(It must be summer- he hasn't shaved since before church on Sunday)
Ok, it's not that big, but I'm absolutely mortified.
I don't use scissors when I cut hair... I always cut myself with said scissors, and it takes me over an hour to cut hair that way. Since Dan's hair doesn't sit like a normal person's hair, (it sticks straight up and parting it is out of the question, period,) I just use the razor. I'll use a shorter guard for the back of his head, and a guard that's about a half in longer for the top of his head. Then I'll blend together so it doesn't look like I gave him a bowl cut. Last night I was struggling to get the sides of his head to match (that's how wacky his hair is) and I guess I took the guard off because I was done with it (when I really wasn't) and I saw that I'd missed a spot so I reached around his head and buzz-buzz! I fixed it!
.....until I turned his head back around.........
I wouldn't even feel as bad, not even close, because it's summer and all, but I gave him the haircut because his family is coming to visit on Friday, and I didn't want him to look like a shaggy dog... So now his parents and sister will walk through the door and they'll see him with shorter hair than normal and a shaved spot. A large one. And his hair is very dark and his skin is very white, and so the picture doesn't show that in the light the spot like glows or something...
I'm so embarrassed.....
It happens to ALL of us, sweetie! One thing you could do is just take the rest down to the same level...it may be shorter than you wanted, but his hair grows like Kudzu! You could still leave it longer on top, just pretend he's a new Army recruit or something. :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, his hair is very weird. It grows in 76 different directions and never behaves. It's always been that way. And sticks STRAIGHT up on top!
I like that you were even willing to give it a try. And next time it will be easier.
You know what the difference is between a "bad" haircut and a "good" one? About 2 weeks...
Oh Ashley, you are adorable! :)
ReplyDeleteRyan just looked at me like I was a crazy woman when I asked if I could cut his hair. You've cut Danno's before and it worked great, the odds just were against you this time. (oh, and it doesn't matter summer or winter-- winter in Rexburg=hat ;)
