My daughter decided a little while ago she would like to have short hair! I think it was mid combing after bath time on one particularly tangly hair night! She also decided she would like a purple stripe put in it! The short hair was got a thumbs up from my husband, the one who has to brush hair every morning, but the purple stripe took a little more convincing. After some talking Dad into it we made an appointment with Marie and got 11 inched cut off and a purple stripe put in! She LOVES it.
