Marilou starts with very long straight black hair. She is willing to go short, just not too short. Her hair is gathered into a low ponytail. The barber cuts off the ponytail with scissors. Clippers buzz the remaining length off above the ears. A bit of the nape is buzzed as well. Scissors cut a bit more off the top ensuring that the buzzed sections are exposed. A straight razor cleans around the hairline. Marilou looks cute in her new short cut.
