Leave the hair alone....and no one will get hurt.

Dear Mom and Dad of baby girls, a word of advice...

When your daughter is six, and she promises that if you let her take the braids out of her American Girl Doll Kaya's hair, she will be responsible with it, because "Mommy, I will keep it brushed and braided", just. don't. do it. 6 year olds do not work well with doll hair. Especially long doll hair.

Or you will find yourself with this hot mess here.....

 ....soaking her hair all day in fabric softener, draining the fabric softener, brushing, detangling, rinsing, then brushing some more, detangling....then with a dab of coconut oil you will end up brushing for hours on your couch at night when all you really want to do is play Candy Crush.

LEAVE THE BRAIDS IN. TRUST ME, YOU WILL LIVE TO REGRET THE DAY YOU CHANGED THE HAIR!!

On the other hand, I hear I can send Kaya to the AG "hospital" for a "new head" for just $44. Hmmmmm....just think how many candy bopper things I could buy for $44 (not that I would spend money on Candy Crush, haha : )
