DS is obsessed with my hair!

DS is 28 months old and has developed an aversion to my hair being held back in a scrunchie. He screams 'hair' continually when it's like this. I don't give in and he usually goes off and plays quite happily till he realises its still like it. Oh and if he can reach he'll yank it out! My hair is just below shoulder length if that makes any difference!

Any ideas???

Yes, my ds2 was/is the same. From about 6 months he used to twiddle and chew my hair when he was tired, and even now he's 3.4 he objects to it being tied up. I've had it cut from shoulder length to short bob but still he chews it at every opportunity.
I don't have any solutions, but £5 says his first proper girlfriend will have long hair!

Yes my DS was just the same, he's three next month and he's not so bothered now, but he definitely would get upset if my hair was tied back, this was around 18months/2yrs. Funny it seems to be boys that have this thing!

ds is the same! he loves playing with my hair and if I dare putting a scrunchy in 'attack'. I think he thinks it's a game.

Also sometimes when I cuddle up with him at night when he's unsettled he plays with my hair even if he's asleep.

Must be a boy thing
