My (now former) SIL used to do something similar with my nephew but she shaved his head. Not in a cute summer buzzcut way, but in a "he looks ill, is he ok" way. He was basically bald. It was awful. I don't know if it was some sort of power play or what, but his school photos all through elementary school make him look sickly.
Honestly I think what your SIL did is some sort of mental illness.
My late mother who was mentally ill would not let me grow my hair, I would get short boy haircuts until I was maybe 10? (I am female)
Puzzles me to this day why she did it.
Claimed it was more practical? Maybe she was indeed clueless but hard to tell
