I cut my own hair before my 6th birthday. I really wanted a fringe so I cut one myself and hid my hair in a Barbie backpack under my bed. If I remember correctly, mum found it and chased me with a wooden spoon. She always did that. She was so angry all the time, she used to scare me. That being said, it’s hard being a single mum. She did her best and I’m very grateful for that. Also high five to little me for being brave enough to do it. That’s pretty badass for me, I was so timid. I think it looked okay tbf. If my kid ever cut their own hair, as long as they were safe I’d think it was cool. They tried to do something for themselves. And if they fuck their hair up, it’s okay cos it will grow back. Live and learn. I have their back either way. In the meantime I’ll help them fix it and we’ll go buy cool hats to wear together.

Sweet mama 🫂💜

You are a wonderful mother Pollyanna 💜🫂❤️‍🔥 I can’t tell you how much this warmed my heart 🙏🏽

I cut my bangs I was probably 3 years old... My mom laughted and me and told my dad I looked like a donkey. 😂 I am laughing right now but it scarred me real deep back then. I only recently healed that wound... I feel that incident broke my initiative and creative spirit real early on. I still have ways to go.

I should just do this now 🤷‍♀️. Easier than going to get bangs cut. 🤣🤣

And your bangs look great. Good job 6 year old you 🔥🔥

Thank you, lovely 🥹💜💜🫂

It really is! I accidentally cut bangs recently and it reminded me of this memory 🤣🫂💜

I always miss a spot when I cut mine. Oh well. I’ll get there one day. Besides, it will grow back.
