Trimming Time

Gabby is not a fan of long hair. I can understand why, hers is remarkably thick (at least compared to mine :) Yesterday morning, I asked her if she wanted, still, to get it cut. She said she didn't think so. She liked being able to pull it back, do braids, etc. This has been her hairstyle of choice for about a year now.

In the meantime, Buck needed his neck shaved. Usually, this is my job. However, he has been talking about needing a haircut himself. I suggested he call for an appointment--"No problem, come on down!" I suggested he take Gabby along to see what the haircut ladies thought about her final length if she were to donate.

Gabby came back jazzed about the fact that she could keep enough length to donate and still pull her hair back! I asked if she wanted to cut her hair now, and she said yes :) So, Buck called back down and scheduled her an appointment same-day! (Wasn't it nice of those other customers to cancel just for us? :)

The weather, btw, was amazing for January. We had to drag the boys in and scrape a couple of layers of mud off of them before they could go along :) After lunch, we all piled in the van, because this is exciting stuff!

I didn't realize it had gotten this long!

They cut in four pony tails to keep as much length as possible. In just one or two, the angles get weird and it has to be trimmed a lot to get it even. Pretty smart to do it this way, I thought :)

Taadaa!

I think it looks cute on her, lots of waves now back!

She keeps flipping it around to feel it move (as all we girls do with a new haircut :) I told her the worst part about a new style is how much your neck hurts the next day from doing just that! Ha!

This time she donated to Wigs for Kids, which I guess is more financially accessible to the recipients than Locks of Love.
