She Refused To Cut A Little Girl’s Hair For Her Stepmother Because She Knew The Girl’s Biological Mother Wanted To Let Her Daughter’s Hair Grow Out
This woman’s friend, who’s a hairdresser, was just working at her hair salon when a woman and her 10-year-old stepdaughter walked into the shop one day.
For some context, her friend already knew the little girl, her father, and his ex-wife – the little girl’s biological mother.
“And the father always said how he and his ex-wife had agreed to let their daughter’s hair grow out because of their Native American heritage,” she said.
Well, after years of leaving the little girl’s hair alone, the stepmother suddenly came up with a different plan.
More specifically, the stepmother approached her friend and claimed she wanted the 10-year-old’s hair cut to shoulder-length since it was “too much work” to brush and clean it.
All the while, the little girl was crying and kept repeating the word “no,” making it obvious that she didn’t want her hair cut.
So, since her friend knew the girl’s biological mother, she decided to pull up the mother’s information on the computer and call to confirm whether or not the haircut was okay.
“Because the child was crying that she didn’t want to cut her hair,” she reasoned.
Then, once her friend got the girl’s mother on the phone, the mother said “absolutely not” to the haircut. That’s why her friend wound up refusing to cut the little girl’s hair at all.

However, the girl’s stepmother simply would not back down and kept demanding that she give the child a haircut anyway.
“And after minutes of back-and-forth arguing, the stepmother got a call from the dad, and there was a yelling match,” she revealed.
Yet, in the end, the stepmother wound up taking the little girl and leaving the hair salon – without getting a haircut.
But while her friend thought she did the right thing at the time, she’s since been left wondering if telling the stepmother “no” and calling the girl’s biological mom for confirmation was actually the wrong move.
Do you think she overstepped by calling the girl’s biological mom, or did she do the right thing? Should children get forced into haircuts if they don’t want them?
