She Was Concerned That Her Stepdaughter Was Becoming Obsessed With Her Long Hair And Vain About It, So She Took Her To A Hairdresser To Force Her To Cut It
If you had long hair as a kid, do you remember not wanting to cut it?
One woman deeply upset her stepdaughter and husband after she forced a hairdresser to cut her stepdaughter’s long hair.
She’s 31 and has been with her 34-year-old husband for eight years. They’ve been married for six years, and she has helped raise his 11-year-old stepdaughter.
“I work from home, so I mainly end up taking care of her,” she said.
“I have since she was young. We have a generally good relationship. She stays at her mother’s most weekends.”
Her stepdaughter had very long, wavy blonde hair that she often had to help her take care of. Her stepdaughter’s hair would often get tangled, and she’d have to spend a long time helping her comb it out before school. In addition to the time maintaining her stepdaughter’s hair takes up, it’s also expensive, as she needs different hair products and oils.
“I decided she had become obsessed with her hair, and I do not want her to become vain, so I decided it needs to be cut,” she explained.
“I don’t see it as a big deal as I have always had shoulder-length hair as my hair does not grow very fast, and I get frequent trims. It’s a lot more practical.”
On the way to the hairdresser, her stepdaughter said she didn’t want her hair cut too short. That’s when she told her she’d ask the hairdresser to cut her hair just below her shoulders. When her stepdaughter realized she was being serious, she started to cry.

“When we got to the salon, the hairdresser was reluctant to cut her hair due to her tears, but I explained the trouble we have maintaining it and assured [her] cutting it would be best for her,” she recalled.
“In the end, the stylist agreed and cut her hair. The stylist braided her hair [and] then cut it. She kept it. Her hair was now just past shoulder length and looked a lot darker.”
Her stepdaughter was distraught and silent on the car ride home. She rushed up to her bedroom as soon as they got home. When her husband got home, he found his daughter sitting in her room and sadly holding her hair. He called her mom to come pick her up.
Once her stepdaughter left, her husband and his ex started yelling at her for cutting their daughter’s hair. She tried to explain why she did it, but her husband was still very angry. He told her that if she had an issue with caring for his daughter’s hair in the mornings, he could’ve done it himself.
Then, he said he no longer trusts her with his daughter and isn’t sure if he could be with a woman he didn’t trust. His words broke her heart.
Was she wrong to make the hairdresser cut her stepdaughter’s hair, or was her husband overreacting?
