India’s Haircut
This was written in reply to the question: “When did India’s hair get cut, and how did that get decided? I’m very curious! She looks fabulous….”
So you want to know the story of India’s hair cut… Well, it all started when after her bath it took me 10 minutes to untangle her hair. This is while the conditioner was in her hair! After all of that we only had about 10 minutes to dress and get out the door for the bus to pick her up. I was so frustrated (since I didn’t even get all the tangles out) that I pulled out the scissors and chopped off about 5 or 6 inches then and there. So some of the earlier photos of her short hair she is sporting a 2 minute hair cut. Just before her dance recital I decided that the one long piece in back needed to be trimmed. So we sat on the deck and I did a more detailed cut. I don’t really know how to cut hair, I just did what was done to my hair the last time I got it cut… 6 months ago. HA!
Anyway, I told India that she can grow her hair out again once she learns to brush her own hair. I know it sounds terrible, but we would forget to brush her hair and that is when it would get really badly tangled. Now her hair is typically brushed, by her, and if we forget it doesn’t mean we have to struggle for 10 minutes or more to get it nice and smooth. What a relief. Thankfully she has a pretty tough head.
