How To Cut Hair?

How do i get my mum let me cut my hair ?

  • Hii im having a real struggle trying to make my mum let me cut my hair. My hair is past waist length now and she still wont let me have it cut i know how i want it (just a little longer than shoulder length with lots of layers). When my mum was younger she had long hair then cut it and she said she always regretted it ! the point is that its my hair im 14 for gods sake i dont think she realizes it ! She says that the cut i want is scruffy and that she doesent want me to have it done. i feel that if she dosent let me have it cut im going to have to go behind her back and do it. i have an appointment for my hair this coming tuesday and she has said i can have it cut shorter but i am scared that she will do what she did last time where she promised i could have it cut shorter but when we got there she made the hairdresser only take off the split ends at the very tip of my hair! What should i do to convince her to let me have my hair cut ! i need advice quick !

    Tell her you would like to donate it to the charity that uses real donated hair to make wigs for children who have undergone cancer chemotherapy and lost their own hair. Tell her that they will take anything longer than about 10 inches and that hair of your length will be enough to make several cancer victim kids happy. That is much harder for your mother to object to.

Tell you mom that you realize that she regretted it, but you have given it a lot of thought and you know this is what you want. Let her know that if you end up regretting it or don't like it she won't hear a peep out of you regarding the matter. Finally remind her that it will grow back.

make up excuses of why your hair gets in the way. and tell her it wont be that much hair cut off, it can always grow back if you dont like it but you might have to slowly get it cut. like one time only get a few inches cut off. then the next time get a few more then the next time get a few more, so its gradual and not all at once. she probably wont freak out as much :)

When you go to your appointment you tell them how you want it. Its your hair not your mums. They shouldnt listen to your mum. You have the right to get your hair cut every 6-8 weeks to keep it healthy. If you dont get it how you want it, then make another appointment without her knowing. It doesnt sound nice but its your hair.

Tell her that the length of your hair is hard to wash and bothers you. Having long hair is not so healthy, you know. Tell her you are not Rapunzel.

You mum probably doesn't want you to have to it cut, because she went through the same thing and when she had hers cut she regrets it and wants it back, and theres only you she knows who has got long hair, so shes just being selfish really. Just tell her straight that it's your hair and you really want it cut, say its bothering you now, say you liked it when you was littler but now your older its annoying you. If she still doesn't let you, just go behind her back and do it, she can't do anything once its gone. Yeah, sure she'll be mad for a little while but she cant hate you all your life for having your hair cut! Good luck. (: x.

My cousin had the same problem, every time she went to the hairdressers my aunt went psycho almost yelling at the poor lady ''Not too short! Not too short!!!''. So what my cousin did (it's bit extreme but it worked) is that she cut her own hair, almost 20 cm off! Of course since she was no hairdresser it was a pretty bad cut but this forced her mother to take her back to the hairdressers to style it like she wanted. Tadaaa! Anyway, some ppl would get killed for doing that so my advice would be either to show your mom that you're old enough to decide how you want your hair, sit her down and get through to her or either just take a bus to the hairdressers so you don't have your mom telling the ppl there what to do. You want independence? Earn it! :p Happy Holidays!

First things first, don't get mad. Just calmly explain to her that while she may have regretted cutting her hair when she was young, its a risk you are willing to take. Hair always grows back and if you don't like it, you can always grow it back out. Show her some pictures from the internet or from books of people with the hair style you want so she can see that its not "scruffy". If she still doesn't want you to cut it, you will have to explain to her that while she has had the freedom to grow out and cut her hair to see what she likes, she is denying you the same freedom and you would like the chance to see how your hair looks at a shorter length. Not being allowed to cut your hair may be something you will always regret and she will come to regret to as she will feel like she stifled her child. Good Luck and when at the hair dressers this tuesday, just be firm! You can speak for yourself and tell the hair dresser exactly what you want.

I was in the same situation why don't you have it cut so its half way down your back first and have some layers in it and then every 8 - 10 weeks go to the hair dressers and get it eventually to the length you want it that is how i did it and my mum eventually came round. either that or tell her how unhappy it is making you feel having your hair this long and she should agree. at the end of the day hair grows back!!
