I get my haircut twice a year if I remember, which made me believe that the covid haircut issues others were having wouldn't happen to me. The problem in my logic was in the timing. Although I can go for a long time, I had already done so, and the ends of hair were driving me crazy.
I am a little bit proud that it only took two weeks to convince Princess Pirate to cut my hair! She was totally against it at first, but today she was so sick of me asking, that when I gave her a pair of scissors and the end of my ragged braid, she cut across like it was her idea!
So happy to be rid of the broken ends, and that PP realized that hair cutting was not a big deal! It can be fixed and grow back in most cases, and in the scheme of things, not as risky as she made it out initially to be.
This is the beauty of a teen with caution. They have flashes of impulsive boldness, and learn to be confident. What seems like another annoying task that her mother asks her to do is my parenting achievement of the day! Another step in self-assurance for her future independence!
