my boy luvs things over his face....he pulls my hair sooooooooo hard and puts it all over his face and closes his eyes.........he pulls harder when he is tired....he started doing the same with the cat (fluffy) the cat is obviously a sucker for punishment cause he luvs it..............but my head is getting VERY saw.....i have a high pain threshold but he pulls out clumps. he isnt a cuddly boy so this is the close you get but my goodness does he have to be so rough...i tell him to stop and pry his fingers but short of shaving my head i dont know what else to do....oh and he sleeps with a soft toy :) ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Yep it's very normal. Cooper loves pulling Nyah's hair and my hair.
He'll find something else soon to play with. Maybe divert his attention to something else. ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)

Would tying your hair up help? Hopefully it's just a phase because it sounds painful  -------------

Yeah Benjy loved to play with my hair too. He loved running his fingers through it and would get all tangled up.
Was not nice when he learned to pull on it and on his big sister's! The only thing that stopped him for a while was keeping it tied up, out of easy reach, then as Mel said, he soon found something else to play with. ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

| Daniel loves doing that. I don't let him do it anymore. If he starts grabbing I take his fingers out and say no and put him somewhere else for a distraction. |

Ella LOVES playing with my hair- she pulls it quite hard and then starts sucking on it She also loves things over her face/head- she thinks it is the funniest thing ever when I throw a blanket over her and loves playing with all the mailers and throwing them over herself. ------------- Mum to Ella (5) and Tom (2) |

Gina loves playing with my hair but can be a bit rough - however having it tied at the back seems to work here. Maybe try tying a scarf over it? ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">
