She was born with it, came into this world with a fuzzy red head. Bob and I were both totally confused. As she got older, and her hair grew, it started to highlight and she has copper, blond, red, and strawberry blond color streaks in it. I actually have people ask me if I had her hair highlighted. She's 4 now, and this has been going on since her hair grew past her shoulders.
I was always hesitant to cut it because 1) I wanted it to get long and 2) cutting Sydney's hair would be like trying to cut a lions mane. It's not gonna happen and someone is gonna get hurt. But her hair got out of control. She is very tender headed (yet stubborn as a mule, go figure) and it got to a point for a bit where I would have to throw it up in a bun tangles and all. Here is an example of how her hair would often look. And a gratuitous picture of Sam-Sam.
It was shortly after this day that I took her to have her hair cut for the first time. She really didn't want to go because she was afraid, but her big brother had his cut too so she decided it might not be so bad. You can see Nana and Sam-Sam in the background!
Afterwards, I was a little concerned because it was so sharp! It didn't look soft like it always had. But as it dried, it started to look really cute. We went to the mall and Andy took some really good pictures of the kids.
Now that it's been about a month since she had a haircut, her hair has softened and looks beautiful. Her Aunt M misses the wild and crazy Sydney hair, but I think she looks great with the shorter hair.
