when I was in 7th grade I wanted to cut my hair (always had waist length, strawberry blonde hair that my mother adored) and I didn't even want it super short or anything, I just wanted it to be about shoulder length so it was more manageable (especially during the heat of the summer) and she screamed at me that i would be "ugly" without my hair, that it was the best thing about me. when I persisted that I desperately wanted a haircut, she grabbed my hair in a rage and chopped it off with the kitchen scissors and said "there's your f*cking haircut!" and some parts were so short I had to literally shave my head after that. cut forward to high school and bc of reasons that should be obvious at this point I'm living with my dad who has ALWAYS embraced me doing whatever I want and what makes me happy. I had probably 200 different hairstyles/colors through high school and it was great to get to express myself. shout out to all the parents that embrace their kids individuality. y'all are the best 🎉

the most terrifying thing for some mothers is when their daughters starts to develop their own personalities and the mothers can no longer pretend their daughter are a mini version of them

I had hair down to my butt when I was 4 years old. I then asked my mother for a bob cut and that's what she did. She asked me if I was sure that that's what I wanted but she let me. She braided my hair in a simple tight braid and then cut it at the right length. I looked pretty cute 🥰

I don’t think the mom is mad that she wants to change I think it’s more that she’s remembering when she was younger. Like oh my girl is growing up!

I think this is the best part of being a Mum - getting to watch them find their own identity. ❤

Short hair is so empowering cause it annoys other people so much for some reason. I get so many unsolicited comments that i look better when i had long hair, even though i mostly kept my hair up. Hair grows back.

Each new age is a new person, and it’s tough because you’re constantly excited for the future and mourning the versions of that kid that you’ve lost.❤

Oh no it’s not just a haircut. You are coming into your own life and bring your true self and that, that is a moms great goal and fear for their child! You’re doing great Jess!!! Congratulations!!

Parents should always respect their children choices. I remember that when I was twelve I jokingly asked my mom if I could dye my hair pink and she told me "sure" and I was so happy. She took me to the hair salon to do it and even learned how to dye it at home so she could do it for me after.

She's crying because she's watching her sweet little baby turn into a smart beautiful young woman and feels times going to fast

This is so sweet. I absolutely love how supportive the mom is in this video🤍

My mom literally SOBBED when I got my hair chopped in February. For 10 years I’ve kept it around waist length, and decided to cut it SHORT, because I felt it fit me better. I’m glad she’s expressing herself, and that her mom is letting her

My mom LOVES my hair. I didn’t get a hair cut until I was 3 years old and it was down to my butt. I donated 12 inches of hair to Locks of Love and was flying around the hair salon all excitedly while she cried in her chair (she was donating 8 inches to Locks of Love at the same time). She never said anything to make me feel bad, she was just mourning her little girl being a little less little. A bit more independent and true to myself. Even if she didn’t like it/thought my natural hair was more beautiful she never stopped me from cutting it, dyeing it, or styling it however I wanted. Even went as far as to help me so I didn’t fry my hair off trying to bleach and dye it by myself. Even if she was sad every time, even if every hair color choice was another step closer to me being an adult making my own decisions instead of a kid playing with her hair in the bathroom mirror. My mom and I had many other problems but I’m forever greatful that in this way she never put me down about it, never made me feel like my hair wasn’t my own to decide what to do with, always let me explore and try new things as I discovered my likes and dislikes, and always encouraged me to be confident in the new look I was rocking. I was never told I was ugly, or wrong, or that people would respect me less or anything like that. It’s so important to let your kid explore with their hair while they’re still kids and finding themselves. It’s okay to be sad your baby isn’t a baby anymore as long as you celebrate with them too.

A family friend of mine doesn’t let her daughter get a hair cut AT ALL, her hair is down to her knees and she’s told me that she’s wanted to cut it above her shoulders. It’s so important for parents to let their kids express themselves and I think more parents need to

Reminds me of when my grandpa took 10 year old me to the cheapest barber in town and got horrible bangs cut. My mum couldn’t stop crying

She took “hair holds memories” to a whole different level ..❤

It’s not about whether the hair is long or short, it’s about being fully in control of your body. My mother got my hair cut into a bob when I was in middle school and I didn’t speak to her for a week because I loved my long hair.

[lunaparrrk]

sorry for my english this is not my first language. my mom always told me, "this is my hair. because I've been working on them. you have no right to cut them off." as if my body doesn't belong to me. like I'm a thing, like I'm her property. at the age of 18, I came home with a square haircut. I've never been happier about my appearance than I was that day. now I have long hair, but this is completely my decision, and now, after years of psychotherapy after my mother's bullying, I can freely treat my body the way I want.

It’s not just a hair cut it’s a new stage for mom and hair holds memories 😢❤
