Why is it impossible to get a good boy’s hair cut? We’ve taken our son to every hair cutting option in town – from the kiddie hair cut place to the barber on base to an adult hair stylist. And without fail, every single time within a couple hours we realize the hair is uneven, and all kids of jacked up. It’s so frustrating. Seriously, why is it impossible to get a good young boy’s hair cut?
We had Preschool Boy’s hair cut today. Needless to say, it didn’t go well. It kind of looked cute. Until you looked closely and noticed it was uneven in the front, longer on one side and completely uneven in the back. From one angle he looked straight out of the show The Monkeys. Sad.
So, my husband suggested (again) that we just shave my son’s hair. Avoid the drama of an actual hair style involving scissors and shaping and just shave it. And, for reasons that currently escape me, I agreed. Yes, we shaved my son’s hair.
Before I show you the pictures, let’s take a brief look at what once was.

And now….

March 2010
I made a video to mark the occasion. And, I apologize, there are some technical issues and the sound is a little off. It makes all of us sound like chipmunks. I should also apologize to my son because I’m sure my shock at the (lack of) length of his hair was more traumatizing than the actual hair cut itself.
So, please, take pity on me and tell me it’s not that bad.

August 22, 2010I love my son’s hair shaved (he’s almost 2). It’s easy to wash and a lot quicker to rinse when in the tub. It’s easier to apply sunscreen to his head – he’s very fair skinned. Above all, he looks like such a kick-butt little boy! *he doesn’t have any curls and has 3 gnarly cowlicks – so we kinda have to shave*
