It could take 10 minutes but she hates it so much she keeps runing off and the whole thing takes ages. And I'm so bored and stressed out shouting at her to come back. The there's the strength and cunning needed to stop her running off again. The hair had to go. It was either the hair or me.

Love it!<br />And you brought back such memories of horrendously 'traumatic' haircuts when I was a kid. I had hair down to my waist and I never wanted it cut. My dad insisted and brought me to have it completely shorn off. I cried. Buckets. For weeks. So cruel! I've never had short hair since....<br /><br />PS Thanks for your great comment over on mine and your excellent point about TV drug-awareness campaigns. I updated my post to include a point I had intended to make but forgot as a result! jazzygalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04069218745940412457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-692517788030253147.post-28015628346381597382015-05-22T08:43:43.879+03:002015-05-22T08:43:43.879+03:00Thank you - with the shorter hair we also now do a...Thank you - with the shorter hair we also now do a quick curry coming in the morning while she's brushing her teeth. #multitaskingRachel Selbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13113411205306116614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-692517788030253147.post-89141599339551825372015-05-22T08:42:36.813+03:002015-05-22T08:42:36.813+03:00I have a friend who can only have short hair - it&...I have a friend who can only have short hair - it's very thick and curly and just grows up and out.

It was the same when I was a kid - no long hair until you could look after it yourself - then when I was about 13 the Mia Farrow & Twiggy pixie cuts came into vogue I made the mistake of going to my mom's hairdresser who decided I'd look great with this style and cut off all my hair! I told my mom I wasn't going back to school until it grew out - but of course within the month umpteen others had cut their hair and I was a trendsetter!<br /> I remember the school nurse checking for lice but I never actually knew anyone who had them as a kid (and of course it was very hush hush)! Nowadays it seems to be rampant here as well and the mom's at work talk about it all the time - it's a constant battle.<br />Your daughter has gorgeous hair and her cut is just lovely.

Just never grows any longer. I've done research and it seems it must be genetic. So, like you, I never stood in the way of my girls having long hair (they have better genes). Never had to deal with lice, thank goodness.<br /><br />Her hair is not too short at all, the cut really suits her.tesyaanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-692517788030253147.post-48529349837243984432015-05-21T20:22:09.025+03:002015-05-21T20:22:09.025+03:00Thank you.
