Wow! I never knew what I was missing!

My 23 month old has loads of springy blonde curls and even when he is wearing a blue shirt with a car on it, jeans and dirty sneakers people still think he is a girl and make charming comments like "he is too pretty to be a boy" or "wow, those curls are wasted on him"

That is just not nice to say that! You can't waste curls!

Gregory had curls like that too - beautiful blond ringlets. He was almost two before I could bear to cut them, and of course once we cut his hair all the curl fell out. He has a little now, but only when his hair gets really long.

But of course, the boys both had TONS of hair, and Joyjoy was bald until she was nearly 18 months. lol

Ugh, reminds me of when I cut Leila's hair for the 1st time -- she was almost 4 & she had tight ringlet curls (not kinky or frizzy like her 1/2 sis) down to her WAIST ... now it's kinking & frizzing like crazy in the back (?!) I thought I was saving her frustration & pain by cutting it, but now it's so much more difficult to take care of *SIGH* I don't dare cut it again because she's not mature enough to take care of it herself yet (she convinced me to let her try a "loose + free" hairstyle for Thanksgiving & it was dredlocking by noon *SIGH* at least while it's long I can braid it safely & comfortably out of the way....

Here's her curls at about 7 months old

2 years old

After 1st & only haircut

Looks nice from the front, but the back can be horrifying, LOL!

which is whyt I have no intention of cutting Joyjoy's hair EVER. The bangs were self defense, but I doubt she'll keep them.
