Mr F couldn't take the heat with his long(er) hair and ponytail so I've just cut it for him, at his request. I've been offering since last September but he was insistent he wanted to leave it to grow so I stopped asking in February, knowing he wouldn't be able to cope with a sweaty head when the weather warmed up. It was so long at the back I had to hack it with scissors first so I could get the clippers through it, there was one minor "accident" where I took too much off but I covered my arse by saying "remember when you had flu and got all those little patches where your hair fell out? There's still one here but you can only see it when I brush your hair the wrong way".
