Hair Beware

Apparently I have something of a reputation as a rogue hairstylist that I have been completely unaware of.  I have nearly always cut my boys' hair but have never before left them bald or given them the flock of seagulls look.

We bought new Wahl clippers at Target last night and both of the shaggy boys were itching for trims.  Justin told me, "I want you to cut it as short as you can without making me bald.  I want peach fuzz."  He has thick hair like I do so I can sympathize and threw on the 1/4" attachment.  It was quick work to sheer him down and send him to the shower.

Sam's hair is a little finer and while easier to cut it takes a little more finesse to work with.  He said he wanted his hair as short as Justin's at first, but his Mom told him he'd better go look at Justin's hair first.  He came back saying, "I don't want my hair as short as Justin's."  We agreed on the 5/8" attachment.  Vrooom, the hair starts coming off.  Halfway through taking off the top Sam suddenly demanding, "Don't you dare give me a hammock!"

I quickly realize, of course, that he meant to say "mohawk."  But it is very possible in fact I'm certain it's unlikely that I ever threatened him with such a do.
