When I was a teenager I cut my hair alone with a couple of friends hair and cousin Helen loved it! So she told my daddy she wanted me to cut her hair. Daddy had been in his bottle and bragged saying yes she cuts mine too. Anyways I didn't want to cut her hair bc I didn't know what I was doing, we were young and dumb, my daddy was tipsy and all I had to do was cut his completely off with the clippers. After that first cut she loved it, I guess for the next two yrs she would come by so I could give her a $5 cut. I will always remember how she hyped me up and boosted my ego. Rest In Peace sweet lady, you're missed already 🫶🏿🫶🏿🫶🏿🫶🏿🫶🏿
