Locks of Love...some tears...then smiles

Hazel has been planning to cut her hair and donate it for a couple months. She wanted to wait until her birthday. That was last week. She wasn't quite ready last week. But today was the day. She really wanted it cut outside. So we sat on the front porch. After I cut off the braid, she decided that it was too short. She cried the entire time I cut her hair. I felt horrible. I've been there...a haircut too short and not what I was expecting. But we got through it. Aspen took her in and gave her a bath. Then showed her the mirror. After she saw it, Hazel decided that she did like it. And it was cute. Then she took me up on my earlier peace offering of a BIG treat at the store with her friend who had stopped by. When Nate saw it, he gushed with adoration. That made her feel better too. So it all ended up okay. Just a little drama for the end of the day.

Here's the before:
And here's the after:

  2. I love it! I had short hair too when I was little. When I was around 5 years old Erika gave my long hair a much needed trim. A few juice boxes later and it was as short as Hazel's.

    Love it!

  5. Love the cute new hair cut. I have totally cried over bad hair before so I can feel her pain on the fear of it looking bad. But it is super cute.
