Bye to a dream

We've probably had more issues with Peter's hair and scalp then Gaelle's hair. Gaelle takes longer to style but Peter's scalp took a while to conquer. His scalp was so dry and we couldn't get it under control no matter what we put on it. And we had lots of suggestions... we tried it all. Finally Robin shaved his head bald and we started from scratch. Since March we've been doing fine with the scalp and Peter has decided he would like long hair. His dream hair style is a nice afro... longer than an inch.



He's been working at combing out his tight curls and his hair has grown a bit since March. But it was time for a trim... at least on top. Robin was willing to trim but we decided to go to a black barber and get it done right. Did I mention he has tight curls? Really tight!

He didn't want to go and get it cut. He wants it long. But we convinced him this was necessary and so we all headed out. The barber asked him what style he would like and he pointed out the perfectly smooth 4 inch afro. Not enough hair. So he went for a neat trim. The barber took off more than we expected but it looks sharp. He is an artist and was so meticulous. Totally worth the $11. Peter is pleased and for now has given up the dream of the 4 inch long hair.
