To be pissed of at people that make comments about sons hair

[ghostspirit]

People are really starting to pee me of with comments about my sons hair. person 1 when you getting his hair cut he looks like a girl. says it often-ish

person 2 omg get his hair cut. why do you make him have long hair. your really making him into someone hes not.

Me: i have had is hair cut....her:but a bob why would you do that.

i just feel like shes rude when her son has his hair cut i say its nice which it is. i think my son suits long hair and he does not have to have it shaved like many boys do. and theses things are said whilst hes there.

Long hair suits some boys but IMHO your ds suits the shorter style better.

I'm not really surprised that you get comments ghost as that looks like a very classic girl's haircut.

I don't think that there is anything wrong with boys having long hair - by ds usually has hair longer than his sister's, but I do think you should look at a more boyish style if you want to avoid comments. Otherwise you'll both need to accept that there will be comments and have some good stock things to say in response.

Very cute boy, if it was me, I would have a hairdressers cut a fringe in and some layers to soften the ends.

Dixie your ds is just too cute! His longish hair actually suits him.

I think his hair is lovely n he's gorgeous!

I love longer hair on boys n would have it on my sons if theirs grew long n straight or wavy n not outwards like Krusty the clown's .

I'd be looking to see if it could be tweaked a little bit to be more surfer dude perhaps - generally that just means messier!

I'd have thought the child in that picture was a girl, without question. It's not a typical long haired boy look; it's a definite girls hairstyle. It just is.

Yes. Dreaming's picture is unquestionably a boy.

he defo does not like it short. im going to put layers in it like few people suggested. im not keen on fringe idea though he or me are not worried/bothered by people who think hes a girl he just laughs. but i do think the cut is kind of boring so maybe the layers will also cheer it up a bit

dreamings thats a lovely cut i defo like that one. think so would as well

This is 12yo DS's hair, he's been told he looks like a girl on numerous occasions, and kids from school have tried teasing him about it. He couldn't give a rat's arse. it really needs a brush in this photo

LaChatte I'm jealous, he has better hair than me.

I personally do not like long hair on little boys. But that is just my opinion. Which I am of course entitled to. That said however I would never dream of passing any comment. I'm allowed to think what I like, but not say what I like

lighthouse i wonder if it is sometimes ok depending on the situation/how its said. i dont mind general comments or people saying they dont like it. but its more the tone and it being said infront of him. that pees me of. well from adults anyway. if something said by kids i think thats different and son has to deal with that if it comes up.

his hair looks great lachatte

Tomfun, I think I know your DS - either that or he has a twin!
Does his name start with G?

If your ds likes it, no issue. Who cares if traditionally it's a girls hair cut? I mean really, it's hair. He's a kid, he has his entire life to worry about the opinions of others over his appearance.

Sorry OP but that's an awful hairstyle. I'd be worried about bullying. Why put him at risk at all, for the sake of a haircut?

littlehe has never ever been bullied.

very true sarah i dont think hes that awear of things like that to be honest

Seriously he is a little cutie. A lovely boy but hair is dreadful. You really need to cut it. A friend of mine had a little boy with long blonde curls. He was mistaken for a girl so many times and she was quite rude with people getting it wrong. Anyway her son wanted his hair cut and they have never looked back. She said she can't believe she left it as long as she did. For your sons sake get it cut!!

Little. As I said I don't long hair on boys but it seems Ghost's little boy obviously does. So why should he or any child change. Bullies should be the one to change

The fact that you're having to post online about his haircut suggests there's a problem. Why give yourself a problem. Get rid of the awful bob and have done.

SpaceAdmiral your ds doesn't have long hair, I think people were telling you it needed cutting as its in his eyes.
Op I agree it would look much better with lots and lots of layer in, the straggly bob doesn't suit him.

If he likes it like that, then it's fine.

People are just strange - I can tell you from experience that you get the same brand of weird reactions if you have a dd with really short hair. My dd wanted a proper short haircut aged 5 or 6, and I literally couldn't find a hairdresser who would give her the cut she wanted. Short bob, yes, an Emma Watson pixie crop, no. In the end I did it myself, and once it was proper short, hairdressers were able to give her the right cut, because they assumed she was a boy.

And don't get me started on how many times bossy women told her she shouldn't be in the ladies toilets.

Seriously trying to get my head around this "boys style" "girls style" twaddle.

OP, his hair is lovely. Encourage him please to keep it as he likes it and to brush off any negative comments.
