How can I convince my mom to bring me to a salon for a haircut? Please take time to read the details.?

Question

I'm 13 and I have really, really long hair that reaches past my butt and its very flat. At school, lots of girls are sporting the "side swept bang" style, and I think it looks great on almost anyone. I love the style, and sometimes I get pretty jealous when my friends are in the bathroom, fixing their perfect, not-flat, shiny hair, don't judge me, I love my friends. My hair is so dry and flat and dull, the complete opposite of theirs.

Anyway, I have two problems : convincing my mom to bring me to the salon and let me have a haircut and doing something about my miserable hair. All I ask is a little trim and the bangs. My hair is getting so long that the little kids hide behind their moms, probably because I look like a white lady, if you don't know it, look it up, with my hair. And it's beginning to have a bad effect on my ice skating. It's so hard to spin because my hair gets in the way and when I jump, my hair flies all across my face, leaving blinded in the landing, or sometimes it sorta likes snags my arms and I can't stretch them out. It's worse when I braid it because my hair suddenly has more force and strength then me, and makes it kinda dangerous to spin, because I might hit somebody or it just has so much weight that it throws me off. No use putting it in a bun, the pins just get off and fly away. It takes too much time to fix my hair like in competitions, with hundreds of pins and tons of gel and hairspray. Ok, getting out of the topic.

Anyway, I need help in convincing my mom to let me have a little trim and the bangs. I tried to tell her two summers ago, but she just said sure, sure, honey, we will, next week. Gee, did she mean next week in the next century?? Don't say she forgot, I constantly pestered her about it. Even last summer, I did. But nothing ever happened. I want something to happen this year, but I need your help, people, on what to say. To really convince her, to make her do something. Please, please, please answer with sense and don't give me any crappy answers like "tell ur m0m bout iT duDe" Please, I really need your help.

I Hope I Helped! And BTW I Read Every Detail  :D

Answer 2

As for the getting rid of the length part. Well, I'd say if she won't take you to cut it. Put it in a ponytail and trim it to where you want it.

Answer 3

just let her read this question u asked.

maybe then she will understand.

=]]

Answer 4

Ok, I think I can help. As for the trim, tell her as much as you can on how it would help you in life. Either one of two things will happen..

1. She will understand and take you

or

2. She will get so annoyed that she will take you just to keep you quiet. lol

Im just going to warn you ahead about the bangs, if you get them too long, they will...

a. cause acne

b. get in your face when your skating

otherwise go for it!

Now, for the second problem, there are three things that you should invest in to help your hair. One is a curling iron. Just be careful not to burn yourself lol. Another thing is a volumizing product. I have benn using them and they give my hair soo much more volume!! Plus, they only cost a couple bucks! Finally, Avon has just released a new product to control split ends and dry ends. It is called the Dry Ends Serum. There is a link for it on the source list. Hope this helps!!

Answer 5

TALK to your mom. Tell her it is interferring with your skating.  

the split ends need to be cut.

give her some reasons why you dont want it that long. maybe she has her reasons for wanting your hair to be that long.

ask her to help you pick out a new style for a haircut. she might want to be included in a new part in your life.

as for it being thin and flat, try pantene shampoo and volumizing creme. my sister uses it and it works great.

as for it being dull, the only thing I can think of is getting it highlighted, but that might be a strech if she wont let you cut it.
