A Boy and His Hair



Kip loved his long, shaggy hair. So when his dad told him he had to get it cut, he was dismayed, to say the least! (I tried to get him in the same pose so you could see the difference) Kip acted like he'd gotten a crew cut... The barber did take a significant amount off, but it's still relatively long, as you can see. And like I told him, the one good thing about a haircut is -- it always grows back! I had written down what he should say to the barber: 1. Just re-layer it. 2. Do NOT cut the bangs above my eyebrows. 3. Angle it down in the front. 4. Don't take anything off the back. Well, he ended up telling the guy to take some off the back, and wasn't happy with the results when his hair suddenly became 3 inches shorter... (it was even longer than it looks in the "before" picture) But at least the guy left his bangs long, although they are no longer below his eyes. And Lon was satisfied. Now the question is, will Kip let me blow-dry his hair for his class picture next month, or will he want to just shake it out and go, straight from the shower? We'll have to wait and see!

The bangs are a very serious issue around here too!

It's so funny that he thinks his hair is SHORT now! (and that he lets me blow-dry it, ha ha. I don't need a daughter!)
