I have had one haircut in the last five years.
The time before, I got fed up with the whole business of haircuts and had the hairdresser whip it all off to a No 2.
Last year, I started to let it grow back and a month or so ago, I had the one haircut. The hairdresser was a very nice lady in Somersham, but it grew out and I had to decide this Saturday. Could I face spending half my morning going to a hairdresser, getting a fist full of hair rammed down my shirt where it would itch like crazy, have my wallet emptied and, worst of all, be obliged to put up with a stream of inane questions and chit-chat.
So, out came the clippers and off it all came, very short indeed, a No 0!
Big has been used to these changes in my cranial flora, so she didn’t bat an eyelid.
Small has got used to me being rather more furry:
“Daddy, stick it back on”
“Daddy, grow it back” (apparently I was expected to do this overnight)
“Daddy, your head’s the wrong shape” (I blame Jax for this one :-()

Look, it isn’t my fault that the bottom half of your head is brown and the top half white! It just looks unbalanced…I didn’t realise he was listening that closely 😉
This post is useless without pictures! 😆
FOFF 🙂
:rofl: Jax!
Sounds like an improvement 🙂
Thank you, Alison.
I think.
Yeah, you looked like my dad at Helen’s! (At least, that is what Max said and i felt an overwhelming urge to be polite to you!)
I just have a bit of a weakness for a very short haircut … it’s probably something worryingly Oedipal 😆
Hmm, or rather, Electra—- what’s the adjective meaning like Electra then? Electran? Electral? Electric?
Oi! That’s my bloke you’re dissing, I like him with hair!
! I’m not dissing him! That was Merry! Though, not having met her dad, I’m not sure if looking like him is even actually an insult 😉 But there’s nothing like the feel of a grade 1 …
Oh yes, I do like the feel of a number 1. Especially if you rub your hand over it the wrong way 🙂
I agree with Alison and Joyce 😉
Me too 🙂 even if it doesn’t quite cover all the head!
Our kids as so used to DH with a grade 0 or 1 that they think its hilarious to see pics of him with hair. However when I did DS3 with a number 4 he spent a good amount of time screaming “Make me normal, thats not my hair, I want normal hair”. At least he wasn’t unevenly sunkissed though 😉
mmmmmmmm….shaved heads are lovely to stroke. When I shaved mine I would spend ages stroking my own head.
Jax – he looked like Robert Kilroy-Silk……
!!!
When he had it cut in Somersham, which was rather more than a month ago I think, it was just about perfect length – not long, not short. It had got a bit out of control, but I prefer hair to no hair I’m afraid, and I’m sticking with that opinion.
Robert bleeding Kilroy bleeding Silk!!!!
