Ok, so Lukes hair has been getting a bit long for my liking lately... and I have been dying to cut it... but, he won't sit still long enough for me to trim it lightly with a pair of scissors, so I decided to do the quick way, and use the buzzer. I do Jakes hair all the time, and he looks alright... doesn't he? LOL
Now, standard buzzers come with 6 trim lengths... #1 being the shortest, and #6 being the longest... I thought I would just go over his hair quickly with a #6...just to take off that extra bit of length he has. Then, yesterday while chatting to my mom on the webcam, her and my brother told me that a #6 is much too long, that I should do a #4, or even as short as a #2... LOL... remind me never to take their advice again!
Lukes hair is still REALLY thin so if it's short, it almost disappears entirely... so I decided to try a #5... shorter than my originally planned #6, but not as short as my family suggested... well, now my kid is just about bald on top in comparison to what he looked like when he woke up this morning, LOL... and he looks like he just enlisted in the army! I have a 14 month old with a buzz cut. LOL... not EXACTLY what I was going for.
To make matters worse, after quickly (and not very evenly) going over the top, while Jake tried to keep Luke still on his lap.... I needed to still tackle the back... Luke had already had enough, and was starting to fuss and squirm terribly, even though he had only been enduring my torture for about 3 minutes. LOL. So, the back didn't exactly go as planned. It looks like I tried to give him layers. LOL... very jagged layers... But, when Luke has had enough, then that's all you're going to get done... So now I have a sweet little boy, with a naughty boy buzz cut, and a choppy, jagged trim at the back! Hopefully it grows out quickly. Poor kid! LOL
If only he would sit still, so I could take my time trimming it neatly with scissors... instead, my choices are 'long and messy' or 'brave the buzz cut...'
I'm thinking next time we might just leave it 'long and messy'. LOL
This is Luke before his cut!

And this is our poor kid after his terrible cut!
I feel like a terrible mom for 'butchering' my childs soft, sweet hair! :(
I haven't even taken a picture of the back, because I feel like I need to try going over it again to redeem myself. I stopped when Luke had had enough... not when his hair was done. LOL
Funny how even in these pictures, both taken today... he goes from sweet looking little boy with a mop of hair, to looking like a little mischief maker with his buzz cut!

Oh Carla, it does not look that bad. We do James hair ourselves as well, although I normally strict instructions to keep the top long and do the sides with a number 4. I am the official Smartie/Jelly tot feeder. To keep James still we feed him one sweet at a time, it seems to work for us.
It really doesn't lok bad! Maybe if I saw it in person it would look funny. haha. We've had a few crazy haircuts for J too. Poor kids!
He Looks SOO Cute!!!
I think his hair looks good! kudos for mommy hair cuts!
