Re: 's casting pictures Taryn to

[Guest guest]

Taryn,

Your very welcome! got her first band at 11 months and one

week. As you know has a lot of hair too. I've never cut my

girls hair. My oldest didn't get her first hair cut until she was 6!!

And that was only a trim. Anyway, my OT said I didn't have to cut

's hair. (I don't think I would of anyway) but just to keep it

off of her forehead when her band is on. The one time it was on her

forehead, it did irritate it. So just keep as much hair as you can

out of the front of the band.
