Mio's first haircut! Before & After.

 

We have been putting off cutting Mio’s hair for years, because we love the way her baby hair curls into adorable ringlets at the end, but we decided it was probably time to just get it cut already, because it was getting so uneven and they’d sometimes get tangled. Dan’s actually the one who was more attached to the curls, as he takes really good care to condition them during and after bathtime, so on Saturday before the haircut, he made sure to cut and save a lock as a keepsake and take some before-and-after photos to commemorate the milestone!

Goodbye, baby curls…

 

We went to Cartoon Cuts in Fair Oaks Mall for Mio’s first haircut. They seemed a little rough with keeping her head in position, but they did a good job of keeping her occupied during the haircut and we were pleased with the result.

Here’s a video during the haircut:

We miss the cute curls, but we have to admit that her hair’s so much more even and clean-looking now!

Her hair is so much easier to wash and take care of now, too. Overall, we’re happy with Mio’s new hair and she seems to like it, too! πŸ™‚
