Making The Cut

June 26th, 2010 by ninja


Mika has been trying to convince me to let her cut her hair short for almost a year. She liked wearing her long hair down, but everything else associated with long hair she didn’t like: the washing, the loooong blow drying, the brushing, the braiding for school, the sweaty neck on hot Summer days.

Her best friend from school recently cut her hair short, and now Mika didn’t want to cut her hair just to shoulder length anymore, but rather all the way up to her ear lobes “like Mica“. Unfortunately, her cut turned out even shorter (mostly in the back) … but Mika loves it nonetheless. By the end of Summer it might look more like what we had intended. Until then, i’ll have to bite my tongue.

    She’s already enjoying the benefits: today’s temperatures might hit 100°F (38°C). Currently it’s 95°F, but “feels like 97°F” due to the humidity. Wearing your long hair down would pose a serious health hazard ;-)

    I came by to check out Mika’s hair, Gaang said it’s cute, even though he hates my short hair, he loves Mika’s short hair.
    I can see why. Very nice! Don’t bite your tongue, Ninja~

    Thanks, Hyewon … i’ll pass it on. His opinion is among the most important. More important than mine for sure ;-)
