Nappy No More

One thing I noticed about the kids at La's school is that they're all rather "put together." The girls show up wearing ruffled socks, sweater vests and grosgrain ribbons in their hair. La shows up in leggings and a t-shirt most days.

They're comfy!

But the biggest difference between La's appearance and the rest of the kids in her school is That Hair. The girls all have sassy, smooth little haircuts that flutter in the breeze without tangling. La's hair clumps into dreadlocks fifteen minutes after she combs it.

Yesterday morning I decided that I had had enough and, on a whim, I gave La a haircut. I was just going to trim the "dead ends" but got carried away and ended up chopping about 6 inches off.

The back is a little bit shorter than the front, and has some choppy layers for volume. Pretty cute, huh?

La loves it and says she always wants it this way.

Next up? Socks with ruffles.
