Both my girls had the post-shaved-head haircut when we met them. When Dumpling's hair grew in, I started trimming her bangs. Now, we have been letting them grow in for a year because she will no longer allow trims. It's been a big pain. So when we met Beach Ball and she was so cute and round and squishy, I decided I would not trim her hair at all and let it grow in as it may. I remember seing pictures of Shelba's Zorba with this long whispy piece of bang and I thought that would look fab on Beach Ball. And it does. She's got the long piece in the front and the funny Flock of Seagulls wings on the side. It's adorable. What is less adorable is the nice Mullet she was growing in the back. I say "was" because the morning, the whole "party in the back" thing was too much, and I trimmed it. I looks much better.
I added a Dumpling shot for good measure.
We are there with Mia's hair. Not sure what to do about it. I want to grow and be messy baby hair eventually tuning into toddler hair and then cut and pigtailed. BUT the mullet...my lord the mullet. And it weighs down the sides. I will wait a bit I think but I can't wait for long hair!

They're so cute, both of 'em, and the new cut looks very nice. The other option, of course, would have been to increase the mullet by cutting the front shorter, then sending her off to live with Uncle Herb and Aunt D over in eastern Washington.
We'd been growing out Apples' hair at her request (she wanted to look like Mulan), but the combing out of the tangles every freaking day is getting old for everyone, plus she rarely lets me pull it back. So tomorrow it gets chopped into a short bob. I can hardly wait.
