Hair Cut

Joseph was in desperate need of a haircut, and since we were at Gramma's he got one. He'll probably get another one, next month, in preparation for summer.


Since Joseph got a haircut, I asked Elena if she wanted one. Her hair has been bugging me for a while, because she had this grown-out-Mohawk thing going, where the hair down the center of her head was several inches longer than anything else, and didn't curl. It never looked good unless it was pulled back in a ponytail, but it rarely stayed in the ponytail for more than a couple hours. Most of the time she just had a poofy mess with a 4 inch tail.



My mom helped me with the theory, since she's been doing this sort of thing for forever. Yes, I cut my own hair, but it's a very different operation from cutting someone else's, especially a girl's. The back is now the same length as the sides, and there's a tiny bit of layering. I'll let her wear it for a few weeks and see if this helps. If the shorter length isn't helping any, I'll have her grow it back out. At least that's pretty quick when she's still fairly small. Jonathan thinks it's too short. I might even agree on that, but I still think it needed to get evened out.



Once I get it washed, I'll put up more pictures.
