Lydia is our delightful little red-head. She had lovely red curly hair; just like her daddy. This spring we grew a bit concerned when her hair began falling out. It was scary how quickly she lost her hair. We had some blood work and such done to make sure everything was ok. It appeared it was just all her baby hair falling out. At the age of 4 she had never had a hair cut. It had never been needed. Her hair just grew in a nice style and had never been an issue.
This hair loss caused her hair to look in a constant state of disaster. So yesterday we had a girls’ evening at the beauty salon and had our hair “done”. She loved it! We had a wonderful lady, Julie, that helped me come up with a plan for Lydia’s hair.

Above is how her hair was….then it became this…..

Huge difference, isn’t it? She didn’t even seem to notice!
This was just a few days ago; you can see that it had grown quite a bit in the past few months.

Her hair is growing back in straight. The top of her head toward the back was long and is still curly underneath. Sides and very front were all different lengths and thin. You can’t tell it in this picture but the back was thin and scraggly looking. (Is that a word, lol?)
So we have the after pics!


We are going to give it a couple of months to grow some more and then shape it up some more. With the texture and partial curl/wave she has going on cutting it any shorter in the back would have been bad. She had about an inch or so cut off the back.
Lydia must have felt like a princess afterwards. She sure acted like one, lol. She is precious! And hopefully we have her hair back on track!
