Well do they?
Do you judge children's parents based on what they do to their kids hair?
Assuming that it's the parents choice rather than the child's when they're very young (

I judge the judgers, myself.

I would think they were fed up with nits [been there emoticon]. How I wish you could cut a 10 year old girl's hair with clippers!
My ds has had his hair v short, really quite long and tousled, and somewhere in between.
I hope no one has judged me or him because of that - and if they have, I really don't care

I judged my godson's mum when she clippered all his long curls and gave him a 'number 2' just because his dad was worried it was 'girly'. It was the best hair ever and I'm still 
and 
about the whole thing.
In general though, probably not. Although I'm always a bit when baby girls have more elastics and clips than hair

No offence intended ArtVandelay 
I just think it looks rather odd. The 'Business at the front, party at the back' look.

There is a boy with a genuine classic mullet in my DS's class at school and I admit it, I judge his parents. The same child also had a huge square diamond argos special cubic zirconia stud in each ear too, and his parents completely ignored every attempt by the school to get them to take them out. In the end someone and nobody seems to know who told him they were girly and he insisted on taking them out himself, but his hair would still shame Pat Sharpe poor little thing is only 6.
Both my school age DS, one 7 and one almost 5 have very short hair. I cut it myself with a no4 guard on the clippers. Keeps it neat, doesn't need brushing, minimises chances of nits and is free to do at home (after we bought the clippers).

No offence taken picnic - I'm not a local and my DS has 'girly' hair. But I'm really not overbearing at all 2rebecca - I just haven't really thought about it much and don't if he'd sit still at the hairdressers yet.
