OMG. I cannot do this for 15 more years.

DD needs her first hair cut. I MAY be agonizing over it more than I do my own and you all know how much I agonize over that. LOL. 


Her hair needs to be cut. It has never been cut. I think I want to do a long bob. 


HELP. 

[TR]

Just do a trim. No need to chop it all off.

[toledo]

OMG.

[Deleted]

See... Needs to be cut.

No need.  If I had missed this thread, I'd be sure to catch one of the next 8 about it.

[speckledfrog]

Just trim it.

[Deleted]

I need @tambcat.


She gets me.

[cleo29]

Just trim off 1-2 inches. Don't think about this too much lol

Oh, my bad. I just figured if you didn't like what was in the thread you wouldn't open and read them.

Cut off 2-3 inches and the scraggly should go away and it should be cleaned up nicely.
No need to go all the way to a long bob unless you or she just like that look (DD has a long bob because it looks cute on her and I like it)

Nope. Well, I don't think it would.  For the most part I've only ever had B's hair trimmed, never styled. But her hair is curly so I don't know if that makes a difference. I think if you just have them clean up the ends it'll look perfectly fine.

Well this makes perfect sense. 

We cut DS's hair at home. 

[shananagins]

She would look adorable with a long bob. Just above the shoulders. Make sure you leave it long enough to put in a ponytail.

I wish it was curly and I do think this makes a difference. C's is fine and straight. And scraggly. LOL.

You might just have to trim it more often then, but I still think it'll work

[BaliHai]

I agree with PP, I think you can just ask for a trim and a clean-up and it will look fine.

[wambam]

Girlfriend just needs a trim.

She has such beautiful hair. I want to pet your kids head.

[papie]

Just get it cut, lol.  

I really can't relate to you crazy people, you know who you are.  I bring my girls to the kid salon and send them off with the hairdressers without even saying anything about a style.  They have survived so far.  

[candreco]

I mean this in the nicest possible way, you're over thinking it! DD has similar hair, and getting an inch or so off the ends every few months was plenty, no need for a particular style. I think her last haircut was when we started doing some long layers since she's letting it get really long and it was starting to look heavy on the ends.

[8675309]

I get it. I had a hard time with the first haircut for both kids. Mine had these adorable curls but they were so thin they'd tangle easy so I knew I had to do it.

We just trimmed it up and left the bangs alone. The worst part? The curls never came back.

[TR]

If I never hear the words "long bob" again it will be too soon.

[mrssandro]

DD has long blonde hair. I take her to super cuts every 3 months ago. Clean up and trim. Cheap and no big deal. I ask DD all the time if she wants it shorter and she loves it long. So it stays that way.

Don't you HAVE a long bob? Do you prefer if we call it a lob?

I used to have what I guess you'd call an angled bob, but I'm trying desperately to grow it out. Now it's just above my shoulders. It just IS.

"Long bobs" are just...shoulder length hair, people! And "lob" makes my ears bleed.

[cville]

AND BEFORE YOU EVEN COME IN HERE SOBBING, I'm breaking it down for you. The ends of her hair have been hanging around on her head since birth, through multiple summers. So when she gets it cut, she will look less blonde. She needs those ends cut off because in about 2 months it's going to start looking like yellow cotton candy up in that joint, but she will appear to be less blonde. Prepare yourself emotionally. Gird your loins. Cut the hair.

[gretchenindisguise]

And lol that you have 15 more years of control over this. You have maybe 2, then she will start voicing her own hair opinions and you will let her because her hair should not be your hill to die on.
