We’ve all been there, right? That moment when you think, “How hard can it be to cut my own hair?” This is exactly what little three-year-old Ella experienced.
Ella decided to give herself a daring haircut, and her parents documented the aftermath on video. When her dad asked, “Why did you cut your hair?” she responded with tears, saying, “Because Ms. Emma cuts it.” Her dad gently reminded her, “But Ms. Emma went to school to learn how to cut hair.” To which Ella replied, “I want to learn how to do it, too. Today was just practice.”
Oh, the heartbreak! Ella, we totally understand your feelings. Who hasn’t attempted to create bangs because they thought it looked easy? But Ella went all out with a mullet—now that’s not just a little trim; that’s aiming for the stars!
One of the best pieces of advice I ever got was, “If you’re going to fail, fail big.” The sweetest part of the video is how it ends with her dad reassuring her, “Your hair will grow back. Just promise you won’t cut it again until you’re older… we’ll get you some scissors then.”
