why is my mom so restrictive?

my daughters straighten their hair too much but it makes them happy and thats what matters.the only way you can deal with is ask your mum if you can have another pair and just straighten your hair at the weekend or special occasions. during the week tie it up if it annoys you. see what she says.

Straightening your hair can destroy it, I hate to admit--just like curling it can. Ask your mom for a valid explanation; you being bold by 30 doesn't really answer the question of why she did it. Did you buying the straightener defy your mother's rules perhaps?

Mothers try to keep their children from doing things which could hurt them. Possibly, she sees this as something that will draw attention to you. Believe me, mothers may not always know what is best but they do have your best interest at heart. This may not be true of all mothers but it is for the majority of them. Try listening to your mother because she is more intersted in the good for you than the bad. Just listen and be patient.

I have a sister that has been using a hair straightener for some time now. Our mother has seen her but only told her not to do it anymore because she will lose her hair, but no actions were taken. Now her hair just looks kind of weak, it's just so disproportionate. I mean that thing heats up your hair, it even smells bad after you do it :))

How about talking to your mom? She probably has some good explanation for telling you not to use hair chemicals and for throwing your stuff away! Did you ever ask your mom why she does not want you to use hair chemicals? By the way, for the meantime, you could try pressing your hair. Pressing has a nice effect and free of damaging chemicals.

You see, the hair straightener damage you hair in time. I think that's why she reacted like that.

Usually mothers get upset when they start to notice men looking at their daughters sexually. It frightens them and makes them realize how fast they are growing up and that someday they will leave home to be with a man. In an effort to forestall that day some mothers try to keep their daughters looking and acting like little girls as long as possible.

I really cant put a finger as to why she did it. But maybe you did something to upset her or did something that she didnt like so she threw out the straightener, so that you would stop doing the thing that she hated. I know its very general but its the best theory I can come up with. Hope I helped.

I know that when I was starting to get closer to the time where I would "leave the nest", but I was still young enough to still be under my mother's house and rules, she started acting out over nothing. I think that it is just a mother's way of still trying to feel like they have some control in your life. My mom wasn't trying to be mean or vindictive, but she is a person who needs to feel like she has control. In many ways I have had to mother her because she doesn't know what to do with herself if she isn't in charge of something sometimes. I think they just want to feel like they are still are part of your life, even though they go about it in a way that doesn't make much sense. Thats just my 2 cents:)

What is your age.. If you're a dependent. then it's better to listen to your parents as they know best. They've been through the phase of life you're going through. Try to talk to your mom. Ask her why your straight hair bothers you.. tell them why your curly bothers you. Be open with your parents and maintain a good relationship with them. It'll be wonderful. I can say from experience because I'm very open with my mom and hence, she understands me more than anybody.
