Actually, the first research I did when you sent me the poem about Saraphina, is to research her /hair/ as a toddler, and how best to care for it. Not because it's political, but because it's incredibly jarring to go from a familiar style to an unfamiliar one, especially for toddlers, who can be terrified for WEEKS after their first haircut.

Mine... not so much... By the way, those child-safe scissors who claim not to cut hair? Lies, all lies.
