Asher's New Do

We've been growing out Asher's hair for a while now so we could put little twists/dreads in it. It still looks short but his hair curls up so tight, when you pull out a few strands, it's actually about 3-4 inches long. So we took him to his favorite stylist, Lizzy, recently to see if it was long enough to do the dreads. She said she thought it was & that since his hair is so super curly, it should hold the twists well.

Here's his before shots...

And 2 1/2 hours later, 2 suckers and a breakfast bar eaten, a few tears shed, and lots of time spent on the iPad mini, he had a new do...

I was actually really shocked that he would sit that long but he did great! We think he likes it because when we got home he ran into Abby's room and said, "Abby! Look at my hair!" Then throughout the day he would touch it and smile and say, "My hair!" ;-)

He's "supposed" to sleep with a do-rag on his head but it's typically off by the time he wakes up in the morning...

Perty cute kid, if you ask me ;-)
