How can I convince my parents to let me cut my hair?

Remind them, that long hair can always be cut, so it’s not like you’re trying to make a permanent change. Use your long hair as a bargaining method. For example, tell your parents that you will cut your hair if your behavior worsens or you become irresponsible.

How do I talk to my parents about a new hairstyle?

Look up different hairstyles and cuts. Before you talk to your parents, it’s best to have an idea in mind. Look through magazines, books, and style websites to find ideas. Do your research on what styles look good for your hair and face type so you can explain to your parents why the hairstyle you want is a good idea.

What are your parents’ expectations of your haircut?

Your parents may have rigid expectations about haircuts that appropriate for your gender. For example, your parents may not be okay with boys having long hair or girls having short hair. Your parents may also be concerned that you are too young to get a “grown up” hair cut and may not be ready to give up control of your appearance.

How do you explain having long hair to parents?

Explain the importance of individuality. As early as the 18th century, people started seeing their hair as a form of self-expression. Explain to your parents that having long hair shows that you are not influenced by others, shows that you’re confident enough to make important decisions, and explain that it would simply make you happier.
