9yo obsessed with the mirror!!!

She's driving me nuts with her obsession about how she looks, her hair mainly. I knew this would come but at 9?! She's just finished year 4, though is well into puberty. How can I curb the arguments we're having about her mirror time?

There's no shortage of mirrors, it's the fact that she's so concerned about how she looks that concerns me for such a young girl. I've told her repeatedly how it dorsnt matter if her hair/clothes aren't - in her eyes - perfect but it falls on deaf ears.
