Things We Want

(Edited)

As a child, I longed for long, flowing hair but mine was cut into a pixie cut. My hair is poker straight and stubborn about growing. For ease of care Mom cut my blonde hair short during grade school.

When I was fourteen I drew a picture of a haircut that I wanted. Mom took me to a barber who cut my hair. When I was shown a mirror to look at my cut I was appalled at who was looking back. The Barber had cut my hair over my ears! I cried on the drive home. I never let Mom take me to a barber again. After that haircut, I began to let my hair grow out. I didn't want to be mistaken for a boy again.

I'll never grow hair long enough for a long braid, but nor will I be mistaken for a boy, either. I chalked it up to living and learning.

Aghhj, when you expect to get your desired hair cut but the result is far from what your expect, I'll cry too if it's me. I always have a short hair and I just stop designing it. I have an ugly hair so what's the use, ugly, just gone the thickness of it from before 😭🥺

It is frustrating, for those who lived through it, we should always ask questions to get a balanced opinion, it is so easy to do, hopefully those who always wished to have beautiful hair will have it now.

I feel so bad for the young you. I always let my girls choose how they wanted their hair, one cut her own hair once, but later let it grow back.

I can't fault my mom, my hair wasn't easy to keep managed well and I was a tomboy. I think she just had to make sure it was able to look presentable for school etc.

I had two long braids down my back until I was 9 years old. According to my older sister, she was usually the one who was in charge of combing out my hair and fluffing it dry in front of the coal-burning stove; we had no hair dryers in those days. Then one day, she says, my mother ended up having to deal with my hair, and promptly cut my hair in a page-boy style with bangs! I don't recall getting my hair cut at a salon until 8th grade, when I ended up with a pixie cut. After that, I grew my hair out, and quite by accident had long hair again in the 70s when it was the fashion. But it was always very straight, and rather thin toward the ends.
