Raising Gracie: To Cut or Not to Cut?

It has been over 2 years and we still have not cut Gracie’s hair. When she finally started to grow hair, after her 1st birthday, I told Paul we were NOT going to give her bangs. Although bangs have made a wonderful comeback and can be quite stylish, I still cannot get over my own childhood bangs that started mid scalp. As her hair began to grow, we parted it to the side thinking it would eventually tuck behind her ear. Well, it has been another year and still no luck. We have tried bows, headbands, ponytails, and lately hair spray (not sure what the rules are about kids and hair spay, so please do not judge). The bows are working better and better these days and we are still working on pony or pigtails. Our day care provider is even giving us updates on how long she keeps her bows and ponies in. It was 4 hours the other day! So, the question is do we finally cut her hair so she can see, or keep going? My vote is keep going!! Besides, I am just not ready for the first hair cut yet.

Here is a peak at the progression of Grace's hair from 16 months to 2+ years.

One of my good friends recently opened an Etsy shop for her hair bows. Anyone who has girls, these are adorable (not to mention she has an adorable model)!
