The Time Has Come

What's that saying?  Fool me once -- shame on you; fool me twice -- shame on me??  What should the saying be when we're right back to square (or should I say nest?) one with Jane's hair for the FOURTH time in two years?  Jane, Jane, Jane.  I really thought the third time was a charm and she'd finally get into the habit of brushing her hair often enough to keep the rat's nest at bay.  But the shame is ALL on me.  And now, I've got some major detangling to do this weekend before I take her to get her haircut for real.

 (She did NOT want anymore photographic evidence of her hair.  Let's just say we're back to "smoothing" into a ponytail everyday.)

I've threatened before to make her get a pixie cut if she can't keep up with the brushing, but she's pretty emotionally adamant that she does NOT want one, and I'm trying to decide if I'll have pity on her.  {Spoiler alert -- I probably will.}   She has agreed that something needs to be done, however, and since I got my hair cut last week (it's just barely chin length), she's willing to go as short as mine. Hopefully, by next Monday, we'll have a brand new before and after to showcase!  ;)

(Not the best picture in the world, but you get the idea of how short she'll be going.)
