Before and After Lucy's First Haircut! (May 2012)

In May of 2012 the mullet/general straggliness of Lucy's hair came to an end with her first haircut.  I called it a baby mullet but one friend once informed me that Lucy's hairdo looked like a pony" as in it was all on the top and down her neck (with little on the sides).  I'm not sure it was a compliment but it was an apt description.  Although the baby mullet could sometimes be styled pretty cute (see below), it also was a little out of control (also see below) and Lucy was not really a fan of sitting still to have her hair done.  I kept looking at her hair thinking the shorter sides might just naturally fill in but that did not happen and instead her hair was often in her face.  My stylist, Jenny O of Salon 7, was great with Lucy.  She had Dora the Explorer stickers for Lucy to look at during the cut.  And Lucy held VERY still.  She was pretty excited since we had been talking it up for a few days.  Check out the before and after examples below.

Nice, right?

Okay, this is out of control, Mom!

When she actually held still the mullet could be styled into this cuteness.  This is the morning of the cut.

Chill out with the camera, Mommy, my hair will grow again!
