How can I get my parents to let me cut my hair? I had a pixie cut about 2 years ago and I loved it. I was the most confident I had ever been. Now my parents have made me grow it out. Their reasoning is so that people won’t assume I’m a boy or gay.
I thank you for creating this question.I will tell you a somewhat similar story. I had boy cut since first grade till my eight grade. But I could not take it after that. I looked the same way in all my photo id cards, family photos and so on. There were years when many strangers assumed I was a boy.Since my 7th grade, I throwed tantrums. I boycotted going to Parlor, cried every time I went to a hair stylist. The hair stylist complained to my mother that he does not want to see me crying each time. Finally after two years, when I began with ninth grade, my mom told me, if you want to grow your hair, you should take care of it.Yes. This happened in 2006. Now it is 2017. I am working away from home. No one at home are bothered what I do to my hair now. You will also have the same freedom when time comes. Please talk to your parents repeatedly and do not give up.It is not just about your hair. It is about your confidence to stand up for what you feel is right and see whether you, know what you are doing. Frankly you have a long way to go and you will have to fight for many things. Start with this. You will smile thinking about this when you are in your 20s/30s and so on.This is how I looked in third grade with a boy cut. The one between that little kid and salwar clad lady is myself.This was in 10th grade after I fought to have my hair in my way.I have not let any hair stylist, touch my hair after 9th grade. I had it trimmed twice after that and recently once, last year.ALL THE BEST.
My friend's parents won't let her cut her hair ?
I'm not sure how old she or you are but if she is old enough maybe she should just get a haircut herself. Or just cut it herself. Her parents need to realise that what their daughter looks like is not up to them. Someone needs to tell them that what they are doing is putting strain on her life and it may sound over the top but her hair obviously is.
My parents won't let me cut my hair short?
I really want to cut my hair short but my parent said no. They also said that if I did I would look like a boy. I made a list of over 40 reasons about why I should be able to cut my hair and try won t even look at 1 reason. My hair is currently more than halfway down my back, and I do have to admit the haircut that I want is really short. Please help me! And please don t say that I should just cut it without their permission, I would be grounded until I move out. I m 14 btw
My parents won't let me have long hair...?
Im a hairdresser and it always broke my heart when parents would bring their boys in and make me cut off their long hair, Its in style and growing you're hair is defiantly not the WORST thing kids you're age are doing. I always cut the hair slowly to see what the longest style would be the parents would let me get away with giving the poor kid....Once I refused to do it and made them pick another stylist because the boy was like 16 years old (Def old enough to decide on something as trivial as a haircut on his own) and his hair was BEAUTIFUL and he was nearly in tears about having to cut it off and i refused to cut it LOL....Remind you're parents that there are worse things kids you're age do than not cutting their hair...especially if you are an otherwise good kid and maintain good grades....Bad infulences and poor parenting make kids a troublemaker, not a silly haircut body piercing or a wild outfit...
How do I convince my parents to let me cut my hair? I'm trans in the closet.
How do I convince my parents to let me cut my hair? I'm trans in the closet.On the issue of hair I would say, that although parents have a lot to say about their child’s behavior they do not own you. It’s understandable that parents would object to something that is bad behavior at home, that exposes the child to harm or danger, such as attending some parties, or staying out late, to a child neglecting their school work. They may have legitimate concern about their child wanting to tattoo something, because they know chances are a child may change their mind about the tattoo later and it’s hard to change. But hair is not one of those things. Even if they think it is silly for you to want to have boyish haircut, that it is some sort of passing whim that you will regret once you see how you look, it’s not irrecoverable, because hair grows back. My advice would be to cut it the way you want and then stand your ground. It’s a very difficult skill to learn. If your parents get angry and start yelling to keep yourself collected, you do not yell back or act out, do not become defensive. It is done. It was your decision, your head, you hair, it harmed NO ONE. You do not need to fight over it.There are some good answers to a similar questionHow can I convince my parents to let me get a boy cut?You also bring up the issue of being trans and in the closet. I can imagine being forced to wear long hair and girly clothes is painful, but coming out is scary or seems impossible. I don’t know your family, and certainly there are a lot of people stomping down on the issue, voicing opinions that if you were born with a penis, you are a boy and will become a man, otherwise you are a girl and will be woman, and sorry if you do not like it, but that’s how it is. May as well tell them you feel you are really a dolphin, right?Truth is some parents are not as bad as their kids think. There are so many stories on the internet ow parents who had been poo-poohing the trans ‘fad’ came around when their child came out and they understood that this is real. They became champions and supporters of their kid and that is an amazing thing, can you envision how great that would be?It may be worth knowing whether yours could become your allies or not. Currently you are assuming they are not, so coming out would not really make it any worse, would it?
My mom wont let me cut my hair.?
Okay, I know you are living under her roof, and her rules go, but that is absolutely ridiculous. You should be allowed to get your hair cut whatever way you want (unless you want something extreme like a mohawk or something, I can understand why a parent would say no to that, and it makes sense that they would), especially since your hair is causing you physical pain. I'm sorry, but that upsets me greatly that your mother won't even let your hair cut to a length that is still considered long, simply because she thinks you'll look 'ugly' even though it's causing you pain and you think it will look good. It's not like you want it boy short or anything. I say just cut your hair. Try and go to the hairdressers if you can and get your haircut by yourself (don't worry, you can get your haircut by yourself at any age), but if you can't, just get some scissors and cut your hair by yourself. Sorry to sound rude, but your mother sounds very vain, so I assume after your haircut she'll be angry, but she'll also take you to the hairdresser to get your fixed up from whatever unevenness it has. You can't be blamed for cutting your hair if it is causing you pain and has become impossible to manage - it is your hair after all. I remember I had been cutting my hair into a pixie cut (boy short) since I was 11, and it looked really nice, I always got lots of compliments, but when I was 13, about to be 14, my mother decided I looked ugly (she was a very vain and controlling woman), and made me grow my hair out. By the time I was nearly 16, my hair was past my chest and hard to manage. It was never brushed and looked hideous, and I got made fun of for it, and my mother was constantly yelling at me and sending me to my room because of my messy hair, but she still wouldn't let me cut it. One day (I think I was still 15 and not quite 16 yet), I bought some clippers and just shaved my hair the shortest I could. Everyone (besides my mother) liked it, and I was happy, and I still have that haircut today, even at 28, so I say just do.You'll be happier in the long run, trust me - don't listen to your mother on this one. And I'm sure you'd look absolutely lovely with hair that length.
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 cut my hair?
My mom won't let me cut my hair! What I want is some bangs and shorter hair. My mom makes me grow my hair out, the once it's to the middle of my back to my bum, my mom lets me chop it off and send it to lots of love. My hair is almost to the middle of my back. I have gave her a letter saying, I don't like my long hair because 1. It's hard to handle. 2. Takes for-ever to dry. 3. Uses lot's of shampoo and conditioner and lots more reasons. I also told her the reasons I want short hair. She said no. I showed her a picture of a celbrities hair style I want. She said no. She is humilating me on Facebook! She scanned the letter and posted it on there! I asked her why I couldn't have them, all she said was: If you ask one more time, you won't be getting feather extentions. Then I said please. Her response: I will shave your head if you don't stop asking. I really want something different! And I am not the kind of kid who would cut my hair by myself. My dad doesn't care how I get my hair done. We just have to get through my mom. Please Help!
