Point & shoot: First hair cut


10am, Sunday, August 8, 2010.


My eldest had her very first proper hair cut on Sunday. She's almost 4. I know, I know. Both she and I loved her long wavy locks, those baby curls still at the ends. It was definitely time though. I felt a little sad as I saw those blonde waves hit the hairdresser's floor, but when I saw the grown up girl who walked out the door I started to wonder why I'd waited so long. She adores her new look and is showing it off to anyone and everyone.

  3. Beth - It took a fair amount of convincing and when she was in the chair she looked like she was in shock! After she walked out though she was fine and is loving all the attention and comments she's getting. It was only a trim and fringe cut in, so she still has long hair which was the most important thing for her.

    Eleanor - Oh so true!!

  6. Ahhh the 1st haircut.

    Abi has had a few, even though she has almost no hair! We like it in the little bowl shape with a short fringe.

    And I agree, it ALWAYS looks better when we walk out. More grown up.

    Did you keep the hair? Hehe

  11. Special moments. She looks like she was being very brave. As a hairdresser I did MANY 1st time haircuts and I always felt so torn for the mother and child. But it was always so nice to be part of a special moment xox

  12. Aww, first haircut! What a precious moment to capture. My eldest probably wont have her first haircut until she's ten the way she's going (ie no hair, lol)
