Layers

So... we've got another beautician in the family. Natalie is taking after her mother and has decided to just do her own hairdo, who needs to pay a stylist? I've been winging haircuts for 2 years. But Natalie, you don't have to do it alone, I'll help you! I'll give you a cut for free. No, free isn't good enough. So Natalie's spent the past few days taking off little snips of hair here and there...
Nothing too dramatic yet, so I haven't had to intervene. There haven't been any blunt cuts, she's been lucky to blend it very well for a 3 year old. But if she gives herself another trim or set of layers, it might be time to go for a full bob. It's all short on the sides. She hasn't reached the long hair underneath in back, so it's not too noticeable for the average passer-by friend and neighbor, but we all have noticed it.
Yesterday after church, Joseph found a clump of hair on the kitchen bench, next to the kitchen table where Hyrum had left out his homework and some scissors!!! tsk tsk. Today he left his homework with some scissors out AGAIN on the study desk, where his little sister found them and gave another quick trim on the piano bench. That section of hair just wasn't doing it for her. HYRUM. Do not leave scissors out again or the damage she does might be too great to deny.
