Is my mom getting too strict about my hair (simple opinion question)?
My mom typically isn’t strict, but when I comes to looks, she is. I’m still not aloud to wear eye makeup of any kind, even though I’m almost 15 (that doesn’t stop me from wearing it at school though).
Since I’m a teenager, I naturally want to experiment with my hair, especially since I’m into more alternative styles. My mom is extremely strict about my hair. I bought red hair extensions from Hot Topic and she told me she didn’t like them and I wasn’t aloud to wear them. I think that’s unfair because I bought them and its hair on my head so I should be able to. I never talked to her about what I thought about that because it wasn’t that big of a deal.
For Christmas, I got a hair straightener, something I’ve wanted for a long time. My naturally curly hair can look good, but it normally doesn’t after its been brushed. Since I take showers in the morning before school, I rush around a lot as it dries and it ends up frizzy and out of control. I hate it. So, I’ve been straightening it. I get a lot of compliments in school over it, which means it really does look good because I’m a misfit in school and people normally don’t talk to me. My mom said I looked ugly with straight hair. I think this is bullsh*t. Then she made me wet it to make it curly. This really p*ssed me off because I spent an hour making sure it looked good straightened. She told me I could only straighten it sometimes.
I want to dye my hair in the future, which I know won’t happen unless I do something about how she controls my hair. How do I tell her she’s being too strict without getting her angry?
I’m sorry, my grammar and spellingis completely terrible, but I’m a wonderful student. I’m in all honor classes and get all A’s and B’s. Actually, this year was the first year I’ve ever gotten a B.
Also, I don’t want to go that crazy with my hair, and I only want to dye it natrual colors.
Oops, I mean natural.
Boo hoo get a hair counselor. If you are not 18 you have no rights. Move out and get a JOB.

As a mother myself, I think that you should not use these "alternative" styles. God doesn’t want us walking around looking like porcupines. I am on your mom’s side.

To answer the first question, yes, I think your mom is too strict about your hair…at the very least she should let you straighten it…that’s just ridiculous. I’m not sure how to tell her that though. Maybe you should just say exactly what you said, it’s your hair on your head so you should be able to. That’s about the best you can do. Sorry :/

yeah that’s too strict i mean you couldnt straighten it? i understand dying it rainbow but straighten it?

Why would you want red highlights in your hair?! Take your mom’s advice and maybe you won’t be a misfit at school.. (except the straight hair: I feel your pain).
DURRHHHHH! | Jan 10, 2010
My mom lets me dye my hair like i got a bright blue streak dyed in my hair (ima blonde) then i got red tips on my hair later. my mom said its better than getting a piercing like on ur eyebrow or bellybutton and its just hair itll grow back

I wouldn’t aprove of anything from hot topic. Ithink the makeup and hairthing is stupid, but don’t dye it.
mdownwit opp | Jan 10, 2010
just ask her why she wont let you do things with it. Maybe there is a reason that she isnt telling you

Your still a child, only because your a "teenager" doesn’t mean you are an adult yet.
Its her house, her child. You probably do look better with curly hair, just a little bit of makeup (because you are young, you don’t need that much) and please, take out the red hair nonsense! People don’t want to see others walking around with red hair and "unusual hair", do they?!
You sure those at school arn’t laughing at you?!

I think you’re right. That is complete bullsh*t! Tell her to back off and that you’re not five anymore. Tell her that you will always obey her and take her advice but you get to control what you wear or do with your hair!

My mom is the same way and i have natuarlly curly hair. I take showers in the morning also but i found shampoo that keeps it from getting frizzy. I think you should just say that you want to express yourself and feel good and pretty. Your mom will NEVER fully give in but she will probally cave a little. Start small and straighten it every other day and slowly wear more and more eye make-up. Start with mascara and then work your way up. Slowly but surely you will get to the point where she won’t even nitice. BUT TAKE IT SLOW AND LAY LOW! And in 3 years you’ll be legal!Good luck!

Odviously looks are very important to her.
I think you should be able to do what you want to do (within reason).
Have you tried talking to her before? Telling her you think you look good with your straight hair? Maybe go as far as telling her that ppl at school are complimenting you, & that its doing good for your self confidence. A teens self confidence is very important.
I hope you find a way to talk to her. Maybe dying your hair anytime soon may be a bit much for her to accept. But maybe she will agree to you straightening.
Be nice, dont fight. Most mothers just want their children to be happy, & if she knows that the compliments you have been getting make you very happy…maybe she’ll lay off!
Good luck hon!!

as a mum and grandma i think maybe she is being a little over protective but hell! at least she cares.. you are pretty lucky..
i always let my lot do what ever they like with their hair cos i know at least you can cut it off, later if it is too bad, dye always grows out .. everything done to hair only lasts a while no matter how drastic it is on the day….it keps growing and changing….it is a pretty short while before things are back to normal… or at least they could be if you needed to have them so….
my kids got tattoo’s to be distinctive in their teens ..i actually cried then…. that was wayyyyyyy worse…they still have them now they are trying to be responsible parents… … but anyway we still love them no matter what…
try to bear with your mum… she loves you and really it isnt a lifetime until you are old enough to make your own choices independently..
Good Luck

no I dont think she’s too strict…she doesnt want you damaging your hair so young..you’re only 15 so if you start straightening your hair everyday forever it will start breaking and so on..also dying it is not a good idea since,as I already said, you’re too young to start damaging it…oh lets not even get into the whole alternative styles part.."alternative" hair is just ugly.
oh and btw it’s not ‘aloud’..it’s ALLOWED.
think more about leaning grammar and all that instead of your hair.

This is probably one of the few areas you Mom feels she has left where she can exert control over you. As any Adult who is being honest will admit, once kids get to be your age parents truly have absolutely no control over you. All we have is influence and the hope that you’ve learned the most important lessons of right and wrong that we have been teaching you as you’ve grown up. Witness you’re putting on your eye makeup once you get to school. Some kids aren’t even that careful they just do what they want and if their parents don’t like it they tell them where to go! What can a parent do. They can ground you, but then you sneak out. They can take stuff away, but you just use your friend’s stuff. So, my point is, let your Mom have her way in this little thing. In 3 years you will be 18 and you will be able to do anything you want without any flak from your parents. It’s not that long and you will be a young woman able to vote, join the military and die fighting for your country or get married – all without your parent’s consent or even their knowledge should you so choose. If you are a good kid, I it looks like you are, you could say to your Mom: "Mom, I’m a good kid. I go to school, stay out of trouble, and pretty much do as you ask. I’m going to be a woman able to make all my own decisions in just 3 years. Don’t you think I deserve to be able to decide how I wear my own hair? I promise to listen to your opinion and take it into consideration." See what happens. Can’t be any worse than it is now, right?

Bwhahaha u sound like me.. except I don’t wear makeup and I don’t have a mom that hates straight hair. I have freakishly curly hair but whenever I let it go natural, it goes frizzy,poofy and anything in between so my mom makes me brush it out(which makes it look worse).
Anyways, you could either tell your mom that your old enough and that it’s not her hair and that u can take care of it and it can be fixed blah blah blah. It’s just hair!!! That would be the good way and it won’t really make your parents pissed off.
Or if you wanna just straighten your hair and dye your hair in some funky/natural color and you don’t give a crap about what your parents think(like me), then you can just do that and tell your parents to get over with it. I dye my hair in different colors and my parents are don’t really care anymore. By the way im 15. But the best thing that you can do is to just wait while asking them politely if you can change your hair from time to time and maybe they’ll give in. 3 more years of high school and you will finally become an adult and you can do whatever you like(except alcohol)!!!
both those bands are awesome
