Big news at the Nelson house....Carley's first haircut. She will be three in a month and I have never cut or trimmed her hair. I finally decided to on Saturday just to get the ends off and even out her hair. Here is what I learned:
1. I should not cut curly hair, especially when I do not know what I am doing.
2. It is true what they say about curly hair kinking up after. I cut off 2 inches in the back and it is like 4 inches shorter.
3. I was a nervous wreck and way too much of a perfectionist.
4. This is why they make salons.
5. Carley is like Samson. I cut her hair and Tech lost all of it's strength. I feel very guilty about this. Sorry Red Raiders. I had no idea.
It turned out cute. It looks really healthy and full, it just seems so short to me.
Here are before and afters.
Preschool pictures a couple of weeks ago. This is a good shot of how long it had gotten.
In the after picture from behind you can see how much shorter it is. Oh well, it always grows, right?

Okay...I laughed out loud over number five. You are too funny, my friend!
I like the haircut and bravo to you for cutting it yourself!
It looks great! I can't wait to see it in person...
At least you didn't cut off her curls like I did when I gave you your first haircut :)
Girl, you crack me up!
Carley is so precious with long or short hair.
I can't believe that is her first cut!! You did a great job! Maybe we should start the hunt for a stylist to cut our girls hair--b/c I think they will always have the curls!
that hair is beautiful! long or short she is just outright cute!
i agree with all the other comments. carley is as cute as ever! what beautiful hair. her curls are so pretty! yea for curly hair :)
good job, ashley!
It looks great! My hair was as curly as Carley's when I was little until my mom took me for my first haircut and the lady cut all of my curls off. I haven't had the same hair to this day.
It looks fantastic!!!! I can't believe you were brave enough to do it on your own.... wow. :)
It looks great! I can't believe you did it yourself- amazing job!! I would give anything for just a few of Carley's curls.
Curls are tough, but it looks like you did great! I only wish Cassidee's hair was that long...
I'm very impressed that you cut it yourself. I can't believe how long it had gotten!
Ashley, I can always count on you for a good laugh!!! I think you did a great job...
Go Sampson. That is hilarious. I LOVE the cut! Very fresh and sassy! I may or may not have tried a trim on Campbell too, and she may or may not be sporting a pseudo-mullet this week. We are thankful it was not worse.
She looks great. Her hair is cute, you did a good job. Girls hair is hard! But who knew her hair was so linked to Tech. Please don't cut it again! :)
Awwww...I think it looks GREAT!
That cut is sooo cute! I love the short curls!
