Why do you let your daughter have long scraggly hair?

That being said, when I read OP's post, I immediately thought of a friend of mine who has NEVER cut her daughter's hair and thinks it looks GREAT when in fact its REALLY thin and stringy and uneven, but man is it LONG, which is all my friend seems to care about.

But I just smile and agree, because I really don't care, however I would never let my daughter's hair look like that. Just sayin'.

I don't think is the curly hair that is the issue. Its the long straight knappy hair that gets me. It looks greasy and unhealthy. On the flip side I can't stand it when people cut all of their daughter's hair off into a bowl cut so that they look like the Dutch Boy.

ladies you need to relax....I think you're getting all worked up because you are insecure about your daughters scraggly hair so you feel you must defend it when really...you know it's scraggly...just embrace it. And yes...op MEANT to be funny in a sarcastic kind of way in her response I'm sure. You'd know that if you were funny yourself pp's.

You mother was probably ashamed that she had such a dumpy daughter.

I am going to go out on a limb and say that you probably don't bother taking any pride in your own appearance either. Your poor little daughter probably takes one look at your ugly Chico's clothes and bi-level haircut and figures she shouldn't even bother trying to fix herself up.

You may not be trashy on the outside, but you are nothing but filth on the inside.

I doubt that; someone on "The Bling" thread mentioned that Chico's has rhinestones.....swoon!

I really want to think that the OP is trying to be funny...sadly, I am not sure though.

Yes.. People who want their kids to look neat and clean are all pageant moms. Go spend your Chico's gift card and after that maybe head to Hair Cuttery you old bag.

It is a good quality to want your children to look neat and clean. However, attacking others and calling children names is vile and disgusting.

My DD is growing out her hair for Locks of Love. Really. And it is gorgeous thick naturally highlighted blond hair. It can look better than any other girl's in the class if we take extra time to tend it, but usually we do a quick brushing and put it in a ponytail so it doesn't bother her running at recess or in gym class. She is a tomboy and couldn't give a hoot about having fancy clothes or perfect hair (even though I have bought her fancy clothes and exposed her to beauty salons, etc.) Her peers' moms who care about such things should be happy that she doesn't try to look great, because it keeps her from outshining their daughters. Even still, almost every day, someone else tells me how beautiful she is. It is not all about the hair.

i am so glad i have a BOY! he's not yet 3, but i don't think i've ever brushed his hair a day in his life (maybe once before a picture?). he has really thick hair, but there's no way he'd sit for a brushing, and it would just be a mess minutes later anyway. i'm imagining that little girls are the same way, right?

i'm one of those people that thinks the ragamuffin kids are the cutest. i get a kick out of the kid who obviously dressed herself b/c nothing matches. and the stringier the hair, the better!! those j. crew-cut-outs make me sad b/c they never look like they are having fun.

cheers to the straggly kids!
