first haircut

yes, it's true. addi is turning 4 in a few months and we've never tended her locks. well, actually, i trimmed her bangs once a couple years ago because she was eating her hair...


i think she rocked it.
we left her foreheadless for several months before we grew them back out...
and she still chewed her hair.
fail.

so why the cut? well, addi's hair touches her bum.
not a problem, really, but that's a lot of snarles and tangles.
i figured if we snipped it up a bit, maybe thinned, added layers
SOMETHING
she wouldn't have so many snarls.

so the big reveal of the first haircut, eh.


(yes. it's an iphone pic.)
i know. it looks the same.
and it's curly in the "before" because it had been in a braid all day...
so it's basically exactly the same.

we weren't going for a huge change. just a trim.
i was scared all of her baby curls would be gone, but ohblessedday some hung on.

oh, and for your viewing pleasure:



it's long... but addi's hilarious.
it just might be the most thrilling 10 minutes of your day.

(ps. gwen entertained herself by putting at least 5 different hair products in her hair. true story.)

when I read the title, I nearly had a heart attack because I couldn't believe she was just getting her first haircut. Then I remembered that girls are different than boys. Silly me. She's so cute by the way.

Cute! That hair cut gal was nice. Her watch was pretty sweet too...since you're in the market and all. ;) Even though her hair doesn't look much different, it's still a big deal! Her first haircut! My kids have MASSIVE amounts of hair so by the time they are 4 they've had like 10 haircuts. Serious business! Will had already had 4 haircuts by the time we cut all his curls off. My little monkey children. :) Glad you posted some, I've been missin' you!
