Daughter wants to buzz her hair

[Charlotteshin]

My daughter keeps asking to let me buzz her hair. She wants to follow the celebrities that have done it recently and thinks it’s edgy. AIBU go say no?

How old is she?

Why? It’s her hair, kids have so little autonomy I am all for letting them have control over their own bodies.

It grows back you know.

Why don't posters give the age of the their child...I have no idea if your DC is 4 or 40

Yeah they are also know for making really bad choices which they regret

My 16 year old did this.
I didn't let her go total buzz - she had a old-fashioned short back and sides.
The novelty wore off after about a week and she's now growing it back.
Hair grows back.

She is nearly 18 and has long curly hair.

If it's not against school rules then I don't see a problem. Hair grows back easily enough.

It’s HAIR. She’s not proposing chopping off her head.

Leave her to it then

It's hair
It grows back if she hates it
It's not like a tattoo or plastic surgery that is harder to change if she hates it

Don't control something so petty

How old is she and is it allowed at her school? If she's at secondary I'd say you shouldn't stop her. If she's only 5 or something I probably would

She's almost an adult, you don't really have any right to stop her

How old? If you go short short and she hasn't otherwise developed she'll just be called a boy until it grows a bit, not a reason not to do it but something to be aware of.

DD had a 3 all over at the start of the summer holidays one year and it's was long enough to style into a pixie cut by the end.

Now she has an undercut with the top bit roughly bottom of ear length, she doesn't like the sensory feeling of hair on her neck. On occasion she looks a little animaniacs/ 90s boy band but she likes it and it's a good compromise.

Edit: Nearly 18 why do you still have a say over her hair???? Unless it's just because you are physically doing it. I would recommend she goes to a stylist so if she hates it she can't blame you but other than that she should crack on, it'll grow.

X posted. Leave her to it. She might not even go through with it, or she might and she might look amazing! Some people really suit it

Well at that age you can't really stop her .

She doesn't need your permission, she's 18 years old, she can get rat arse drunk, have tattoos over her whole body, pierce every possible location, you have no say over it.

You can offer advice, provide guidance, give suggestions, but she can do what she wants to her hair.

She's nearly 18?

🤣🤣🤣

She'll just do it anyway. And in a few months she'll be an adult and you can't say shit anyway

I’m surprised she’s asking you….she’s all grown now and can do her own thing when it’s comes to her hair

I did mine in lockdown. Still have it.

Eldest daughter did it about 7 years ago. Looked amazing kept it for a while then grew it out.

Another daughter did hers at about 15. She looked incredible then she decided she didn't want the same haircut as her mom 🤣🤣 so she grew it back.

It's hair. It grows back.

You really can't tell an 18-year-old what she can do with her hair. I wouldn't have even asked my mother at that age.

Well at 18 it isn’t really your choice now is it? Come on now. It’s her hair and barring weird acts of God/biology it will grow back.

she has just finished school and asked me to do it for her. I don’t even know where to start 🙈.

how old was DD when you did it?

I wouldn’t want my DD to do it (and to be politically correct also hate that cut on boys too!!) but frankly at 18 it’s her hair and her decision.

If she wants it she should go to a hairdressers/barbers - not get you to do it.
And SHE pays. Not you.

Don’t do it for her when you don’t know what you’re doing. If it goes wrong or she doesn’t like it, it will be your fault. She can get a friend to do it or go to the hairdresser.
