The First Haircut


I cut H's hair for the first time this past week. It was getting just a little too long. And it was looking really stringy. She's been on this kick of wearing her hair down, and it was just too much hair hanging down. Plus it got stuck in a sticker (a name tag on her back) and that was the final straw. I had been thinking about doing for a while. Daddy has been saying "cut it" for several weeks.  And so we had our first haircut.  And it was pretty easy to do.  
She did great!  She just sat there - and stayed pretty still.  I put two rubber bands around the locks to save them.  Since this was her first haircut - for ME!  I don't think that the length was ever cut in China.  She did have this weird mid-length that had been cut in China.  So this haircut kind of even things out. 
It ended up being a little shorter than I was planning.  And H did wonder for a minute where her hair went.  She kind of grabbed behind her and made an Eh noise.  But then she was saying it looked pretty!  And her hair grows pretty fast, so it will be long again in no time!  But for now it looks so much healthier.  And more proportional to her size!  And really cute!
