Hair Cuts ~ Deluxe!

We were all in desperate need of a hair cut, and seeing as we are a few too many miles away from our family hairstylist, I took on the challenge.  Sorry no pics of Gregg's hair.
First up, the teenie booper!  The worst first right?  I so so so wanted her to look nice and like her new "no hassles" hair cut, so lots of pressure!                             BEFORE

We watched a video on how to cut hair at home (thanks to the bookmobile) and started in.  First, I made a ponytail with all the hair from the front to just behind the ears.

chop!!!

Next I trimmed the nape short.  Then split the back into 2 sections, like for piggy tails. Held them straight out the back and cut them, making lots of layers.  With her wavy hair, this takes off a lot of weight.

Then I just did some little cleanup and voila!

(I see a little of myself in this photo!)  She loves the new do!  YEAH!  I have won!  It is much lighter and she doesn't mind wearing a little clip to keep some away from her eyes.

Now for a little trim for the littlest one.  A few years ago we chopped all her beautiful locks off for cancer donation, so she's still dealing with some uneven spots.

Her hair is the most like mine, I just did a quick cut in the back middle for a guide and also the sides to hopefully be even enough.

Beautiful!  She wants to grow the bangs now, so I left them.

The middle child just needed a little trim to help with the ends.  She has thicker hair, so I had to separate it and just trim.

Finished trim

Come back again to see the next post of the final family member's hair cut!  Boy, I was saving money left and right by doing all this myself.  April means a new hair do for myself though.  Don't quite trust my 13 year old to do it!  haha.  Using up a gift certificate for foils and haircut...can't wait!
