Son wants long hair

30 replies

My primary aged son currently has pretty short hair. He has asked to grow his hair long which I don't have an issue with in general but don't really know how to go about it without it looking a total mess in between and also whether school might have a problem with hair that is long enough to look messy but not long enough to tie back (we're in UK so uniform). Does anyone have a boy who has grown their hair out? How did it go?

Thank you.
I think it would be quite curly if longer which adds to my worries about it looking a mess in between...

Actually I suspect he would get fed up with it if he had to brush it and wash it more regularly so that's a good point, will mention that to him!

My sons hair was very curly when it was mid length, but the weight has dragged the curls out and it appears straight. He won’t let me try the curly girl method to bring his curls out! 🙄

My son has ridiculously long hair. He’s almost 14 and has been growing it since he was about 9. It does go through a messy stage but now it’s long he just ties it back. Never had any issues with school at all.

His hair is fantastic

That's great, my son has started to grow his out long, I'm in the hair band stage at the moment, give it a couple of months and he should be able to get a ponytail. In his four year old words I want it long to bounce on my bum 🤣🤣🤣

Obsessed with his hair! And it's in such good condition!

My 15yr old has hair down to his shoulder blades, it's divine 😍 he shaves up the back at the nape of the neck, but you'd only notice when he ties his hair up. He has super thick hair so shaving a bit keeps him cooler.
