Hair

Way back in August Ainsley wanted an ombre color for the start of high school... remember that blog post about the cost?!?

A month and a half later she needed it cut because it was too long and hard to manage...

Then 2 months after that she says... "I think I want short hair!" ..Say what?!?  I gave the lesson... again... that I seem to be giving a lot more than usual lately, that money doesn't grow on trees and that sometimes we have to wait, make do with we have etc... etc. It was non-stop talk about it... and so I jokingly said fine... I'll just cut it.  Her eyes lit up and she said, "Really!!.. are you for reals?"  I thought well it's just hair... and secondly I knew I could always get an emergency haircut appt if needed. So after a quick youtube video and rummaging around for a half-way descent pair of scissors we set up shop at the dining table.  This was also the night the boys decided to clean the guns... quite the redneck family we were... hair salon and gun cleaning! I'm sure the neighbors were like... OH MY! Especially since we never have our blinds shut.

She snap chatted with friends while I cut 5 inches off!!  It actually turned out better than I had expected.

Not even a week later she says... "Do you think we could cut it shorter and we could add some layers!"  Uh sure... another youtube video watched and once again I opened up shop and cut a bit more off... I'm lucky she's got my thickness in hair so it's very forgiving for the mistakes that I'm sure I made...

Surprisingly she was content with this for quite a few months... but as it started to grow out it was time to get a "real haircut"... she wanted to thin it out... have defined layers and some shorter pieces around her face...

Can she get any cuter?!

She totally hates to have her ends curled under and immediately went up to her room to fix it but not before I got a picture of me and my mini me!!  Love my "little girl" bunches!
