She said I was teaching them to be materialistic and that it went against modesty. She mentioned that they should be taught that they aren’t objects or dolls that need to be dressed up and beautified. She was saying that I was teaching them that they were objects and weren’t beautiful enough without changing their looks that God gave them.

This is absurd. Every mother has to do their daughter’s hair. It’s not like you are hot curling her hair, using a lot of harsh chemicals, making her wear hair extensions, or puting her in make up and a tiara several times a week…

You are fine to use curlers. She will probably look back on it with fondness just as you do with the memories of your mom.

If I were you, I would not give it anymore thought.
 
I think that is one of the most precious things I’ve ever read. I would not give it one more moment of worry.
 
Yes they are babies. And cutting their hair isn’t an option at the moment. I don’t expect anyone who doesn’t share my husband’s culture to understand that.even if they were boys, they would not have a haircut until 3 years old. It was something I also was not accustomed to when we married, but he has adopted almost everything from my culture and American culture that this seems a very minor thing to do for him. It doesn’t affect my daughters, they enjoy the routine. The older one even brings them to me when she is sleepy. By evening out her curls it keeps the hair from her eyes.
 
It’s practical.
It would be worse if you needed to comb through a nest…that would hurt!

My girls have straight hair and it still takes effort to maintain their hair everyday.

I have to wash and condition it every other day. Plus, I brush and pull their hair into ponytails to keep it out of their face.

They also need their hair cut every few months. It’s all part of general grooming.
 
I had my daughter’s hair put in bangs when she was turning four. They were uneven and in her eyes again by the weekend. Bangs are actually pretty difficult to keep up and expensive if you can’t cut them yourself. I sympathise with the OP because I have multiple textured hair and it can be really difficult to style.
 
Bangs need a lot of maintanence…especially if their hair grows fast. I tried bangs on my middle because she has an awkward natural part…plus, she had gotten into a pair of scissor when she was 2 and cut her hair off. I was hoping it would help even her hair out.

They grew back so fast I would have had to bring her to a hairdresser every couple of weeks for maintainence.

My mom had my sister and I in bangs until we were in middle school and I really hated them.
 
I don’t know why I started them. I’ve always thought they didn’t look great. I guess when she got her first hair cut, I just trusted the judgement of the hair lady. They did look cute that day and the next day. But before long, they were a hot mess. I am not too hot on the curler idea. I could see a nuclear war errupting with my daughter, rather than a bonding moment. But I sure as heck don’t have time or money to be hauling her to the kiddie hairdresser twice a month! I’ve only had my own hair cut three times since my wedding six years ago! Since her hair is so even, I usually do pigtails, either braided or not. The bang fiasco has mostly grown out.
