My mom is making me get my hair cut to my shoulders tomorrow and I have to do it. It's to my waist now. How do I stay calm I get super nervous?
Try to think of how different you'll look and don't think about all your beautiful hair on the floor. But I got my hair cut 7-8 inches only a month ago, and I had been so nervous! Now I love my new haircut!I'd been SO nervous, because my hair had been down to my butt and now I was going to shear my long, gorgeous hair. I asked the hairdresser if I should cut it, she just took one look and said 'hell, yes!' Then she came over, and with one swipe, she cut off 7 inches of the hair I'd been growing for, like, forever!I felt so FREE!! But a month later, I got used to my new 'do'.Just remember! IT GROWS BACK!!!!

My mom makes me dye my hair blonde/stay a blonde! What should I do?
I would give anything in the world not to have been born with blonde hair. Since I am the only blonde child and my mom used to have natural blonde hair (it turned dark so she dyes it now) she thinks I'm her "precious little blonde girl" and her "beautiful blonde daughter"!!!! I hate it so much! My eyebrows are thick and brown and look horrible with my hair, plus it makes me look much younger and all of my friends agree. Now that it's getting darker (same as my mom did) she forces me to go in and get blonde highlights which make it even worse! Then when I told her I didn't want to get them anymore she flipped out and called me ungrateful and went on and on about how much money she spent and blahh blahh blahh when I didn't even went them in the first place! I appreciate what she is trying to do and that she is willing to spend money on my hair but I honastly think she does it more for herself then me. So, a few weeks ago I decided to dye my hair light brown with semi-permenant hair dye. I loved it! But then when she saw it she CRIED and screamed at me for like an hour. Now it's fading to a nasty orange color and I want to dye it darker but she won't let me! She says that she is going to take me in to get it dyed back to blonde. I'm sorry that this is so long but I need help! How can I make her realize that it's just hair and that I don't want to be a blonde! I look so much better as a brunette, EVERYBODY except my family agrees! Even my dad likes it but my mom won't listen to what I want, she only wants me to be a blonde so she can have one in the family! My brown hair matches my eyebrows, compliments my skin town and makes me look older/more sophisticated! How can I make her see that? Please help!
How can I convince my mom to let me dye my hair?
When my 7 year old asked me if she could dye a streak of her hair, I laughed and said “Of course not.” It was said in a definitive tone with no wiggle room. I wasn’t even going to consider letting her dye her hair. And yet, just 2 weeks later, I brought her to a salon and helped her dye a streak of her hair.What changed? I’m still not completely sure how she got me to change my mind - but she did. Let me try to pick apart what she did during those 2 weeks.She reasoned with me. There was no whining, no complaining, no yelling or tantrums. But she wanted me to explain my reasons for saying “no” - and I had a hard time coming up with good reasons. We talked about hair dyeing as a slippery slope toward tattoos, piercings, etc. - but she was laughing out loud when I was saying this, and I quickly realized how ridiculous I was being. She reassured me that she had zero interest in tattoos, piercings, or any of the other things I mentioned - she only wanted to dye a small streak of her hair.She had impeccable timing. She repeated her request multiple times over several days, but only when I was in a good mood and feeling good about my parenting skills. She asked about dying her hair after she had taken all her medications without complaint, or after she had done all her homework.She told me that she would pay for it out of her allowance, signaling to me that this was important to her.She suggested that we look at pictures of kids online with streaks of dye in their hair, so that she could show me what it would look like. And the pictures all looked so reasonable - the kids we saw looked like good kids.When we were having a snack at a cafe across the street from our local salon, she persuaded me to stop in briefly, not to get a streak, but just to talk to the people there about what it would entail. I admit I was surprised at how easy, quick, and cheap it would be - and how common it is these days for kids to get streaks of dye in their hair.And finally, when I said that we could do a streak, but ONLY if it was with temporary dye and no bleaching - she immediately agreed. I also insisted that she wait another full week, so that she would be completely sure that this is what she wanted.The next weekend, I took her to get two streaks of red dye in her hair.
My mom won't let me cut my hair?
Hello, I am a 15 year old female, and I always had long hair. Right now, my hair is about 3in past my bum. I am so tired of having long hair, people always comment on my hair and want to touch it. My hair is also wavy so it takes me about 30 min each morning just to do my hair. I really want to cut it, by my mom says no. Any tips on how to convince my mom to let me cut my hair? And if she does, how short should I cut it?
My mom won't let me decide my own hairstyles?
I am 17 years old and I am about to be 18 very soon. My mom always has to decide what hairstyle I should wear. She won't let me wear straight long hair. She always wants to me to have short or curly hair. I feel like she only wants me to wear the hairstyles that she likes, not what I like. I find it very ridiculousness because I am almost 18. The hairstyles she wants me to wear makes me look very young. I look like a 14 or 15 year old. People see me as a young girl, and I don't like looking so young. I keep telling her what type hairstyles I like or want but she keeps fighting with me. I have tried to constantly talk to my mom about letting me decide my own hairstyles but she never wants to listen. Sometimes I hate going out because I hate my hair.
I cut my hair into a pixie cut and my mom doesn't know and I'm 13. I think she'll be angry. What do I do?
Original question: “I’m almost 13 and my mom won’t let me cut my hair. What do I do? “Simple. Don’t cut your hair. Not yet.When you do get your hair cut, you want it to be a collaboration between you and your mom. You don’t want her to see your hair as an act of rebellion.So ask yourself why you want to get it cut. What style do you want? What does your mom object to about the style?Or, it might not be about the hair at all. Your mom might be upset with you about something else. Have you made her feel appreciated? Have you been helping out? Or does she see you constantly demanding, with the hair being the last demand that taxed her patience?It might well be that talking to your mom can make a big difference in her attitude. Make her feel appreciated and bring her into your decision making. Ask her what styles she likes. You might find something both of you can live with.And don’t be in too much of a hurry. Having a happy mom is worth a lot.Edit 1: the question was merged or changed so that what was a refusal of permission now becomes a deed done and consequences awaiting.Oops.So you did it. You do understand that this whole thing isn’t about your hair, but about respecting your mom, don’t you? And yes, she is going to be angry, not because you have a bad haircut, but because you didn’t consult her or have her permission to do this.You feel like an adult. You have a bright, inquisitive mind and can make decisions on your own. And yet …You aren’t an adult yet. Your mom is responsible for you. And in a way, it is your job to make that responsibility easier for her.So even if you like the haircut, you should not only be sorry you did it, but be sorry for not respecting her enough to obey her and understand her perspectives.We earn the right to make personal decisions. In every situation—a job, with family, with friends, with other responsibilities—we have to consider others every bit as much as we think about ourselves, and even more at times! Your mom makes personal decisions about herself with what those mean for you.So when you apologize, and you should!, emphasize that you are sorry you didn’t respect her as you should have, because that is the root of the issue. If she punishes you, accept it. Don’t tell her it isn’t fair.You can’t undo what was done, but you can do better in the future. Good luck.
