The tales of hair are long {hardy har} and many.
Let’s talk about one of my girls and her hair shall we?
She wants her hair black.
No.freaking.way.
When she is a little older…maybe. But why ruin such pretty hair this young?!?!
She wants purple.
I.don’t.think.so.
I like purple. I really do. I just…don’t know if it belongs on a girl her age.
So…
I have let her have blue streaks.
With gel. That washes out the same day it’s used.
I’m cool like that right?!?!
I let her have her own feelings of expression with her hair but…I set some limits.
That’s a parent’s job.
I also wouldn’t let her get a tattoo. She has to wait until she is old enough to sign the form consenting to it.
I do let her have the washable tattoos. I can consent to that because…it’s not permanent.
So…now that I’ve veered completely off topic…back to the hair.
I said no the black. I said no to the purple.
I said highlights would be cool.
She agreed.
So of course I took pictures.
Which kid was it?
And how does it look being a home-hair-highlighting event?
Really good.
A dark blond {naturally} with {really} light blonde highlights.
Simple enough for me to agree to. Different enough for her to be cool with it.
Being a Mom is about compromise.
Ask any Mom if this is true.
Or any kid that has slightly different hair.
Great compromise! Love her hair! And I agree....black or purple is too much for this age!
ReplyDeleteTell her it looks great! Good job momma!!
