doesn't seem to be a very "shocking" thing to ask... most people do this often as a regular thing.
not my daughter!
usually things go a bit like this:
Mom: i think we need to go get a trim
T: NO....i'm NOT cutting my hair SHORT!
Mom: i didn't say CUT it SHORT...i said it needs a TRIM
T: NO!
Mom: you have to at least trim the ends to keep it healthy looking
T: (hanging her head and mumbling) i know... i know
literally... fighting it every step of the way...just for a TRIM!
so i was utterly and completely shocked when she randomly came to me asking to chop all her hair off. hair that she has been adamant about NOT cutting for years!! there was no friend who had recently cut their hair, no celebrity with short hair, no boy to try and impress (thank god!)...i was digging for anything to find out WHY!
her reply: i just want short hair... i feel like a change!
change is good. :)
and she LOVES her hair! (i admit, i feared her leaving the hair salon with tears... i know how much i adored and loved my own long, long hair growing up....)
she was giddy...the biggest smile i've seen on her face...
and so here is a before
