ROAD-HAWK

Last August Silas requested a mohawk. I obliged. October brought a request for a half-hawk. I obliged. From the day he decided to get rid of the half-hawk he's been growing his hair back out for a specific style. One he's never seen before. Today he asked me to give him a road-hawk. I obliged.

The "before" picture - normal hair & his favorite silly face.

.
Combed and clipped.

Shaved & combed out.
.
.
.
Conditioned and curly - from the top.

From the back. I promise the bottom is more even than it looks. Curls just don't stay in straight lines.

From the front.

And that, my dear readers, is how I earned some "cool mom" points today. I simply gave my son the road-hawk (named as such because it looks like a road running over the top of his head) when he wanted one.

Cool! I remember how many parents were so determined that their kids have "normal" hair when they were growing up that I decided that I would not have hair fights with my kids. So, of course, I have a boy who only wants boring haircuts!! I definitely admire you for letting your kids express themselves through hair!!

I will say that Silas has a great imagination when it comes to his haircuts!! ;) He's a cutie, just like his brother and sister, but then you already knew that, huh?

Makes him look older. Like, about fifty years older.
