It's All About The Hair

In Primary they have been talking about service and what each person can do for someone else. We have been talking the past couple of months about cutting the girls hair off. We have talked, threatened, pleaded about their hair. Rylee wanted to donate her hair. Reganne wanted to keep her hair and let it keep growing. After the last Primary discussion I asked them if they would like to serve someone that doesn't have any hair? There was a pause and finally Rylee said that would be cool to give someone hair for Christmas. Reganne promptly replied all they want for Christmas is hair.

Off we went to Shawna's house on Monday and Rylee was first. We decided this time to try two ponytails instead of one. She had to still saw through the hair.

The first cut
The second cut... Can I change my mind?

What am I doing???

The final product. She hated the process afterwards. Shampooing, cutting, drying, and finally styling her hair. She sure looks cute. She was so excited to show her friends at school. She couldn't wait to be the center of attention.

Next in line as Reganne. Now that it was her turn she wasn't so sure she wanted to do it. Her expressions are priceless.

The first cut.

The second cut... My hair is gone!!!

And finally she it is done. She is learning to like her short hair. She was afraid that nobody would remember who she was. She doesn't want anyone fussing over her or her new hair.

We are really proud of them for wanting to share & serve others.

Finally, Ryder's hair.

I had a quick, fleeting thought to let his hair grow out a little. So I tried spiking it to match the patches that were all ready standing up. This lasted about an hour and it was all laying down, except the back patches. So he also got a haircut. Not enough to donate, but he sure looks better.
