S/O Would you let your DD cut her hair off?
If your dd wanted a pixie cut would you let her chop it all off?
I would have a hard time allowing my dds to cut their hair off. Im a girly girl and like to do pig tails and pony tails, braids etc for their hair. If there wasnt any I would cry.
Im sure I would in the end allow them to have it how ever they want it since it is their hair but I sure would try to talk them out of it. 
I do think short hair on girls can be cute. I will just miss getting to play with it.

Re: S/O Would you let your DD cut her hair off?
Yup. As I said in the previous post, hair battles are not the ones I want to fight.
Of course, I also had a pixie cut as a kid, and as an adult I had SUPER short hair for years. I still get the urge to chop it like that again.

Yes, if that's what she wanted.
I'm very open-minded as far as hair goes. My mom made me keep my hair long through middle school- like down to my butt long. It was awful. I was teased unmercifully. I wanted so badly to cut my hair and get a perm, but my mom flat out refused. I went out with friends one day to the local mall right before I started 9th grade and got my hair totally chopped off. My mom cried.
If she really wanted to get it cut, yes, I would let her.
But first I'd try everything I could to beg, plead and coerce her into keeping it long, LOL. And if that failed I'd probably cry when it came time for the cut.
A big.fat.negative here.
I know that sounds horrible, but I just can't allow it; at least while she's little. I begged my mother to let me cut my waist length hair when I was five. She caved and I HATED it. Seriously, it was traumatic.
I don't want my DD to experience hair remorse at such a young age. LOL
Their hair is not mine, it's not on my head, and it grows back. Yep.
Ditto for DS if he wanted his long.
I can't see having much emotional attachment to my dd's hair. I would like it to look nice, but if they want to try a new style/cut, I think it is important for them to express themselves that way as well as learn any lessons that may come up. Of course, I have the say that at this age I have the majority of say and control much like I do with their clothes, but when they get to be old enough to have an opinion, I will listen and help them the best I know how.
