The Emily-Inspired Haircut

It's the height of summer, and super-sticky outside. I fell in love with my friend Amy's daughter Emily's hair, which is cut up to the nape of her neck and angles down against her jawline. (No, Jackie, I am not turning into that crazy woman that spends hours every morning braiding and curling and taking pictures of her daughters' hair, and I couldn't find that website again if you had a gun to my head).

I didn't cut it as short as Emily's because a)I have no idea what I'm doing and b) I would have kept evening out both sides until her hair fell at eyebrow level.

She looked in the mirror and exclaimed, "I look beautiful!".

I wonder where she gets THAT from??? :)

Oh my god, she looks GREAT!!!! You did a great job Mary! Can you now come to Missouri and trim my hair???

She looks so adorable. I can't wait to show Em when she gets up.

Adam talked about "lena" today and that he wants to play with her again! I love 3 year olds.

Tell "lena" she looks awesome! Give her hugs from her Missouri friends!

She looks great. Next time you should donate all that hair to locks of love. I have a feeling her hair grows as fast as yours does. I wish I could find that crazy lady hair blog again. It was so fun to see someone was kookier than me.

I found it. It's http://shedoeshair.blogspot.com/ - and she's still as crazy as ever, but she seems to have a huge following. I'm going to go wake Ana up and and glue bows to her head.

Amy, I'd be happy to! Let me look and find a good bowl for your head. :)

Hugs to all of you.

Jackie, Locks of Love is a fantastic organization, but they need hair that is at least 10 inches long, which is currently about a third of my kid's height. Maybe when she's older. The longest piece I cut off was about 5 inches.

Mary - I think Locks of love will take hair that is at least 6 inches long. They sell it on the open market and use the $$ to pay for the wigs.

Emily was so excited when I showed her this post.

If Jennifer Aniston inspired the "Rachel Cut" maybe this can be called the "Emily cut?" :)
