Cutting Bangs

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.
