PFB Ds is 26mnths, until he was one he had 2 inches of white hair stood on end, he looked like a dandelion clock, that was cute, everyone loved it, now its long and floppy everyone has something to say!

family members saying hell need it tied up for nursery, thinking its funny to try plaiting it and so on.

A Complete stranger told me ill damage him making him look like a girl! Had another older lady say to her friend 'someone wanted a girl' I have a dd she is 10mnths, granted she is bald, but that has nothing to do with his hair!

Me and dp love his hair, and personally i dont think he looks girly.

Why does everyone think all boys need a short back and sides, am i alone on this one, are longer hair boys so rare?

this is ds with long hair is that really so unacceptable?

Until recently, my 4 year old boy had longer hair than his twin sister! We love him having longer hair and although on a couple of occasions, they have been referred to as "the girls", I'm not remotely bothered given that he is the tallest in his class and so clearly not a girl! Go for it - its cool

thanks for all the support, as you can see from recent photos it remains long!,

nappy i think you ds (whos gorgeous btw) may have about an inch longer than mine, very similar style and looks the same kind iyswim, j's is like silk to touch and rarely gets messy!

its stunning, dont cut it! x

Aw cutey-pie! (ahem)

I think longish hair on little boys is far preferable to the buzz-cut some parents seem to give their sons. As long as you let him get it cuts if/when he wants to it's fine.
