Faith & Grace's First Haircut

This past month was a big "first" for my girls. Both of them had their first hair cut. Faith's hair was much longer in the back and really needed a trim. So while Grace was at school we did it! She was very nervous, but that was okay because she sat very still. After it was done it looked so much nicer I kind of wished we had done it sooner.


Even though Faith broke the ice Grace was still very hesitant to have her hair cut. She adores her long hair. But the ends were so unhealthy so I decided it was time.

After...I really had to coax her to get this little smile she was very unsure.
Since her hair had never been cut the girl had to cut several inches off to make it more healthy. She actually wanted to cut more, but I thought that was all we could handle for one day. I'm glad I listened to my mama instincts because by the time we reached the car Grace was in tears over how "short" her hair was. But, she has quickly adjusted and it has been much easier to detangle. The beautician assured her healthy hair grows much better. I thought it was hilarious when she repeated this to Gramy, but told her she wasn't to sure about this being true because her hair wasn't any longer yet. :)

Oh, how I love my girls' beautiful curly hair and I'm enjoying it now because I'm still not sure if it will stay curly or not.

Belle is the same way with hair trims, I have to call it trims or she flips out!! She wants tangled hair and I have told her the only way to do this is have healthy hair and that is 2 cuts a year. She is bummed for a week about the difference but then it just gets longer and she remembers better each time. Love their curly hair, I am a sucker!!
