The Second Haircut

It has, shockingly, been over a year and a half since Josie had her first haircut. We've all had so much fun watching the blond curls grow, why cut it? Well, it's finally gotten to a point of looking unruly and a little unmanageable. When her hair was wet it reached nearly halfway down her back but dry it came to her shoulders. Every morning was getting to be a fight to get through the tangles. And the back had drastically different lengths to the curls, it couldn't even pass for layering. Josie was even asking to get her hair cut.

I tried to take a 'before' picture but Josie was dancing and could not seem to stand still, so here's a video.

We have been cutting Xander's hair at home but I was not going to attempt trimming Josie's hair. I made a few phone calls and decided to go to Cookie Cutters. Surprisingly, I had to make an appointment but I'm glad I did. When we arrived Xander took off to the slide (they have a small indoor play area). Josie was immediately brought back for her cut and offered the choice of where to sit. She decided she wanted the airplane where Tangled was playing. When I checked on Xander, he had found Lego Star Wars and was happily playing away. So I sat down with Hannah where I could keep an eye on Xander and Josie.

Josie's hair was sprayed down and trimmed to even it out followed by getting her hair dried. She didn't didn't seem to mind any of it. The stylist said Josie did a good job of following directions and other clients and stylists were complimenting her hair. As easy as that, we were back in the van heading home.

Her hair looks nearly the same, just a little shorter and a lot curlier. Hopefully she won't get as hot running around outside since the back is off of her shoulders and neck. It's definitely easier to comb through in the morning!
