My 6 month old is giving me a mom chop
When I was in the third trimester of pregnancy I decided that instead of a mom chop I was going to dye my hair purple and just rock it. Well my 6 month old daughter has had other plans for my hair.
She been ripping my hair out for a while and no matter how I put it up I always find piece of it in her little hands. I feel bad because I don’t want her to eat it. Also my poor hair. I don’t know what to do other than just silently hoping that it will grow back.

Many new parents face unexpected challenges as they navigate parenting, from those late-night diaper changes to the physical aspects of having a baby. One of these quintessential experiences includes hair tugging, where infants' curiosity can lead to distress for parents. For those with longer hair, this can be particularly daunting. Many mothers share stories of how their little ones have influenced their hairstyles, with some even opting for drastic cuts known affectionately as 'mom chops.' This newfound practicality often arises not only from a desire for easier hair management but also from a playful relationship with their babies. Furthermore, embracing the struggles of postpartum life includes acknowledging hair loss due to hormonal changes post-pregnancy. Learning how to care for one’s hair while demanding schedules can be challenging. Staying connected with online communities or local support groups allows moms to swap tips and experiences, making them feel less alone. Some recommend protective hairstyles, deep conditioning treatments, and regular trims to encourage healthy hair growth. Overall, embracing the journey with humor, shared stories, and proactive care is essential in making this part of motherhood a little easier.
I feel you on the long hair! Do a twist bun then use the wax stick on the bottom of your bun and it will stay in place! I also used it for my daughter for dance to avoid the gel and hair spray!
