the big debate...



Short and Spikey...


OR....

Long and Shaggy...



Since Easton has had hair (roughly since he was about 1) there has been this debate about his hair. I like it long and shaggy and I think he looks so cute with his little wings and curls... Derek however thinks he looks like a girl. I'd like everyone reading this to sound off and tell me what you think. I don't want Easton to look back and think he looks femmy in all his pictures growing up-- but I just can't decide. It looks cute short as well and now I am really close to cutting it and I just need some feedback... What should we do?!?!?

Personally, i think the curliness of his hair reflects his personality more than a buzz cut.. or whatever the other one is..

We do short at our house. It's the only boy hairstyle the barber here knows. Our options are somewhat limited! I fought cutting Declan's hair but Arron was sick of everyone asking how old our little girl was. One day as we were walking and I was explaining that he SO didn't look like a girl one of Arron's Marines walked by and said "Adorable daughter, sir." I think Arron paid the guy but we did get his hair cut. Short.

I think I like it a little shorter but you could always compromise and go somewhere in between. He's adorable regardless. It's hard to see anything but those beautiful baby blues anyway :o)

I think it's adorable both ways. I agree with Tonya that his eyes are gorgeous. I would try in between, and if you don't like it either grow it out or cut it again.

I like it longer. But maybe that's because my kids have super straight hair and I long for some curls. I do NOT think he looks like a girl-he's about as boy as they come! What a cutie! However, I will support your decision to cut it short. We tried to grow Hudson's hair longer but ended up cutting it short on Tues. (to his dismay). It just wasn't working for him-the bishop asked Boyd why I haven't been doing his hair anymore...we can't have that!

I love short hair. But then it could be because my 7 year old would love for me to let him grow it.

Oooh, this is a tough one. He looks like a little man with the short hair, and I love that with little boys. BUT, the curls are cute and I can't imagine anyone mistaking him for a girl. So I'd do a little of both. Keep it short for a while, then let it grow, then chop it off again.

What would Bon Jovi do?

A mullet gives you both the cute curls and the short spikey look

Char-
My mom went through the same delima. my brother Jake had the prettiest golden locks and my mom couldn't bare to cut them off. She still has a picture of him with his mullet and these golden locks flowing around his shoulders. I say do it both ways and he'll have some fun pictures to look at when he's older. Besides he's adorable either way!

I think I like the short hair. I think it makes him look older but he looks so cute both ways. I have just always been more for the short cut look.

LONG AND SHAGGY! Especially while you live in a mild temp state. I would love to have Gav's hair long year round but it gets so sweaty in the summer. He looks darl with it longer...I'm a hippie at heart, though.

Olivia said...

i changed my mind, i really don't like super short hair in general, go for in the middle or longer.

You know me... I am a sucker for a clean cut cutie! I love the future missionary look! Very dignified!

Holy crap 16 comments in less than 24 hours?!! Who knew this would be such a hot topic?
I THINK MY OPINION COUNTS FOR LIKE 3 VOTES SINCE I AM THE PROFESSIONAL HERE......So I'm thinking Longer and a little messy on the top, short and clean on the sides and back. Best of both worlds. if you fly him out here every 6 weeks I'll cut it for FREE~what a deal that would be!
