Hair cut for Ella!

Ella gets haircuts about once a year and we happened to go when they were running a special where for every child's haircut, they donate a free haircut to someone in the community who can't afford one. How cool!!!!

First non-trim!!

AFTER!!

 Ella was ready for a change and Aunt Amy was willing to do a haircut so we went for it!  It's only been a few hours and one post-haircut bath and it's already soooo much easier to care for.  Seems like this will be ideal for teaching Ella to do her own hair!  And she looks so cute with a "mature" shorter do!

Ella's First Haircut!!!

A couple weeks ago I decided to take Ella for her first hair cut ever!!! Yes, we made it 3 years and 9 months with no cutting. It was pretty easy since she is so old and was excited about "getting a trim at the salon" rather than scared :-) My dad joined us and it was a fun little milestone to celebrate!

Ella was not expecting to lay down to have her hair washed and was kinda freaked out. When I moved back to take this picture she was saying "Mommy! Hold my hand!!"

Lollipop as a prize and off we go!


*So, the goal of the haircut was so to even it out and I was told curly hair tangles less when it's kept trimmed-so far, no change on that. Booo.
**We went to Cartoon Cuts and it was WAY too expensive ($16) and slightly ghetto. Nothing bad happened but I don't really recommend it. I can definitely do future trims myself :-)
