Hi my 19 month old ds has never had his hair cut at back, he has lovely curls at the ends dont want them to go. I know it's kinds old fashioned for boys to have long hair but I like it. Is there many out there that have ds's with long hair?

16 month old ds2 has never had his cut (apart from fringe - hate hair going in the eyes) and he's frequently referred to as 'she', which doesn't bother me in the slightest. I love his curls at the back and find brushing them after bathtime really satisfying...must be my substitute for not having a dd !

3.7 year old ds1 has always had traditional boys' 'crop' just because long hair never suited him.

I wish DS1 had long hair, but he has DH's baby-fine hair, nordic blond, and he looks alarmingly like blardy Boris Johnson if it gets even a smidge too long. Blah.

Yet to see with DS2, his is a bit less blond and possibly more of it, so I have hopes...

I caved and had my DS's (2)hair cut for the first time yesterday (it was getting ridiulous!). I have to admit that I am gutted as he looks so grown up. I couldn't even take him- he went with his Dad and I picked him up. I did stuff several handfuls of curls into my pockets as I left though

I also shed several quiet tears too

both my DS have long hair. It is regularly cut though, so is v tidy, but still longer than a lot of girls'

My DS of 21 months has beautiful long (well, longish) blonde wavy hair, and he looks very cute, even if I do say so myself! The 11 year old is also going through a phase of long hair. He has very thick straight hair which I thought would look awful, but it actually looks good. Add my thick shoulder length hair and DD hip length long hair we all look like the Hair Bear Bunch! I'm a big fan of boys with long hair - much better than short, spiky, highlighted do's

My slaphead DH is v v jealous of us all
