To think they've made a mess of my DD's hair? Pics included

[MylittleDD]

DD (3.5) had lovely long dark hair which almost reached her bum, she loved it long as she said it made her feel pretty. She loves me styling it in different ways, fish tail plaits etc.

Her fringe was getting too long and the ends needed a trim so OH took her to the hairdressers this afternoon. I told him to make sure they don't take off any more than 2 inches.

This is what she came home like, see pictures attached.

DD is upset and is adamant she hates it dispite me trying to reassure her that she looks beautiful and that her hair will grow back longer and stronger.

I'm really upset about this, largely because DD is upset but ffs just look at it. It isn't even straight.

The workmanship of that haircut is awful and I'd not take them back there.

However the length is more sensible - I do wonder if parents consider the safety of children having 'bum length' hair. At a school I worked at, a girl sat down heavily on her hair and ripped a big chunk out - was quite disturbing to see the pain she endured and her clutching a fistful of hair 😢

Bum length hair looks ridiculous and is impractical. Looks much healthier and not at all straggly now. Once you get it leveled up it will look great. She is a child not a Disney princess.

Who would of knew so many people hated kids having long hair 😂

My kids don’t lack resilience at all. I have brought them up to be resilient. And I see nothing wrong with complimenting a child who has a talent that they work hard to nurture. I don’t routinely go around complimenting small children on their looks cos that just seems a bit weird.

In girls... they'd be eating that s%£t up if it was a boy 😏

How's everything gone today OP? Have you managed to get a refund and fix you DD's cut?

Yes the whole anti gender stereotype campaign has been pushed so far that it is now offensive if a little girl wants to look in anyway feminine or what people deem ‘stereotypically feminine’ ie long hair, dresses, sparkly shoes etc. 🙄

That’s a terrible cut. I’m so jealous of her hair though, it’s beautiful.

Thank you all for your kind comments about DD's hair (dodgy cut aside) I've shared some with her and it did make her smile

I think this comment is quite telling….

Is it all straightened out now?

Not sure if anyones mentioned, but you've made the sun!

FFS Sun article and absent OP... journalism clickbait as usual....

I don’t think a child here or there doing something makes it “developmentally normal”. Nature vs nurture. More likely nurture…
The majority of people find it odd that a 3 year old would care so much though.

Oh Jesus. It must have been a slow news day. I can't think why anybody outside of this thread would be interested in a three year olds hair.

So I went in and got a full refund. I haven't taken her to another hair dressers to fix it (don't think I dare after that) my DM evened it out for her at home and its 10 x better than it was.

DD has gotten over her disappointment and hasn't mentioned it again which is great. I'm sure it'll grow back quickly at which point I'll do my homework before sending her to any random hairdressers 😬

I just realised somebody thought I was a journalist and this was clickbait, nope. That very much is my DD. I have the pictures on my own social media too. Those who know us are quite amused that little old DD is in the news 😂

It’s hardly the most clickbaity topic, is it?
