So our oldest daughter Millie has the hair of a Shetland pony. Her little sister Ellis has the hair of the silk on an ear of corn. For some odd reason, Jackie figured the perfect time to trim both of their hair was before church on Sunday.
So the girls settled in front of Veggitales and Mom got out her scissors.
Ellis- done in 10 minutes.
Millie- 1 hour and 45 minutes later, I yell at the top of the stairs that we have to go to choir. Millie comes up- with a... how shall I describe it... fashion forward, runway model, hair show style. Now the remarkable thing is that this style came about completely organically- and as Millie's hair dried, different lengths began appearing all across her head.
Millie suffered through church (most people didn't notice- or, thought Jackie was trying radical new styles on her oldest daughter) and 1st thing Memorial Day, I took Millie to a salon to have her style "adjusted" (I told the stylist that she did it too herself... I expected Millie to defend herself but she was interested in having her hair shampooed).
She is now a cute (well, she was cute before Jackie's "makeover") stylish, shorter haired version of herself. No more home haircuts in front of the tv for her.

Did you take before and after pictures?
Where is the picture??? Jackie is a brave lady doing girls' hair - I could never attempt that. Isabel goes to my neighbor who cuts hair in her home salon and the boys get buzz cuts by me. They don't think it's fair, but that's where the gender thing comes into play in our house.
