Chance makes a fashion statement

While it doesn't do the cut justice, you can still almost
make out the cut

Who could have guessed almost seven years ago when Chance got his implants that someday down the road, the scars would become trendy?
Just goes to show that you never know what is going to happen in this world.

Chance's fashionable moment started when we pulled up to the hairdresser's.  I had taken the boys to the appointment right after I picked them up from school so we had not had time to discuss hair cutting.  I thought we were just going to do the usual, you know,"Give us the usual Leann."  But my boys had other plans which they sprung on me as we raced into the building so we wouldn't be late.

There was talk about some sort of stripe on the sides of their heads.

Being a conservative person with hair,  I was leery. Stripes?  This did not sound like an attractive look to me, but Chance's brother pulled a picture up on his lap top to show me what they were talking about.
OK, is was not as bad as it initially sounded and the boys would not end up looking like they belonged to some sort of grungy boy band in the end, so I let them have a go at it.

They were very excited and we showed my friend the picture on the computer so she would know what to do.

It was not until Chance's hair cut was well underway that I thought about the scars from his implant surgeries that are vertical.  The strip look is horizontal.  It suddenly occurred to me that this haircut might end up either high lighting his implant scars in an unattractive way, or just look plain dorky.

Chance doesn't wear his implants while his hair is being cut, so  my friend and I had a short discussion and then decided to proceed with the stripes anyway.

And wouldn't you know, when all was said and done,  it looked great!

As my friend took the cape off of Chance's neck, she said,"You know, the scars kind of make it look cool."

I had to agree that was the case.

So now Chance has a stylin' hair cut and it is truly unique to him.  This is not a look that just anyone can get, you have to just have it naturally.  Others can look in envy and want the look for themselves, but only Chance can pull this look off in the end:)
