Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for November 08, 2010

Izzy … put down the clippers … and slooooooowly back away …

Go ahead and cut them…if you don’t like it, they’ll grow back and you won’t do it again.

cut my hair when I was four, BEST FAMILY PORTRAIT EVER!

I cut my bangs once when I was in high school. Ugh. I’ll remember that forever. I actually know how to do it now (am 44) - but I was sloppy back then. Nothing like having bangs that end a half inch ABOVE your eyebrows. :-) I learned that lesson.

That’s right. Izzy will learn fast, esp if she has curly hair and cuts it wet. Definitely not speaking from experience here… ;-)

A bad haircut doesn’t grow out well, but then you get PROFESSIONAL HELP.

When I was four, cut my little sister’s eyelashes. Now that’s an emergency. Just ask my mother.

I don’t remember this at all….

In the early 70s the style was to have bangs that were just barely above your eyes or slightly in your eyes.

When my younger sister was a freshman in high school, my older sister, (soon to go to beauty school) cut the younger ones bangs while they were wet. We all learned hair shrinks as it dries.

The younger one was so traumatized, mom did not make her go to school for a couple of days. I remember her sobbing for hours after her hair dried.

Val knows best!
