Carrie had her first haircut today! It’s not the drastic straight-cut bangs I had feared. I brought her to my stylist and she did a really good job sort of layering it so I could push it off to the side and not have it look so severe. And when it falls forward (which it does frequently) it’s no longer hanging right in her eyes.
She did beautifully, sitting on my lap with no protests, and let Michelle work on her hair for a good 10 minutes. I was really worried about how it would look and how Carrie would handle it, but I’m glad we did it. She looks a like a little pixie now. We’ll just grow it out when she’s old enough to leave barrettes and pony holders in without trying to eat them.
Oh, and does anyone have any good recommendations for tear-free baby shampoo & conditioner? Carrie’s hair seems a little dry just using our Aveeno baby wash & shampoo combo.
