Tax-chick, you are totally clueless!
I was born in ‘43, the oldest of seven girls. I learned at my momma’s knee how to make “spit-curls” on my little sisters’ heads. In our family, we took the top hair, spit it good, and then curled it around our fingers into a little wave around our index finger, sticking straight up. Actually did it for family photographs.
Spit curling baby hair is a very old tradition, and is much more “eco-friendly” than hairspray, if you stop to think about it!
Little Piper is only passing on the “old-fashioned” way of making “baby-hair” look cute and groomed.
I am guessing you have no “baby-skills”, and therefore should be pitied.
Nothin’ personal, but that makes me go UNNNGH. Of course, I’ve got mostly boys, and we shave their heads.
With all due respect, and nothing personal at all but... Sorry... I'm with Tax-Chick here... and I have lots of kids.
I really try to avoid using saliva for anything.
(barf)
Sorry. (Really.)
