Most children have had their hair cut before they are in kindergarten. But, not my Olivia. Olivia’s hair has taken its sweet time to grow and I just couldn’t part with one millimeter of it.
Finally, at five and a half years old, I gave in and let scissors snip away some of my daughter’s baby soft hair. Olivia was thrilled — albeit a little scared that the hair dresser might slip and cut her.
Of course, for the finishing touch, Olivia asked the hair dresser to paint on a little temporary pink. A girl can always use more pink.
2025 Life Update
It’s now 2025 and Olivia is currently in training to become a hairdresser. Looking back at this post of her first haircut brings back so many memories… and I can’t believe she’ll soon be cutting other people’s hair… and perhaps even giving children their own first haircuts.
Here’s a look at a few other key moments in Olivia’s childhood that I shared with our readers over the years here at 5 Minutes for Mom.
- Olivia getting her ears pierced.
- The sport that became such a huge part of her life… cheerleading
- Olivia dressed in the Minnie Mouse costume I sewed for her.
- Olivia and I dressed in our Poison Ivy and Daisy Taylor Swift Eras Tour Outfits.
Raising Olivia has been so much fun and I loved sharing so many moments with our friends, readers, and other mom bloggers during the incredible time of the “mommy blogging” era.

Through your blog I can relate my childhood moments with your daughter. I remember my days when my mother took me for a hair cut and I started crying because I want to grow my hairs but I think somewhere my mother was right.

Ah yes. Pink is a good thing and Olivia is adorable! Love her new ‘do’! My grand daughter’s hair is still baby fine at age 7 although she’s had a few haircuts because of styles she and her brother have given her themselves! Ooooooo

What a sweetie! She’s too cute. I haven’t taken our 2 1/2 year old for a hair cut yet, and don’t know when I will. I can’t bear to part with her curls.

Aw, she is adorable! My daughter is about the same age as yours (turning 6 this summer) and she got a first hair cut a few months ago. I think I was more nervous than she was!
