in a situation where it was time to get your hair combed and in the middle of proccess you start to cry and you’re mother, or grandmother would pop you with the comb or bursh to shut up from crying ?

Oh boy does that bring back memories! My Mother adored my long hair. She unfortunately left my brother and me with our aunt and uncle for the summer so she could work. My aunt has six children of her own and needless to say we were always getting into stuff best left alone – he-he π We once had a sand fight and my uncles conclusion to this was that we all had lice! My uncle then proceeded to put our hair in pony tails and with one chop it was gone. I can still see her face at the end of the summer while she stared at the pony tail of hair that my uncle was thoughtful enough to keep for her! Best of luck to you π

Can’t wait to chop my girls’ hair all off! I’ve only let them grow it long for one simple reason – they are going to donate it to a great cause! http://wigsforkidsbc.com/
Knowing the hair is going to a kid in need makes me very tolerant of the constant whine when it’s time to comb or brush.

I used to hate having my hair brushed. It was thick so it was always SO tuggy. “You can brush it later Mum” I’d always say. Then, my Mum would appear two seconds later with a hair brush.. “Mum I said LATER”.. “Yeah, this IS later!”. Ha ha. I hated my long hair then but I miss it now!

I had long golden curls… then my Mum chopped it all (exagguration) off when I was distracted watching Bananas In Pyjamas.
Bitch >>; I cried.
Although I don’t know how I didn’t realise what she was doing when I was sitting on the kitchen table with her behind me holding a pair of scissors.
Another hair story : When I was probably younger than the hair-cutting incident, my Mum went to the hairdressers and got her hair cut/permed and we sat in the car waiting, and when she came back I started bawling and yelling and said she wasn’t my mother.
I have change issues, obv.

Oh this brings back some memories. Havine been blessed (???) with radiculously curly hair I remember my mum having to chase me round the house trying to get it brushed. I have since discovered tangle teaser (this might not be the correct name) from my hairdresser apparently it was on dragon’s Den but didn’t get any money. It’s like a brush that you would use to brush a horse’s mane and goes through my thick curly mop with ease.
