My daughter was begging me almost everyday to let her hair cut and have hair bangs. I say "No" because I want her to have her hair long. I know it's not my hair but hey I'm the Mother I know what will look good to her. Earlier after we had our lunch I took a nap. And when I woke I saw my daughter smiling with her new hair style. I was so angry because I don't like it! I asked her where she gets the money and told me that her dad took her to the salon. I confronted her dad he simply answered me with "she asked me if I can take her to the salon and so I did". I'm like WHAT THE HELL!!

She did that probably because that is the "IT" thing in fashion. You couldn't blame your daughter, she's growing up and making decisions for herself is just part of it. On the other hand though, she shouldn't have sneaked on you like that. Talk to her and tell her you were disappointed for what she has done. Well, had I had a daughter, I would also love to have her hair long! :)

@watchamacallitz I talked to her and let her promise that she'll make sure that she'll keep her hair clean and comb it regularly. I told her that I was not happy with what she did. She like clothes and shoes. She maybe saw the hairstyle from Tv personality. My Baby Girl is no longer a Baby. I kinda feel sad. :( @Leomzme I did let her know my reasons why I don't like her to cut her hair. I only just got angry when she did things behind my back. Honestly, I'm starting to like her new hairstyle.

Sorry to hear that your daughter outsmarted her dad. but anyway, it won't take long and her hair will grow again. I only have one daughter and two sons and having a daughter with a long hair is really great. I like to do her hair and you may not believe it- her hair is very long...down to her knees

Why you want her to have the long hair? Your daughter has a right to make a choice or decision about her hair style that she wants. The more you stop her the more that she won't obey what you want. There is nothing wrong about her decision. It doesn't mean that there is this saying that mother's knows best then you will dictate what you want for your daughter. If you always do that then there will be a point that she will become rebellious.

yes you're right! I know that she the have right to make decisions for herself. Please don't get me wrong, I let her decide and listen to what she wants too. My daughter is turning 8 and I let her have that hairstyle once, so I know that it's not good for her yet. She's still lazy to comb and it irritates her eyes when she have bangs. She's so active and all of hair are on her face. I like her hair long so we can pull it back nice and clean. I explained it to her and she didn't listen.

It wasn't very nice of your daughter to go behind your back like that. You need to sit your daughter down and explain to her why you said no to her having bangs in the first place. Then you need to let her know how hurt you feel by her betrayal. Once things have been discussed don't bring it up again. Remember hair grows so it will soon grow out.

I did talk to her. I let her know the reasons why I don't like her to get a haircut. I was so angry when I found out that she didn't listen to me and she's only turning 8 what more if she's 16? I was also angry to her dad because he knows that I didn't agree to my daughter's request. He is spoiling our kids and we always argue about it.

The most important thing is that your daughter feels happy and confident with her new hair cut, it would be a lot worse if she had kept her old hair style and felt uncomfortable with it because that would just affect her daily life and how she feels about herself.
