HAIR (or lack thereof)

Jay has been growing his hair out for over two years now. He first wanted long hair so he could have a ponytail like all of the captains in Horatio Hornblower (but that was when he was only 10). Then, I think, he just liked his long hair. But he recently decided that he'd had enough of long hair and we made an appointment to have it cut. I took him to my hair cutter, Terry, because she is the best in the world (as far as I can tell).


I was certain Jay would have second thoughts, but he didn't seem to. His attachment to his hair was simply physical, not emotional.


As you can see, he's an excellent hair-grower.


Jay decided to donate his hair to Locks of Love, so Terry had his hair braided into two long plaits and chopped them off like that.


Annie was shocked when she saw her big brother's short hair.


Jay thoroughly enjoyed a nice hair washing.


Jay was a very good boy and sat very still during the cut.


The final result is quite handsome.


Some lucky person is going to get a wig made of Jay's shiny, healthy hair.
