My Resolution Success and Failure Before the New Year: A Mohawk

Have you ever had or do you currently have a mohawk haircut? It’s something I’ve always wondered how it would look on me, so I decided to attempt cutting my own hair to see what it would look like.

When I went to get my haircut, the hairdresser refused to do it since she figured my wife would hate it (probably true), and now that Going Mom cuts my hair (except this time), she too refuses to grant my haircut wish. Guess the hairdresser has seen this from other married men in the past!

For the New Year, I decided one of my resolutions would be to have a mohawk and finally see how my large head would appear sporting the look of a Native American warrior!

First, take a look at my main motivation for wanting to cut my hair; bedhead.

No, no, wait, let me show you my “El Confidant” look…

…or lack thereof.

As Avery sat patiently ran all around her gated area throwing everything in site and screaming, I figured now would be the best time to make a first attempt at cutting my hair.

I setup in our living room for Avery to watch and had my cape, vacuum, cardboard box, and shears ready. *Buzzzzzzzzz* And off with my head hair!

Gaaahhhhh! WTF did I just do?!

Geeehhhhh, nothing good, that’s what!

And the most annoying part about my “longer” hair is how it goes over my ears. I still couldn’t manage to get that right!

After getting a big raspberry thumbs down from Avery, I ended my minute of mohawkdom and buzzed it all off.

Yeah, that’s better. Finally, I got the hair over my ears too!

Not bad for a novice, huh? Unless you count the mohawk, which I’m not!

And with that, I succeeded and failed at my New Year’s resolution before it even arrived!

Have you ever jumped the gun on a resolution and failed before the new year?

How do you like the haircut?

  1. Nice try at the hair do! I had a faux-hawk for ages, but never dared the full thing.

    I’m liking the beard though, maybe try a facial haired new year instead?

    1. Thank you. I’m glad I tried it out, but definitely not something I could pull off, even if someone else cut it good!

      I think I like the beard and the short hair combo and will try it out for a while. I guess I’ll just have to let it grow on me! Ha ha! Sorry, I enjoy corny jokes.
