A RIGHT OF PASSAGE

FOR EVERY GIRL 

STARTING MIDDLE SCHOOL

A REAL HAIRCUT.

FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER, COME AUGUST, I WOULD TRIM A COUPLE OF SUN BLEACHED INCHES OFF SOPHIA'S HAIR.  THIS SUMMER SHE'S BEEN COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS UNTIL SHE CAN GET A REAL HAIR CUT.

TODAY IS THE DAY,
AND SHE'S READY.

KATIE, WHO CUTS MOM AND MY HAIR,
GOT RIGHT TO IT.

JUST THE BLEACHED ENDS,
WITH A LITTLE FEATHERING, IN THE BACK.

NOW FOR THE LAYERING IN THE FRONT,

DRYING,

AND VOILA!

THE FINISHED PRODUCT!!!
I LOVE IT SOPHIA!
NOW YOU'RE READY FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL.
