We did it. We finally did it.
The Mini Athlete got a haircut.
It needed to happen. This is him the morning of his haircut. Check out that poof!
As necessary as I knew it was, it still wasn’t easy. I love all those big baby curls! I actually had a hard time finding a hairdresser in our area willing to cut his hair. Apparently not too many are familiar with mixed baby hair. But we received a recommendation for a hair salon about twenty minutes away and I booked the appointment.
I could not have been happier with the Mini Athlete’s first haircut. He absolutely loved it! Seriously his reaction when she started cutting. Maybe he knew it was time too?
Such a happy little camper.
The stylist knew what she was doing and finished right before the Mini Athlete started getting fidgety. His new cut looks so good!
Such a handsome little man.
When did your baby get his/her first haircut?
We almost made it to 15 months!

Ahhh, he looks adorable with his new cut! Cal was over a year old. It was actually right after his first birthday. He didn’t have much hair. Mack was a little younger, but I actually can’t really remember (2nd child syndrome, although I know it’s in my scrapbooks). Mini-A is a heartbreaker!
cuuute! my daughter is a week older than mini athlete and she is not anywhere near a first haircut hahaha..
My son is grown now, but I remember when he got his first hair cut. He was 1 year old. That was one of his birthday presents. The texture of his hair was the same as the mini athlete. I was at work when his hair was cut so I don’t know what his reaction was. I missed his hair. I am sure he was better off without it.
Of course the mini athlete is so handsome.
My daughter got her bangs trimmed for the first time at 18 months and her first real haircut at 2 years old. I many have teared up a little when the stylist snipped away her baby curls.
We are right behind you – probably sometime this month. I want his hair on the longer side but he has a big poof too
!!!!
Awww… he looks so precious! We started trimming Eli’s hair at home when he was about 1. His first real haircut at a salon was at 20 months. It is about time to go again, too!
That first picture cracks me up. I don’t know if it’s the poofiness or the pose in the chair or the look on his face like “What? You lookin’ at me?” or a combination, but I can’t help but smile!
He is SOOO cute!! ahh!
He’s absolutely precious. My son got his first haircut at around 20 months, but he was a white blond baldy for a longtime
what a precious little peanut!! he looks so good!! <– not that he didn't before
What a doll! He is the most handsome little man.
We’re STILL waiting on giving my daughter her first cut, and she’s 27 months! She was such a baldy until recently. Now that she finally has hair, I’m not sure I’ll be able to bring myself to cut it. #mommyproblems.
Oh my goodness what a cutie! Love how happy he was during the cut!
My son was over 2. He had Nellie Olsen curls falling all over his head, but was never confused with being a girl, probably from his big belly & a cookie in each hand. I cried when we got his hair cut. Now (age 14), when his hair gets a bit long, it starts to curl up & I love it, but he quickly had it in crew cut before I have a chance to play with it…. If only he would realize how much teenage girls LOVE guys with curly hair…
Super duper adorable!!!!!
Oh my goodness. So cute!!!!!!!!!
How cute!! It’s looks like you handled it pretty well, too!
Oh my goodness! Just when I didn’t think he could get any more adorable!
Our 9 mo. old probably won’t get his first trim till he is 2…he still has mega fine old man hair with a peacock fan in back.
Oh my gosh, he is so adorable!
He looks so cute!!!
With my first, he was 11 months old and had a horrible mullet so we just had to do it. Thankfully my SIL is a hairdresser so she did it without causing any tears. With the 2nd little man we made it longer (he had less hair) and he only needed a little trim off the back so he didn’t get food stuck in it all the time.
