Day After Major Haircut! [VIDEO]
In case you missed it, here's How I Cut My Hair— long to short. It was a lot of hair.
The following day, I filmed my next-day reaction— it's usually hard to tell what you think of your new haircut the same day you get it, isn't it? :>
Thanks, buzzr021531, for your really nice comments— made my day! :>
'I really like it! And major points for having the balls to do it yourself. :)'
Have something to say, leave it in the Comments, we'd love to hear! :> xoxo
...I'm actually posting this about a couple of weeks after the fact. I have more plans for my 'do. Stay tuned for more changes! :> xoxo

I Cut My Hair! And My Advice For Cutting Your Own Hair :>
Never say never...
At one point, I thought I'd never go short again but have recently been watching a particular vlogging family and loved the mom's hair length (she's since cut her hair even shorter). I was originally intending to leave it a little longer than it currently is but, midway cutting it, I decided to go a little shorter. I think my hair grows pretty quick and figured I might as well cut a little more so, in no time, it'll be the length I originally wanted. Turns out, I actually like the short length I ended up with.
It was a lot of hair. Only after holding it in the garbage did I realize how much I actually cut off— probably half my hair! I accomplished a lot on Memorial Day— vacuumed, went for an exploratory walk through an unfamiliar town, went for a swim, and chopped my hair. The latter took about an hour— not bad considering how much I cut. I figured I wouldn't have enough to ombre it but will likely (hopefully) do that soon.
The key to cutting your own hair is pulling small bits in the opposite direction it normally falls and cutting 'into' or parallel to your strands, towards your scalp, to achieve a choppy/layered look. Wasn't going for blunt but if that's your thing, by all means cut perpendicular/horizontally straight across.
I filmed myself cutting my hair and am importing the footage now. If it's decent, I'll edit and publish to youtube. Cross your fingers (and be on the lookout) for that! :>
So, what do you think?? Yay or nay? :>

Girl's First Major Hair Cut!! [Video]
Ok, yes, there was some crying and whining but a) she's two— to be expected and b) honestly, she was more concerned with the dirty floor and the piece of lint that looked like a bug than the actual cutting of hair. Truly.
This is Nui Nui's very first actual haircut. I've only really cut her bangs in the past so don't really consider those 'major'. Since her hair's been getting long, I've been meaning to cut her full head of hair and, as it's getting warmer and I guess because of the Spring Forward, I jumped into action and made it happen. [It's amazing what a bright day when you get out of work can do— I felt like I had a whole day ahead of me :>].
I'm not sure how her hair would have turned out if a hair stylist/kids cuts specialistwould have done it, but I can't afford it and actually don't care. I'm sure tomorrow I'll find some longer pieces out of hiding but I enjoyed the memory, the time together, and the resulting Meg Ryan pixi cut :>

Babe's First Haircut!
I've been meaning to cut Nui Nui's hair for a while now. We ended up getting her clips (those metal kind that snap) but either she just kept pulling them out or they did just didn't hold or stay in place.
Then her hair seemed to be ok— long enough to stay put to the side? I don't know but something I stopped noticing to be bothersome. The past few days, though, her long hair had become straggly. Unattractively so. ..as I write that I wonder when straggly is ever attractive but whatever..
After a long day of trying to go to a pumpkin festival (and failing), reading in Barnes, playing in Central Park, and taking a dump when we got home, I decided on a whim to cut her hair right then and there on the toilet right before her bath.
My aim was to keep her side-swept bangs, not too short, and trim some of her back hair. She honestly wasn't too difficult to barber but certainly not one I could get too picky about grooming. After about 5 minutes, I dumped her in the bath and could only wait til after to see the actual results.
Well, she definitely looked different. But, as always, cute. The shorter bangs admittedly made her look more boyish but that's something we love about her or love to tease her about :>
Fun! ..despite my putting this off past 1 year old, I say this venture was a success. Following Nui Nui's bath, I was inspired to cut my own... :>
Caption: Tell me, does this haircut make my cheeks look even juicier? :>
