Finley's First Haircut

Back in January, I took Finley to get her first haircut of her life. Previously, I had trimmed a little bit from the sides when they would get too long, but that was it.

I wanted them to shorten it into a cute little cut, mostly because she continuously pulls hair things out of her hair and rips what little hair she has out with it.

She liked getting her hair cut and did a good job of holding still. (She likes posing even better!)

A different day, I tried teasing it up a little bit, and I thought it looked cute.

But really, if you're just so cute to begin with, any hairdo would look cute on you, right??

Yes, she even rocks the always stylish "bedhead" look.

A haircut for my boy

My boy had very long hair. And I was getting very tired of trying (and failing, I might add) to style it attractively.

Today was just the last straw.

This was Isaac at the zoo today, and I just couldn't believe how much I disliked his hairstyle, which I admittedly styled myself. It's like he is just so cute, but the hair is ruining it. So I actually took out my clippers and buzzed his hair right off.

Yes, he was so thrilled to get his hair cut.

Doesn't my boy look handsome??

New Haircut

Sareny and I went on Saturday to get our hair cut together. This was only the third time she's had her hair cut, and she did really good. She liked when they shampooed her hair and sat very still on the chair while the lady cut it. We had a fun little girls' outing! :)

It took a bit to convince Sareny that it was okay to get her hair cut because pretty much since she was born she has been trying to grow her hair "long to her bum." The problem is that her hair grows really nicely in the back and really slowly on the sides and top, so she ends up with a tail in the back that doesn't look so great. Kind of like a really long mullet. They took off 3 or 4 inches in the back and basically nothing from the sides.

Her new haircut looks really cute though, and she loves it. Maybe in a few years her hair will be long to her bum like she dreams...
