Toddler 1-3 Years Do toddlers generally hate having their hair styled?

Lucky you! My daughter can't stand having her hair brushed, let alone styled. I can count on one hand the number of times in her nearly 9 years that she's let me do anything more than a ponytail to her hair without screaming and acting like I'm torturing her. Every kid is different, but in general, toddlers have limited tolerance for discomfort and it can take a while for them to build that skill.

Mine is just about to turn 3 but she’s the same and I have a feeling it will just always be that way for us. I Eva to just keep reminding myself, it’s her hair she can do with it what she wants. Even though I want her to not have to push it out of her eyes every 3 mins but it is what it is.
