Well, I guess it's official. My baby, who was born with a few sprigs of hair that quickly fell out and didn't come back for about 2 years, finally got her first haircut! She's almost 3 1/2 now and has the most beautiful ringlet curls that she totally hates. I guess we all want what we can't have, even at 3 years old. She has wanted "flat" or straight hair for the past 6 months or so, and unfortunately has developed quite a complex about wanting to have "flat hair". It's so sad to hear that from her, because I know she has the rest of her life to be unhappy with her hair, looks, body, etc. and I guess I mistakenly believed the negative self-image wouldn't start until she was at least 5 years old! She was so excited about having her hair washed in the big sink, trimmed, and then I promised her that Meagan would "flat" or straighten her hair when the cut was finished. She was a little worried about the cut part, but like the big girl she is, decided to suck it up for the ultimate reward of straight hair for 24 hours. She did so well! Meagan discovered her hair was much longer on one side, and thankfully was able to even up the curls and cut off those frizzy baby hair ends that gave her that "Bozo the Clown" look very frequently.
Getting her hair washed in the "big girl sink"
All done with the cut...They can't call her Bozo now, bless her heart!
Not a big fan of the blowdrying...the lengths we go to for beauty!
Here's my big girl with her "Flat hair" She looks so.much.older. this way :'(
As an added treat, she even got her nails & toenails painted while Mommy got a haircut, too!
We had such a great girly day at the salon! She was so excited about everything she did & was completely obsessed with her new haircut! It was so precious, and I'm glad to have had the experience with her. I'm not quite as happy about my baby turning into such a big girl so quickly though, it's amazing how fast she's growing up!
