My 15 month old won't let me tie his hair back, always pulls out the rubberband and his hair always hangs in his eyes. What do I do?

my toddler also doesn't let me put his hair in a ponytail. He yanks at his hair, crying, until I take it out. You just have to do the best you can with clips.

Most 15 mnth old unless bribed or punished, do not like having their hair tied back. Please show me one that actually enjoys it without bribery of any sort Twisted Evil

When I do my 15 month old daughters hair, I put her on the bathroom sink, give her her toothbrush, let her brush her teeth while I do her hair. She is distracted, so she doesn't mind me doing her hair. Pulling it out after is another story. Although, I found that if I use the small rubberbands for babies hair she can't get them out.
