vi: Haircut

So first off, let me say that Lily has Justin's wiring. Other than having his large forehead and incredible height, she's usually a degree or two warmer than most people and has thick hair that grows super fast.

I have to fight with her every day over her hair, especially on warm days. She overheats and feels ill, but when I put her hair up in clips or bands, she always yanks them out (along with a handful of hair.) Doesn't matter what style she had, she always yanked it out.

I was losing patience with her hair and Justin figured that it'd be best to cut her hair off. She has an ungodly amount, and it grows several inches within a month or two, so it's not like it won't grow back. So, taking his advice on what kind of haircut to give her that would last her through most of the warm weather, she had a good foot of hair cut off yesterday at the salon.

Here is her before:

Her hair is wavy, so when wet and straight it reached her bottom.

After a good foot cut off she was feeling better. I have a pony tail that's about a good 8 inches of hair wrapped in a rubber band. Justin thinks it's creepy that I kept her hair.

Either way, she likes it. I think it looks cute. It's very similar to my own hairstyle, so I know how to rock it with cute accessories. She feels comfortable with it, and I'm relieved that I don't have to deal with a crap ton of hair and waste half a bottle of detangler just to have her destroy my hard work.
