First Hair Cuts!

Before
During

Ellie has never had her hair cut. When she was around the age that Gracie is now, her hair was kind of course and wavy/a little curly, and even though she wouldn't really keep hair ties or clips in it, it wasn't much to keep it out of her face so we just let it go. Gracie on the other hand, has really fine hair, and I can't keep it out of her face and she pulls out anything I put in it. Because Ellie's hair is so long at this point, we were thinking of letting it grow a bit more and then donating it. The problem is that, while she has the 12 inches needed to donate, she would have really short hair if we cut it all off. She is constantly complaining when I brush it, and put it in a pony tail, I can't wait for it to grow much longer. My kids often walk around with (although clean and brushed) rag-a-muffin hair. My sister is a hair dresser, and an amazing one at that. I am so so so lucky that I don't have to go to a salon to get my hair done, and she cuts Warren's hair at least once a month, more like every 3 weeks or so. Today, Aunt Patti gave our entire family new dos including the girls first hair cuts! And she does it in our house to boot!

Check out the before and after! Gracie's mullet is gone with a few snips (easy for me to say) and her hair lays so much nicer now. And Ellie's mangy mane is now tame and she looks older...about 6 inches off the bottom. SO CUTE, thank you Aunt Patti! (Ellie and Gracie's Mom really loves her hair, and so does their Dad!)
