New Do

Niko has been pulling at her hair lately.  She ends up with an endless amount of hair plastered all over her face, hands, clothes, just everywhere.  I'm constantly pulling hair out of her mouth and eyes.

So I decided that it's time I gave Niko her very first hair cut.  I just didn't have the heart to cut her hair until now. But she did have a crazy amount of hair, that loudly emphasized the unsteady jerky motions of her head.  I don't know the first thing about cutting hair, and I didn't think Niko would last more than one second in a salon chair.  So I gave it a go at home.  I heard from someone, a long time ago, that to give a nice natural hair cut, simply pull all the hair back into a ponytail and then chop it all off at once.  So that is what I did.  What I did NOT expect was to find Niko sporting a perfect graduated bob after the chop.

She looked ridiculous.  It was so exaggerated.  She looked like she went into Vidal Sassoon with a magazine clip out of Victoria Beckham and demanded, "I want this look."

Niko's bangs were super long.  Pulling them straight, they reached passed her chin.  Without exaggeration, after the first chop, her hair looked exactly like this photo above.  I couldn't stop laughing.  It looked absolutely ridiculous to see a graduated bob on a baby who doesn't look a day over 9 months old.  

So I had to fix the Posh Spice situation.  I then blindly snipped here and there while Niko whipped her head wildly left and right.  She ended up with cute short bangs and a brand new do.
