Yes.  Differentiate their appearance somehow.  They're getting old enough that this is weird.[/quote]

We can't.  They like having matching hair. Neither wants bangs. Neither wants layers or different lengths.  We will do a ponytail on one and pigtail braids on another, or a lavender scrunchie for one and blue for the other. [/quote]

You are only encouraging they don’t have individual identities. Pick out four different hairstyles and have them each choose. If they choose the same one flip a coin and make one choose their next favorite. Hopefully in the future they will feel like they can express themselves without feeling like they have to match.

Or continue on and Hanna will continue to answer to Hanna or Sara or the twins. And Sara will continue to answer to Sara or Hanna or the twins. Like that’s normal...[/quote]

And be ready to pay for the therapy bills for the one who was forced to have the less preferred haircut.

Forced haircuts are totally unnecessary.  Just work with them on polite ways to correct people.  It sounds like maybe they are already doing well with that and just either got bored with it this weekend or wanted to make a game of it.  [/quote]
