Quite a good cut

Grace had her very first visit to an actual hair salon (versus a place that caters to kid haircuts). She and best friend Annie both needed haircuts, and I found my hairdresser on recommendation from Annie's mom, so we figured why not take both girls together.


Here is Grace getting her hair shampooed for the first time. Apparently Annie puts up a big fuss about this, so her mom was glad to be able to point out how calmly Grace took it.


There it goes. Lots of hair being taken off, so it will be a big surprise for her classmates when she goes back to school on Tuesday.


The new hairdo. And the new jacket - North Face like everyone else in creation wears up here. She was allowed to get it if she paid for half the cost.


Now for the real meaning of the title above - Grace was able to cut 8" off, which is the minimum amount to donate to Pantene's Beautiful Lengths program, which makes wigs for cancer patients. Here is her hair which I need to package up and mail off on Tuesday. I'm very proud of her because she ended up having to cut a little bit more than she originally wanted to be able to donate.

She LOVES her new haircut, mainly because she discovered how few tangles end up in hair that only goes to a little below your chin.
