I took Helene for her first proper haircut over the weekend. She never had a proper haircut, just the occasional trim, so her hair was really getting long and uneven.
It was just after lunch and before her naptime, so I prepped her and she was quite enthusiastic at first. So we reached the hair salon (just 2 minutes drive outside our place) and went in. I told the lady that we wanted to get her hair cut, so she got the high stool out. She sat Helene on the high stool and went to get the cloth to drape around her.
At this point, she was still looking around, with no warning signs of crying. However, as soon as the cloth was draped around her, she just burst into tears! Nobody saw that coming so we tried to pacify her the best we could. Surprisingly, the outburst lasted only about a minute and she remained seated. Normally, it is not easy to convince her to co-operate.
The bottom left picture - you can see her eyes were still red and teary, but she willingly sat until the whole process was over, which took quite long - almost half an hour! The final result is in the biggest frame. Her sisters told her she looks like Dora the Explorer haha.
