Abby’s 2nd Haircut

I first cut Abby’s hair when she was 6 months old.  Since then, I’m trimmed a tiny bit here and there, and added a few more bangs to the ones that were growing in on their own, but recently, it was time for a real hair cut!

Her hair was longer in the back and I was tired of the long pieces in her ponytails.  I thought I’d just even it out in the back, but then decided all of her hair needed a trim to get rid of the stringy, broken ends.

Half way through. 
The left side is where I started. 
Once I got to this point I started freaking out about how much I was going to have to cut off the back!

What went from a little trim in the front, turned into cutting off a good 1.5 inches off the back!  I couldn’t bring myself to make it completely straight across, so I left the back just a smidge longer than the front/sides.  I call it a modified A-line. :)

All done.

I also forgot how much hair shrinks when it dries.  The back of her hair also curls and flips naturally, so no matter what I do, the back looks shorter than the front/sides.  Even WITH my modified A-line cut.

Her hair looks thicker and healthier now, although I’ll admit, I miss the length.  Good thing hair grows!
