My first two girls had wavy, hard-to-tame hair that sprouted in sprigs from their tangled ponytails. My third girl, however, has a poker straight mop and it’s so different to deal with than the others was. Her hair was always in her face and I finally decided to just get some bangs cut for her instead of trying fight her to pin it back. The hairdresser I usually take the girls to was booked solid, but she offered a spot with her assistant. I hesitantly took the appointment, then reasoned, “It’s kids’ bangs. How hard can it be?”
Well, she butchered them. Brinley actually sat very still while she was trimming, but yeah, it’s bad.
Her new nickname is Lloyd.
Good thing she’s cute. And it is nice to see her eyes again.
Next time I’ll just let my husband trim her bangs with some gardening shears since I think he’d probably do a better job.

It’ll grow back in no time, trust me. i cut my own kids’ hair, because the one time I took the little guy to melonheads & paid them $26 to deal with him, they did not better than me, and it was still a painful experience. now I’ve just learned to bribe him with Muppet movies to make him sit still.

She looks cute as always to me! The thing is with straight hair it really shows every piece missed or slight angle. There are some tricks though, and I can give them a little care when I come if you like – I’ve had lots of practice cutting my own in the land of ridiculously priced everything. Can’t wait to see you!
