I would go the safe zone and maybe wait until you get into college. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
She won't go ballistic. If she's a really understanding mom i believe she'll learn to love and accept it. I dont think you should do it behind her back, however, cuz that'll just lower her trust in you . Definitely, talk to her about it and sit her down and tell her why you want it and why itllbe important to you, and let me know what happens!!! good luck !!! i bet you'll look super hot in that haircut <3333
Do it, it's your hair and it's not like it'll never grow back.
My hair grows about a foot per two years so just made sure you are really sure about that buzz cut, and yeah like Muisaki said, make sure to tell your ma and say it's your decision.
I tried talking to her and giving her my reasons patiently while addressing the concerns she had, but she just kind of tried to do an end all to the conversation saying "you can do what you want when you're independent and have a job and you I'm your mom so end of discussion" which I feel is unfair because I'm not asking her to pay for anything I'm just trying to get her to accept looking at a me with shorter hair. I won't call quits and I feel like I'm either gonna do it with or without her approval but if I can want to know how to open up discussion again so I can actually get her consent?
Even if you do cut your hair without her permission, what's she gonna do, it'll already be cut.
I'm a 17yr old Asian-American girl and I'm really set on getting a buzz cut (not super short but like half an inch all around maybe). I have a pixie cut already so it's not a super drastic change. When I told my mum she was super against it, but technically if I did it she wouldn't be able to do anything about it (I have an electric razor and everything). Like I guess she could burn my stuff when I'm at school, but idk. I'm currently a senior in high school and applying to art schools which are super liberal so it's not gonna hurt me (unless my mum gets super mad and says I can't apply bc of my hair but that's not likely). I'm just tired of always being obedient. Do you think a mom would really be upset forever if I cut my hair?
Should I just get the haircut and let my mom get over it or should I not because I'm afraid she'll go ballistic? I just want to live my life man.
