Childs Mum: Cut it like a boy..
Me: Sorry what?
Childs Mum: Cut it like a boy, that's what we want!
Felt like calling the NSPCC, what a cruel thing to do to a little girl :/ Baffled me!!
EDIT: I forgot tg is full of overdramatic people who can't read sarcasm and think everything is racist/homophobic/gender stereotypes etc etc etc etc.. holy crap.
YES TOAST805
LITERALLY ALL OF THESE GENERALIZATIONS MADE BY TENGAGERS ARE SO DISGUSTING LIKE THERE IS NO "BOY HAIRCUT OR GIRL HAIRCUTS" LIKE ITS ALL HAIR AND LIKE EVEYRONE CAN HVAE IT ANYWAY THEY WANT
ajg31397 I'll happily buzz cut any lady that walks through my salon door, and cut tons of guys with hair longer than mine... but we're talking about a child.. jeeze way to turn into a serious protest about equalisation.
Lol. I think you are overreacting just a bit :z I understand both sides. And don't think it really matters at 2 years old. Though I would personally let my girls hair grow out.
well yea brandonator.. If the mom said cut my little boys hair to be like mine.. like this lady said to cut her little girls her to be like her dads.. they blog would prob exist cause I think it's weird. And that's my opinion.
yeh thats mean. shes too young to decide what haircut she wants for herself and her mum just wanted soemthing short so she doesnt have to deal with long hair of a child.

Ummm everything IS racist. Do you not understand that??
Why the hell does it matter. She's two. She's not even going to remember it a year from now. You think people are going to judge a two year old'ss haircut? She's too concerned with her stuffed animals to care what others think.
There's nothing wrong with giving a little girl a short hair cut lol, the only bad part is the parents saying "cut it like a boy" as if a short hair cut has to be deemed like a BOY, ie a gender stereotype, it should just be cut it short.
This blog was really stupid but once again tengaged blows everything out proportion and immediately you are completely ignorant because people have nothing else better to do than to pick out every little mistake people make!
I mean Teddybear you sorta hit the nail on the head.. The thing is lots of females have short haircuts and thats fine.. but I'm trained to cut hair dependant on a variety of things.. one being face shape and we style hair to best suit a face shape. Also, Male haircuts use a lot of square angles and techniques whereas females you use more round angles and softer cutting generally cause of the bone structure and scalp structure too. So a short haircut on a girl would always be done differently to a guy.. That is why there is a separate qualification entirely for "barbering" you learn them separately.
Anyway, to people debating the sarcasm of the blog, CLEARLY it was sarcastic when I said id ring the NSPCC.. Jesus, shockingly I did actually spend half an hour with the family and despite their odd choice (IN MY OPINION) of hairstyle for their child they seemed like lovely caring parents. How on earth would anyone deem me saying that as me being serious. Why would I blog that on tengaged?!
Bluestar, sarcasm would be if you said "calling NSPCC, what a cruel thing to do to a little girl" when you actually thought it was fine/perfectly normal, but since you don't actually approve of the situation, it's more of exaggeration rather than sarcasm imo.
But yeah the thing is she's 2 years old, when she's old enough she can make her own decisions on her hair, so whether her hair is short or long now is not a huge deal. The problem is the way it's said, "cut it like a boy" being stereotypical (as I said before) and that also makes it seem like they only want it short because they don't wanna deal with her hair LOL so I agree with you on that part.
Either way Teddybear, it was meant more in jest than what people are making it out to be. It's more that I found it weird, not that I say it's outright wrong. I've done this for like 8 years and never had that before, most parents are trying to grow their girls hair.
