My client Devyn is the
definition of a girl's girl and
one of the
sweetest kids ever.
There was a little girl getting
her hair colored across the hall
and Devyn kept looking over
there
and basically ran out of my
chair when we finished
to go tell her how pretty she
looks.
She's only five and she did so
good during this appointment.
We did have a few tears
during the cut.
She's a bit tender headed
but once we got over to the
shampoo bowl,
it was smooth from there on
out,
which I will say is usually the
opposite.
I feel like most kids don't mind
the haircut part,
but then they give me a hard
time at the shampoo bowl.
So this was a win in my book
because the shampoo
process is a lot longer than the
haircut. Also,
see how her hair refused
to get wet before and now it's
taking in the water?
This is what we need. If your
hair cannot get wet,
you will not be able to hydrate
or retain any moisture in your
hair,
no matter what porosity you
think your hair is.
All hair needs water and all
hair needs to be able to get
wet anyways.
I feel like I go through these
phases
where I have back to back
kids appointments
and then I'll go through like
a month with no little clients.
And lately my schedule has
been all adults,
but this week I have A ton of
kids coming in.
Devyn also came in today all
the way from Baltimore.
Her and her mom road tripped
up here,
so that was like, so crazy to
me.
I have a bunch of adult clients
who drive to me from New
York,
from Maine, all over.
But to road trip with a five
year old,
that is pure dedication and I
am so honored.
Devyn had a very hard time
not touching her hair while it
was wet
and while I was drying it,
so we went for a more of a
voluminous look over a super
defined look
just because I knew she'd be
touching it anyways.
and my girl was dancing, so I
know she was loving it.
She helped me fluff out her
root with the pick,
which was so cute.
And I also think it's kinda
pointless to try and fight the
volume ever
because volume is gorgeous,
but especially with kids,
they're gonna be touching
and fluffing it anyways.
So, yeah,
just embrace it. Here's how it
came out
and we're obsessed with it.
