Question 29

Correct shifts in person.
Styling my daughter's hair can be a challenge. Daria hates to have her hair combed, so I have to chase her through the house and catch her in order to begin. I hold her tightly to keep her on the chair. If you loosen your grip, she will bolt for the door. First, you comb out all of the tangles. This always makes her squirm and scream; however, you can't stop. Part her hair in the middle. I make two braids and secure them at the ends with colorful barrettes.
