Caregiving Tips: My Mother-In-Law's Tresses Need Some TLC
I've been researching online for a new haircut for mil. her tresses need some tlc and shortening. I printed off several that knowing her likes (bangs, tops of ears covered) and her hair type, (slightly wavy) that would look good, then I put all the pics in front of my dh (mil's son) he picked the one that I would have chosen, hands down. funny that...now I have a nice note to the beautician that this is the style she should do and the reasons it was chosen, easy care being one, bangs and ears covered being tops. I do hope she likes it once it is done. she's looking a bit straggley.
