What a great kid. Over a year ago (September, 2003) my 11 year old daughter Allie resolved to grow her hair for the 'Locks of Love' program. Fifteen months and 10 inches of very thick brown hair later, Mission Accomplished.
Getting ready the day before. This was Allie's morning ritual to get her hair sorted out before school.
A little mugging before the actual cut. We gave her plenty of chances to back out ... honest. Her resolve was strong.
Mom assisting ... the stylist (Kim) parted Allie's hair into four massive pigtails and then took them off with scissors ... although we did consider hedge clippers for a few minutes.
The second pigtails getting pruned away.
With the extra hair safely removed, Kim proceeded with one of her classic new styles. Word is that Allie share's Mom's bizarre cowlick, but that's why God created styling gel.
A pose with the artist.
... and mugging for the papa-razzi (that's me) afterwards.
