Little girls' hair

I spotted this picture of Harry and Meghan with Lilibet and was shocked at the state of her hair. It looks unwashed and matted. Don't they posses a hairbrush?

Then I saw another little girl (someone I know) whose hair was even worse! 😳

Is this a thing now, to just leave the hair unbrushed?

The photo looks blank.

No photo Chestnut.

Chestnut Sat 26-Sept-26 11:04:15

I'll try again

Chestnut Sat 26-Sept-26 11:05:02

Nope, they don't want a picture of Harry and Meghan!

Cossy Sat 26-Sept-26 11:05:43

Don’t bother hahaha

Who cares!! It probably was brushed at the beginning of the day and through play or running around, it’s become somewhat untidy.

She’s 5 years old!

Maybe H&M have scuppered pictures of them, even though they're posted online. Weird.

Is it this one

One of my Granddaughters has hair which would have been prized by Victorians .
I have the same only her hair is blond .
It is so painful to comb through even with a detangling brush .
I hate going to the hairdressers as they rake through the tight ringlets.

Mine doesn’t seem to want to load either! Though it let me save to my photos?

Is it this one

No, and I've looked online for images and it's disappeared! Sorry, it seems to have gone altogether which is even weirder. It was a close up back view, hair hanging down and Harry kissing her.

I just wondered if it was a 'thing' to leave the hair matted and very messy.

I have a niece who has long hair with a cross between kinks, waves and curls.

It is an utter nightmare to wash and dry, takes forever to detangle and can lead to melt downs from her and at times my sister.

As for keeping it neat and tidy, that’s an entirely unachievable goal.

Was it this photo?

Lovely hair but it looks as if it needs a good trim.

Does anyone remember the days when longer hair needed to be tied back or plaited for school? That rule seems to have been abandoned now.

Cossy Sat 26-Sept-26 11:25:05

That photo with the balloons? It that not one that has been queried as being possibly “fake”?

Believe it or not AI tells me there’s many fake photos of the Sussex children online 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Long hair really should be tied back for school otherwise there will soon be head lice on board! 🙄

This is a good guessing game!

Was it this one?

One of my daughters had similar strawberry blond hair. I tried all sorts of brushes and styles, but two minutes later and she looked like the wreck of the Hesperus!

MartavTaurus Sat 26-Sept-26 11:30:44

Bingo!
It must be that onebbecause it won't appear for some reason!

JenniRen Sat 26-Sept-26 11:37:00

This one?

Someone has commented "And still no hairbrush!"

JenniRen Sat 26-Sept-26 11:37:34

Oh, it posted the wrong photo!

This is very odd.

JenniRen Sat 26-Sept-26 11:38:04

Once more .....

Chestnut Sat 26-Sept-26 11:39:12

I've moved it on my computer and will try again.

Chestnut Sat 26-Sept-26 11:40:51

This is so weird. That picture seems to have been blocked, whether by Gransnet or Meghan we don't know!

Cossy Sat 26-Sept-26 11:41:16

Curiouser and curiouser!
