Last week, she won one in a raffle. No point in me having it - not sure I'm going to need a haircut for a little while! So I booked her an appointment for this morning.
I thought I'd better just give her a quick nit check before we went as she is a nit magnet. Fortunately there were no little beasties partying in her hair. I've invested in a 10 quid nit comb called the 'Nitty Gritty' which seems to grab hold of every little speck in her hair - so thankfully we seem to have eradicated the problem altogether!
The hairdressers was a very posh place, and they looked after her like a little film star whilst I sipped a complimentary filter coffee and the 9 year old lounged on the leather settee flicking through car magazines.
She opted for a general trim with some beautiful big curls. I thought I'd better take some photos afterwards because I knew they wouldn't last!
Sure enough, within a few hours she was up to her eyes in clart playing footy with her brother and a group of lads. When she trouped off the field, smelling of fresh air and with roses in her cheeks, there wasn't a curl in sight!...But she still looked gorgeous!

| This is why she's well known for haircuts! |
 |
| When I was supposed to be looking after her and her best pal, they decided to have a go at cutting each others hair. |
 |
| Which meant she had to have an emergency bob for a while! |
 |
| ...But then she always had the Dolly Parton wig. She's fast asleep on this photo and I got the fright of my life when I came to kiss her goodnight... |
 |
| ...But not as big as the fright I got one night when she wasn't even in her bed! 10 minutes of panic before I opened the doors of her wardrobe... |
She's so gorgeous Shents - I love all the pics but especially the emergency bob one, just soo cute ...
ReplyDeleteNow, we need a post and lots of pics on the 9yr old next :-)
God! The emergency bob. I had to explain to her friend's mum what had happened and take her daughter for an emergency bob too! Luckily, 3 years later we are still the best of friends and look back on 'the haircut' with a laugh!
ReplyDeleteThe 9 year old is so much more sensible...but equally gorgeous - yes, I'll post some pics of him soon!

ReplyDeleteYes you're right we did try and we did SUCCEED in cutting Karen's hair. We also coloured it in with felt pens.
Don't worry - she won't read this, and I won't tell her it was you.
