Rachel's hair




Rachel's hair has been somewhat of an issue the past few years. At the age of 2 she had beautiful long curls which framed her face and were the envy of many. At the age of 3 she decided to take scissors to them and cut them off.....on the left side. *shakes head* I will never forget walking in to find all those beautiful curls spread out around her on the floor. I took her to the hairdresser and they turned her into a Buster Brown look-alike. Not a good look for her. At all. Sooooooo.........into the car we went, over to the other hairdresser in town, where the very talented owner did what she could to salvage things. She looked like Jaime Lee Curtis. (Which, in the grand scheme of things is 100% better than Buster Brown but Boo Hoo!! The curls!


So it is now three years later and she has finally decided to grow it out again and only get her bangs cut. She had discovered hair clips, the curling iron and braids. I don't know if it will ever get as long again, and the curls have never fully come back, but she has gorgeous naturally highlighted hair. As you can see from the photo, it curls wonderfully. Yesterday she pulled it back into clips and last Friday she went to school with two french braids. It is fun to finally see her experimenting and enjoying something that she wanted short for so long. Welcome back!
