​So my 7yr old got a deal and he took that deal…we had to cut his locks…he loved it and enjoyed his locks for a long time. But it was hard to maintain and he had to sit for hours and in pain if and when we pay $40 in other countries to get it done. So on December 21st we decided it’s time but we made sure to get his contribution on the matter… so with the help of his grandparents making some deals with him where he got some shopping money he agreed to cut the locks…. so you see if this photos each family member gets to cut a lock off. It started with him first and everyone in the family got to cut one for him. And then his mema finished it off… in the subsequent pictures you see he got a hair cut with his dad and you can just see the excitement in his face it’s priceless. He is just loving the hair….now what next…?? Happy Holidays with the new look

We also explained to him that his hair does not define who he is….it’s freedom to be able to cut your hair and not be attached to the hair. We told him if he want the locks back he can always grow it back but then we have to commit to do it right. Since this one really was a mistake that turned into locks. 

He spent the whole 1hour after the hair cut in the mirror in the bathroom playing with it…and saying now I see why you said I should cut it….it really looks good mommy and I love it. 

Here are all his most recent pictures…. 

We allowed him to cut the first one…

Then his daddy 

Then his Papa….

And we all got a chance to cut his locks…after we allowed his mema to cut the rest and finish the process…

Half way there…he had about 72 locks….

And all gone…

And he got a professional to put the art of work on his head….like father like son. 

He was really happy with the results and smiles all night…
