Hello! My DD first haircut was just a fringe trim to get it out of her eyes...now she just has trims to neaten it up so that it grows healthy. her hair is very curly and although it is down below her shoulder blades it bounces back up to her neck because of the curls...although my sister is a hairdresser so she does it..would probably be far more nervous if i didn't know the hairdresser!
