Strawberry’s First Haircut

Strawberry will be 4 in late September and had never had a haircut. She was born with a HUGE amount of hair and it grew and grew and grew…

When brushed out, it was past her waist and elbows. It truly was beautiful when it was brushed but it had reached the point where the ends tangled very easily. A couple of days ago, I saw to Strawberry I needed to brush her hair or else we needed to trim her hair. She smiled and said, “OK.” I thought she went to get the brush. Instead, she came back with the scissors. She wanted her hair trimmed.

 

I love that a friend who is a beautician taught me to cut my girl’s hair. Not to be outdone, Pumpkin Pie consented to a trim. Her hair was past her waist to her bum. It was so long that I was beginning to insist on the eternal braid. We were done in a few minutes and off to play at the park. (That brush is about 4 inches wide and the top edge is about at her waist.)  

Even after her trim her braid still comes to her waist!
