I took my daughter for a haircut. Her now 9-year-old tresses needed a trim.
She left like this:
I wish I could share the audio of my hubby when he saw her.
And a picture of the look he gave me. Ouch.
He was so relieved when we let him in on our secret.
I’ll tell you too {it’s just a fancy pink-colored hair clip that looks very real}.
Heart attack avoided.
And cool Mom inserted.
Y’all have a happy weekend, okay?
I love it. I bet your husband did have a small fit! Very cool mom! Did you let her wear it to school today?
I almost had a heart attack when I realized that if MY 9 yr old saw that picture, she’d be on me forEVER! But I like that it’s a clip on thingy – I might just have to be a cool mom, too!
That is funny! It reminds me of the angry looks and silent treatment my sister and I received when we went with the fake tatoos and fake nose rings. Good times, good times.
Very cool! I am gonna have big trouble when my girls get that age, cause I will be all like “it’s just hair, go for it” and my man will be all like “Huh!?!?!? I don’t think so!!!”
But the clippy thing may just save our marriage!
I want one for my crazy 29 year old hair.
Boy let me tell you a little story. Once I went to the salon to get my hair done and when the girl rinsed it, my WHOLE HEAD looked like that…. I WISH it had been a little clip. I ended up having to dye my hair black cherry to fix it and even still you could see hot pink in the sunlight.
I wish I had a picture of the look on my face when I saw it.
Syd has begged for a year for some streak in her hair. I told her we could do it, but then she chickens out. I don’t think it would look very good anyway in her dark brown hair. Maybe I need to get her a clip.
We have these little clips –love them!
I gave you an award bundle!
Aww… I love it!
That was a good one!
When I was little my mother had hair down to her waist. She bought a VERY short haired wig and played a joke on my dad…it was so funny!
You are TOO cool!
I think it looks adorable!
I took my daughter to my hairdresser for her 5th birthday and she got hot pink highlights in her long blonde hair and they were gorgeous!! They lasted for 6 weeks. By the end it was just the merest hint of pink but she loved them!
You are SO cool! Wish I were as cool as you – our school won’t let the kids have “colors” in their hair. I’m sure my DH would have more than a few words to say anyway……
THIS household actually has a pink hair stick thingy that puts a nice pink streak ON the hair. Because I am cool too! (I think)
This past summer I took my oldest to get a summer cut and he got a temporary black streak on his blonde hair. He thought he was the bomb and I was the coolest mom ever.
Lol. Thats great.
Great compromise…everyone wins! he looks so cute, btw!
Hmm….my 10 year old needs a haircut. I wonder how my hubby would react?
I want one of those!
You have to pick your battles and I think hair is the least of a parent’s worries. It’s not permanent at least! I love her look! I think those clips are great.
at my blog I have my favorite pics from 2008 the last one is my girls, my oldest works at a very trendy hair salon where I dropped off my year old to get her hair done for Christmas pics, I ran to The Gap to get a gift and came back to a 9 year old that wasn’t ready for any Christmas picture I was willing to mail to her grandparents, it was also a clip in
LOL I bet the look you got from your hubby was somewhat similar to the look I got from mine when he found our daughter in the process of turning her hair pink. Only hers is real! She wants to try blue next. We’ll see.

Good job, Cool MOM!
