She has really thick hair so my mom always gave her a bowl cut because it was easier to take care of. I don't think I'll give LO a bowl cut. Sweet T on "Did you have a bowl cut growing up?

And I thought it looked so cute! Unfortunately my son's hair just grows out like that! hahaha. Even the hair stylist said "Oh! He's just born to have a bowl cut!". I think it looks cute on him though. We tried cutting it shorter but the top of his hair grows faster than the hair around his face so it just ends up looking bowlish. =\ chopsuey on "Did you have a bowl cut growing up?

It's so funny and my mom says that her mom literally used bowls to make the cut even. Not planning on doing one my kid, but her hair is way too curly to do it even if I wanted.

Charlie has had 2 accidental bowl cuts after two bad haircuts (in a salon). I thought I would want to subject my children to the rite of passage that is a bowl cut, but I hated Charlie's bowl haha. So no more bowls for him or Olive! Did you have a bowl? Will you give your LO a bowl cut?
