Just for a little background on me: my training is in hairdressing; I was trained as a Colorist, to be more precise. I went through vocational school, during high school, and actually lived to tell about it! After graduating I got a job at this amazing salon. When I say amazing, I mean amazing. This place will knock your socks off. Seriously. I loved working there; it really was one of the best times of my life. But, then I met Daniel and I realized I couldn't breathe with out him. So, off I went to Alaska where I traded in color, fashion, great haircuts and fantastic friends for a huge moose living in my side yard, snow, domestic life, snow, hot water in the toilet(!), gorgeous mountains, LOVE, and a lot more snow. The snow really was out of control.Now, I have a daughter. A daughter with a lot of hair - really gorgeous hair that has never been cut (except for her bangs which are now grown out). But, a girl can only grow her hair for so long before it starts to get a little crazy. Right now Eve's hair is wild - it really needs something. But what? I should know the answer to this question, it's just that when it comes to Eve's hair I am a little bit sentimental. I'll probably cry when the scissors come within a mile's proximity.
So, do you have any suggestions? A trim, a cute bob (sob!), layers, nothing?

oh wow! Her hair is beautiful!!! i love it! Honestly...she has the sweetest face for some sort of short bob cut, in my opinion! BUT....I also think just getting a few inches off the bottom would look cute too! Honestly...i think no matter what you do...she will still look as sweet as she does now! :)
Layers is my vote. I think she would look so adorable with long layers. It's different, but not TOO different.
Oh good heavens!! Nothing! It's beautiful. I love it. Is it unhealthy?
She'll be adorable no matter what you do to her hair!
Eve has beautiful hair. I love her hair the length it is, but maybe a few inches off the bottom. A bob would look cute, but maybe to drastic all at once. I think layers would be to grown up.
What does Eve want?
She has beautiful hair!! I would definitely leave the length. Maybe take a inch or two off nothing drastic.
How did you meet your husband?
And any tips on how to get a very active 2.5 year old to sit still for a haircut?!
I love the Hair and would hate to see it go, but if you do decide to cut it, may I make a suggestion?
It is Christmas time, and it's all about giving. My suggestion is this:

Ashley has decided to do it after the first of the year (she is still not brave enough to cut her hair).
The organization takes your daughters hair, and they make wigs for children with cancer. They will send you a picture of a child with cancer, wearing the wig so that your child can see it.
little girls are so sweet with long hair. I say maybe one inch but that's all. She's really cute!
I think Michelle's idea is great, but is Eve ready for such a change? I remember taking my hair from medium length to short and I cried for days and I'm an adult.
I might start with a trim. Although you could trim about 4-5 inches and shape it nicely all around. Of course she'll look beautiful no matter what you choose to do.
It's beautiful!! I think you should just leave it the way it is! : )
That's a tough one. She indeed has beautiful hair. Locks of Love is a good idea and I have a soft spot for a cute "bob" on a little girl. As others have said, she'll look adorable no matter what you decide.
It is so gorgeous!
Oh gosh Andrea why must you do this to us? LOL!!
Her hair is so beautiful. I have to pass with this one because I'm partial to long hair. I have only trimmed Alli's. I think Alli's is about as long as Eve's BUT I also think a cute lil bob would fit her perfect. Ahhh! Too hard LOL!!
Her hair so gorgeous. I would not layer it! We layered Madison's a year ago and when you have layers you have to maintain it. And that is hard. I would just trim it.....it is so pretty..
I love her hair!!! Keep it long maybe just a couple of inches to trim the ends. But, otherwise it is perfect! I wonder if my Hannah will EVER grow hair??? I plan on letting it grow long as well!
I think her hair is gorgeous as is. Maybe a couple of inches off the bottom, as others have said. Boy do I wish Gwen would grow hair, but I'm sure she never will!!
I did exactly the same thing with Krissy. I never cut her hair until it was down to her waist. It was so, so beautiful, just like your daughter's, but it got to where it was just a nightmare to take care of. Too much hair.
I totally understand you not wanting to cut her hair. But when we finally made the move, we had Krissy's hair cut shoulder length, all one length, and I swear, we were thrilled, she looked so cute. And she still had plenty of hair for a pony tail! It was hard to make the decision, but all of us, including, Kris, just loved it. Shoulder length wasn't too traumatic. :-)
Her hair is SOOOOO beautiful! I wouldn't cut it!!!! maybe just clean up the ends.
Always thinking of you...

I hardly ever respond to your blogs anymore, but it's not that I don't read them! There's just something about being comment #47 that makes it feel a little redundant! Maybe I should anyway . . . but, just know that I do read most every day :)
And I like little girls with bobs, but will she want to have long hair like Mommy? Does Daniel have a strong preference? Can't wait to see what you do.
I would cut it, but not too short. I think little girls should have long hair. If she has enough hair, locks of love is a good idea. I know they have a minimum lenghth though.
Oh please please please don't do Locks of Love. 1, they don't make wigs for kids with cancer but for kids with alopecia, which, while devastating, is not life-threatening. 2, they often sell hair they are given to raise money for synthetic wigs, because human-hair wigs are too hot and expensive for most children. So you really do need to know to whom you are giving.
I have long hair, about as long as Eve's, and I say just trim it--get the ends evened up and then leave it, unless it's too much of a pain for you/her to care for.
what beautiful hair! I'm jealous! LOL I would probably still keep it longish but cut it to just below the shoulders or mid-back; I'm sure it grows fast either way!
GAHHH! I don't know:( I love it long but I'm sure it is a nightmare to maintain. I don't think it would be too traumatizing if you cut it to just below the shoulders...such a difficult decision...I'm not too sure about the bob, Andie.
