Has your child ever cut their own hair off?!

My son gave himself a really bad haircut. I just kind of rolled my eyes and tried to fix it as much as possible. Two days ago my older daughter cut some hair off both sides in the front because it was sticky and I said to her, "If it was sticky you could have just washed it." "Oh", she says, "didn't think of that." Now I have to take her in and get her bangs trimmed (or fix it myself). Aarghhh.... It was a very nice haircut too!

When My youngest daughter was 2 her 4 year old sister decided that she needed a hair cut. This was one of those times when everything get real quiet so Mom better go see what is going on. There they sat hair all over the floor and my baby almost bald on one side. So in order to make her look decent I had to even up the sides. Then everyone kept saying what a cute little boy. This child is over 40 now and would love to have long hair but it keeps breaking off and looks like bed head if she doesn't keep it short.

I was devastated when my Daughter at the age of 4 decided to cut her long lovely Curls of and I mean she cut it right to the end apart from one long strand lol I had to get her to the Hair Dresser to try and clean it up and it took ages to grow back when it did the curly Locks never came back I cried when she did it lol

My children have never cut their own hair, but reading this discussion did bring back a memory from my own childhood. When I was younger a friend asked me to cut his hair. Seems he got some gum in it and rather than let his mom find out he thought he could cut it and hide the gum from her. Needless to say that was a mistake. I did cut it for him and the resulting effect was much worse than any gum would have ever been. That was over 35 years ago and our parents still laugh at us for that. We were 6...LOL

I can actually speak as someone who as a little kid cut some of my hair. I can't remember why now(probably boredom), because I was pretty young when it happened. I do know that I had really long hair back then, and my mom always wanted me to get it cut because she didn't like having to wash so much hair, but my dad wouldn't let her get it cut. LOL Anyway, so I don't know how much I cut, but I know my mom told me if I ever did it again she'd make me get it cut short like a boy's hair. And that definitely was something I didn't want at all! Me, I don't have any kids, but I would be upset because I like long hair, so while I wouldn't go postal or yell at them if they cut their hair I would be pretty upset, and depending on how bad it was I would take them to get it fixed so it could at least grow back out.

Neither of my children have ever cut their own hair thank goodness. I remember when I was about 12 the boy that I was baby sitting went to the bathroom to go potty and when he came out a minute or so later he had a pair of scissors in his hand and he was missing some hair up front.

My child was 2 years old when she cut her hair. She cut the right part of her hair just above her ear showing off her ear, while the left side covers her ear. Out of curiosity i guess. My husband just cut the other half to balance her look. It's just a good thing that she did not hurt or cut herself.

I think kids will be kids. I think it is funny. My boys did this and I had to shave their heads because it was unfix-able. They said they felt ugly after I shaved it and never touch the scissors again.
