First Haircut

Friday night we hung out with our friends, the Hinson's. Deborah was a hair stylist before becoming a stay-at-home mom, so we'd been planning all along for her to cut Caroline's hair for the first time. I've been saying she needed a cut for about 6 months, but I always talked myself out of it. It had started to bother her and she was always pushing it out of her face, and since her daddy had affectionately nicknamed her "shaggy" I finally gave in.



This is the before shot. She had a bit of a mullet. Her hair is curly in the back, but it was actually pretty long. When it was wet, it was much longer than it looked like. So, it had become a bit mullet like.





She did not like having her hair cut, although she didn't cry. She just kept turning her head to get away from the scissors and she was very wiggly. Deborah would comb her hair down to cut it and she would push it back. We finally got it done though!



It looks basically the same, just evened up and not so shaggy. Her curls are still in tact, in fact, I think her hair it a bit curlier now. All in all, not the horrible, emotional experience I was expecting. I know it helped that Deborah was the one cutting it---we laughed and had a good time.

I guess it's too much to ask that her hair remain cute and baby like forever? She's growing up so fast!
