Camden has been asking for about a month for a haircut. It was getting very long, but also very damaged, breaking off, and tangling horribly. Still, I kept hesitating. We had only cut her ends twice. I thought she was asking because a few of her friends at school had gotten cuts lately, but on Saturday (after a week of not being at school), she asked again.
I stopped at our salon on Saturday afternoon to see if Haley (our favorite) was available. She just returned from maternity leave and was booked solid. But Blondie, the owner, had the time and got her in.
She explained that girls won't get their full/true hair until about age 12, but that what was the bottom third of her hair was still "baby hair" and was very fine, brittle, and very hard to comb/brush. It was no wonder we had a tough time in the morning! She cut Camden's hair to a nice shoulder length which we can still pull up in a ponytail or barrette. I didn't have her cut bangs but blend the shorter pieces into the long. We spent the afternoon at Turtle Park (including getting a strawberry ice cream cone at Dari-licious) and the wind made it impossible to get a good picture. But it is adorable and Camden is very happy.
Washing her hair last night and brushing it for church this morning was tear-free. It obviously more healthy and will be easier to maintain. Very pleased with the results!
