Pigtails pixie

Sometime during our summer trip, Eyang Putri got it into her mind to braid Kecil's hair into a pair of pigtails, and she did. And Kecil loved it soo much, she kept asking for Mama for such tails ever since.

She wore her 'tails' in Bali, in Yogyakarta, in Bogor, even back when she went back to Skool! It was definitely a relief for Mama, who had been getting the itchy fingers about Kecil's hair, especially on days when it was just left unbraided, messy.... you know. Something like this....

Ahaha... big hair! Well... actually, given the fine texture, Kecil's hair will never compete with Mama's, but still. Anyway... Mama had resigned herself to dealing with Kecil's hair as is, especially when Kecil said she wanted to keep the hair long. But maybe Mama cheated a bit. Still remember the car wash?

It was a very hot day then, a perfect day for washing the car, don't you think? I guess the heat really got into Kecil, for straight from there, she actually asked for a hair cut. Haha! Score! And since it was a big deal (right after her pledge to be like Rapunzel!), Mama thought it warranted a trip to a proper hairdresser.

So... to a hairdresser we went, and Kecil got too shy to climb on the chair. Haha... but finally we managed, and suddenly, we ended up with a little, cute pixie.

It was just a straight cut right above the neck. Perhaps we can try a bit of bob next time. In the mean time, she seems to like it, and Mama and Daddy too. A little Pixie. How cool is that?
