Tell her it looks good. If she is not happy it will grow out, it is not the end of the world. Then explain it could be worse and look like this

How old is your daughter?
Get her some of those small accessories and clips to go in the front. They have some really cute ones out there. Or scarfs are in style too.

How do you make your kid feel better about a bad haircut? The cut itself is fine, she just hates it....Says it is too short and looks like a boy! She was in tears last night, any advice?

The new style is longer in the front with the back kinda spikey-ish, where you can put the gel in the back and it gets all messed up and kinda spikey...


My best thought so far is to go get her some like pink wash out highlights to help her feel a little more "girley" while it grows out....:shrug:

I Know exactly what kind of haircut you are talking about. My daughter had the same thing, she thought she wanted that style and then was devasted at how short it actually was........so instead of saying"well you wanted it like that"..i went on line and looked up actresses and pop singers who all had their hair cut short like her's, and after she saw them she felt so much better, and really liked her hair cut!......I also would let her wear clear lip gloss, and we got some funky hair clips to put in the longer area around the front. Hope this helps :huggy:

That's what I was thinking. You can find barettes with different colors of hair attached to them and stuff like that.

Yes. I saw it in Sally's Beauty Supply. They have a pretty good variety as well. If she just wants to add a little color, they also have some tubes that look like mascara you can buy and use in your hair and it washes away as well.

Buy her a pink bandana and tie it on......that is what I do when I have a bad hair day.

you can also get it at any pharmacy like Rite aide, or CVS........they come in funky blue and pink, also if you look where the hairstyling products are (well at my CVS) they have some little things that look like mascara, but they are for the hair, you just pluck a strand of hair and then run the bristle brush down it, and it gives colour, but my daughter has brown hair, and not many of the colours showed up good, but she was happy with just the hint of colour!!

I think Nickel took some kind of vitamin or supplement to help her hair grown faster. Is your daughter too young for that?

A bad haircut is the worst. :huggy:

It's Biotin ... I'm not sure that a little girl should be taking it, though. Definately check with her pediatrician first. There are a lot of different strengths.

Maybe take her to another salon and have a hairdresser make some recommendations of things she can do with it the way it is. The good thing is that -- eventually -- it will grow back out. :yay:

I would definitely not suggest giving her any strange vitamins without consenting a doctor first. I say just buy her some cute little barrettes at Claire's or something and jazz up her hair. I had a bad hair cut when I was little (well, for most of my childhood :lmao:) and I got over it eventually. :lol:

Oh no way would I give her anything without consulting her doc, she actually has an appt. tomorrow with an ear nose and throat doc, for her swimmers ear that she has had for over a month, and I may ask them and see if they have any ideas.......

I don't recall ever being coddled when I got a crappy haircut. :lol: It was "Oh well, it will grow out. Now go play.". :shrug:

Would THIS face lie?
OK, got 2 options for ya....
1) Mr. Rays hair weave...
2) Dye it jet black, do her nails black, black lipstick, black leather pants that are 2 sizes too small for her, black eye liner and a pretty pink top with butterflies on it.. :whistle:

I bet she'll forget all about it in a couple of days.... :huggy:

My 5 1/2 year old would love for Option 2 to be her decision but the top has to be black with some type of netting incorperated into it as well.
