[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You spend $350 on haircuts??

I have two girls. One is obsessed with this stuff. I tell her I will pay for the basics - shampoo, conditioner, facial cleanser, moisturizer, acne cream, toner.

She's been begging me for hair oil lately. $29.  I told her if she wants it she can pay for it. The same for facial masks, lip exfoliators and whatever other nonsense she comes up with . It's out of control, and totally unnecessary.[/quote]

+1. And not to be lecture-y but a lot of this hair stuff is about fitting a very Eurocentric beauty standard. I have straight hair and my husband has curly hair (typical “Jewfro”) and my three girls all have pretty straight hair but with curls and body. At four (four!) my eldest told me she didn’t want curly hair. Girls internalize beauty standards at a young age it is sad. I don’t want my kids to feel they need to carry a torch but I’m not using my money to further racist-if-you-think-about-it societal beauty standards. Most people are not prettier with blond or straight hair. [/quote]
