haircut!

I am VERY happy to announce that Hawken changed his mind on his dream to have "a man bun". Where he first heard those words, I will never know. After seeing his own pictures from the soccer party, he thought he looked a bit too much like a girl. He was still whining about a haircut though and after talking it through he finally confided that he was afraid of the little cut hairs tickling his neck. Problem solved! I made him a garbage bag shirt and cinched the top with a chip clip. Some last before pictures, the back was down onto his back, the longest it's ever been. 

He wanted to "hold a ponytail of the cut off hair" so I cut it like that. I actually could have made several ponytails with how short he wanted me to go. He loved it and was SO proud of his handsome self, and non-girly locks. I like shaggy hair on boys, but it's so good to have them cleaned up too.

There were several pieces that I found later on that I missed. He didn't like the electric trimmers, so I had to do it mostly with scissors, which makes for lots of mistakes when you don't really know how to cut hair. It looks pretty good now though. :)
