My mom has a problem with letting me....?

Question

My mom has a problem with letting me get bangs. I have brown, long hair and it's been like that FOREVERR... I just want to get something different for a change. I was thinking of getting some sort of bangs, but she just won't hear of it. Every time I go to a salon, my mom is always right next to me criticizing the cutters job. She just won't relax, it's just a hair cut. And I'm a teen for crying out loud, can't I have it my way??

Answer 1

Book an appointment by yourself or with a friend and take a photo of what you want doing to your hair to the hairdresser! Then once its been done you mom can't do anything about it. She may be angry in the moment but it will all blow over quickly, as there are worse things in life. If you hair ,your body and you life! do what makes you happy! x.x.x. Good luck hun, post a foto of ur new hair!  

Answer 2

Maybe show your mom a few pictures of girls with bangs to show her how cute they are. I have bangs and love them because you can do many different things, and I get really bored with my hair too.

Or try to get her distracted when you go to the salon, start coughing and ask her to go get you some water and tell the stylist to cut your bangs!

Or like the first person said, do it yourself, or have a friend do it

Answer 3

exactly how old are you?

you should be able to make your own desicions if your over 13~

Answer 4

Maybe go with a friend and just bring some money. And then you can get side bangs.

Answer 5

start with wide bangs? they're 'milder' than full bangs, right.

or just go yourself, ask your mom to let your have a girls' night out with your friends or something and just go with your friends and CUT YOUR HAIR!!

by the way i love the song The Great Escape , too! (if your username is referring to that!)

Answer 6

What is the reason she won't let you?  I'm having a hard time understanding why, considering it's not a piercing,tattoo, and especially since most girls with bangs look even more innocent.

Don't just go out and do it.  Don't be the immature rebellious teenager that society expects from you

Talk to her in an adult manner,and ask her the reasons why she does not approve of it.  Make suggestions that counteract her reasons. Is it the upkeep?  Say you have read how to trim your own bangs so she won't have to pay for a salon visit all the time.  Or you can even ask a talented friend to do it, etc.  Work with her!  Talk to her like a mature adult, and she WILL treat you like one!

Answer 7

Well just go ahead do it anyways without tellin her..she'll get over it.. my dad had the same issue he didnt want me to pierce my second hole on my ears but i still did it anyways and he got over it LOL so just do it change is always good!

Answer 8

i'm not encouraging you that your mother is wrong but, it's your hair.You don't want a punk hairstyle, just some simple bangs for goodness sake so, tell your mother that.There are SO MANY COOL STYLES out there for you probably.So just tell your mom that your sick of having long hair that just hangs there.If you are over 13 you should be able to choose your own hairstyle.Go to the salon with a friend and get yourself a haircut.Im not saying to do that on any other occasions.Just for this, and if you don't let your mom know that you can choose your own hairsstyle you will have the same hair for the rest of your life, so tell her respectfully.

Answer 9

wow yeah I def agree with you, she is def over reacting. I mean all your asking for is some bangs, she should feel blessed your not one of those teen girls requesting a tattoo, face piercings or dying hair so young! Why don't you tell her that and maybe she will cut you some slack!!

Go and do it if you have the chance w/o her. Try getting some side bangs instead of those heavy straight bangs across your forehead.

Good luck!

DO NOT CUT THEM YOURSELF!! THE UPKEEP OF BANGS DOES NOT COST MUCH!!! IT'S LIKE $5!!!
