Hair Cut

A couple of days ago, I found this stash of hair and knew right away what had happened. Ashlyn has been using the scissors a lot lately and a couple of times I found her acting a little fishy but didn't think much of it. She's typically pretty responsible with scissors, but this pile of hair says otherwise. I could tell from the different colors that this was hair from a lot of different Barbies and dolls. After finding about six of her sisters' dolls with damage, I stopped searching and gave her a punishment.

Then today I noticed this. Emma's hair has some lovely straight cuts making her hair very short on the front left side. I suddenly knew that some of the hair I found the previous day belonged to Emma. I remember thinking some of the hair was very soft and couldn't think of which of their Barbies had such nice hair. That's because it wasn't a Barbie's hair, it was Emma's.

Then it dawned on me that she probably cut her own hair too. I began questioning her and she immediately burst into tears and admitted to it. I began searching her hair and luckily couldn't find any serious damage. I think she cut hair to the length of her bangs so it blends nicely. I guess the silver lining is that I may end up with a hair stylist in the future.

Hairdos

Sadie always has to see her hair from the back. So here are a few hairdos that we've tried over the last several months.

Haircuts

Kali and Sadie have been growing out their hair for quite some time now. But I have said that the minute they say they're willing to get it cut short, we'll be at the salon getting it cut. That's because Kali has such a tender head that just combing through her hair is a nightmare and Sadie's hair is still so thin that it looks better short than long. Well, today Sadie said she would be willing to get her hair cut. At first she said she wanted it done by Josh's aunt, but then she decided she didn't want to wait and we went straight to a salon. I wasn't sure what Kali would do, but the minute we got to the salon, Kali decided that she wanted hers cut too. I couldn't have been more excited.

And the finished product is quite cute!!!

The Beauty Salon

Sorry, I know this picture isn't the best, but it shows a fun tradition I have with the girls when Josh isn't home. They love to do my hair, and I must admit, I love having my hair done by them probably as much as they like doing it. It's very relaxing. Ashlyn has even joined in the fun. The only downfall is that they like to use the spray bottle and the hairspray so I end up a little sticky and wet by the end.
