At a family gathering on Sunday , one of my sisters noticed that my younger daughter had “taken care of some hair that was in her eyes” on Saturday by cutting a small section of hair right at the top of her forehead very close to her scalp… and I hadn’t even noticed… oops! Of course this led to reminiscing about past hair cutting experiences in our family either done by ourselves or a sibling. I once cut a triangle into my bangs because I couldn’t find my toothbrush, lol! We had a few times where one sibling would almost cut all the hair off another… ah, the memories of childhood 😉 I’m glad this is a first (and hopefully last) for my kids!
My daughter had been wanting bangs for a while, but I just hadn’t gotten around to it. I cut the boys’ hair, and usually my girls, but never bangs before. This little “self-help” episode brought about the need for Mommy to finally google about cutting bangs.
Thankfully I found a great website right away with clear directions and tips. I read over them and perused the site for other general tips, then decided to take the plunge and cut her hair. She has never had bangs, so when I made the first cut the hair was longer than a foot! Overall I did a pretty good job… though they are slightly lower on one side. I can always spot my errors, so I try not to look to closely. She likes them a lot, and has been brushing and spritzing them down all day today 🙂 She looks very cute, though she seems a little more grown-up, which my hubby and I don’t like.
