We took Badger to Great Clips and gave her her first major haircut today.
Cowboy was not happy about it, but she pitches a horrible fit when I try washing and combing it, and it takes a lot of bribing to get her to let me put it in barrettes or a ponytail.
I'm not going to lie, I about cried when I saw all that gorgeous hair fall to the floor.
I thought we'd be able to keep it long until at least second or third grade, but she won't allow it to be taken care of.
Having to literally fight her to comb out snarls and knots every day just isn't worth it.
If she chooses to grow it long again later on when she's old enough to take care of it herself, then she can, but for now, a cute little“ Dora the Explorer” bob will have to do.
It's not boy short.
It's still pretty girly, so Daddy isn't too unhappy with it.
I don't know if she's happy with it; we can never really get any comment from her about anything.
When it's easier to wash and comb maybe then she'll be happy.
She did really well in the stylist chair and didn't put up any fuss, which surprised me seeing how badly she hates having her hair combed and how terrified she is of my hairdryer.
She didn't even blink at the stylist combing and drying it.
The stylist did insist on asking her questions, and I kept having to tell her that Badger is super shy and doesn't talk.
We're OK with people talking to Badger, but when you're told that she doesn't talk, don't keep insisting that she answer your questions.
You really make her very uncomfortable.
But, yeah, that happened.
