Landon's Haircut

Before:

So sad! I absolutely LOVE Landon's hair!

It's so soft and long and curly and surfer-dude-ish!

But, alas, all good things must come to an end. At least, when it comes to hair, it's usually temporary. I don't know what it was about Halloween, but apparently we turned a corner and the "girl" comments began.

I knew that day would come eventually, but the sudden consistency with which I was getting comments that indicated people thought Landon was a girl meant that he really needed a cut.

I'd also been wanting to cut it for a while because it's in his eyes all the time.

I'd been debating about it and putting it off for a while because I loved his surfer look and because I didn't know how to cut it in a way that would free up those eyes without giving him a mullet but also without losing too much length and those awesome curls. I was planning to take him in for this first time so that I could watch how someone who knew what they were doing would accomplish that, but in the end, I just wasn't going to get around to it anytime soon so I did it myself.

I think his haircut looks just fine but I really just liked the shaggy, curly, mop so much better.

It was just so Landon. I tried to cut it as close to how it was after the last time I cut it (just trimmed off the goofy baby hair) so that when it grows a couple inches, it will go right back to the surfer-dude look. Let's hope it works!
