The Haircut

It's been almost nine months since Henrik's last haircut, and we, his faithful servants, decided to give him a little trim. His long hair lays flat against his scalp, and people were starting to get confused as to whether he was a boy or a girl. First, we tried a pair of dull paper scissors, bad choice. So we switched to some new heavy duty shop scissors. They did the trick, but he moves around so damned much, and we really aren't clear on how to use scissors effectively. After cropping his bangs, we called it a night, to continue the next day.

The electric clippers were far more effective, but Henrik still moved around a lot. No bald spots, but it wasn't quite as neat as we might've hoped. Oh, and there's that little issue with the hairline in back. We can't help but burst into laughter every time we see it. So sue me, I blame the boy.
