lol, I will auctually encourage this uniqueness. Perhaps one day when I have kids I will randomly ask one if they want to dye their hair purple! Life is too short to care about giving other parents bad impressions of your child. I find it great and liberating.Originally Posted by crittermom
it starts out as hair, and then goes down hill from there.What else will the child think they need to get their way about?
And as far as parents not letting them get a certain hairstyle, that's because we are older and know what is appropriate/looks good and what isn't.
What are the limits? lol Haircuts arnt big deals....like I said, hair grows back....color washes out. Its nothing permanent and no harm is done.Originally Posted by crittermom
My 17 year old has actually died her hair purple.BUT, it is NOT permemant and washes out in about 10 washes.
I have 4 kids, each of them are about as individual as they come.I am all for them being their own person.BUT, there are limits to that.
Sanjaya Malakar didnt have a mohawk lol he had a ponyhawk. Which ruled btw.
Me, too. I love those hairstyles!Originally Posted by Moz
Well I actually like those hairstyles, big hair, Farrah Fawcett... the whole nine yards.
Ponyhawk, that's it! I hope I didn't offend you...I actually thought the ponyhawk was cute too. Definitely unforgettable! He's just the first person I have seen with that kind of hair style in 10 years. Of course, I live in West Virginia...not many mohawks around here. Most people are still stuck in the mullet phase.Originally Posted by Roimata

Those limits are based on what the parent wants them to be.
Thats silly to me lol......no peirced ears on boys? How sexist.Originally Posted by crittermom

I will NOT allow my children to permanently dye their hair a Godawful color,pierce their bodies,NO pierced ears on boys,no tats until they are 18.
My limits are well known by my kids.They know what they can and can't do.
As far as "it's only hair", yes it is.BUT, I wouldn't be caught out in public looking like that, nor would my kids.
If you can't go like that to Church, or to something formal, then you shouldn't have it in the first place.
I'll have to disagree with you there! IMO the worst hair on men is that little monk-like strip around the sides and back, and shiny bald on top. Or the pathetic attempts at implants on the top or the comb-over.Originally Posted by CarolPetunia
...But anything -- and I mean anything -- is better than headshaving. No offense intended to anyone, but... I really think men look better with at least some hair.
BIG HAIR days are over withOriginally Posted by white cat lover

I didn't ask you for your opinion did I?
I didn't want this to be a debate. I was just showing my son's new hair cutOriginally Posted by crittermom
I didn't ask you for your opinion did I?Sorry, but your opinion doesn't make one difference in how I raise my kids.
(As for being sexist, I live in the South.I am married to a true hillbilly.---need I say more?)
lol hmm how do punky and preppy go togetherOriginally Posted by white cat lover
I am far from big hair, I've got like 2-3" tops! It's punky, but preppy.I apparently licked my finger & stuck it in a socket one too many times according to lil sis!
OK. That was a bit off topic!
