How important is it to you that boys have short hair?

Boys can have long hair 👏🏼👏🏼 he sounds like a pain in the rear end and jealous his hair not as long lol to say he’s embarrassed to be seen with his own kid says a lot more about him than it does the child’s hair being long 💯💯

@Redss thank you! That’s exactly my opinion, I told him he needs to work on his own internalised issues and not project them onto a two year old baba

His hair is lovely!! Hair is hair! It shouldnt matter. My boy is 3.5 years old and has long hair (almost down to his bum). It's usually always up in a bun. We have decided that we will cut his hair when he wants to. Xxx

@Demi oh I love this! Your son’s hair is beautiful! And that’s my thoughts too, he can cut it however he wants when he’s a little older and can make that decision himself. Just hard when the other parent is not on the same page🙈

I love seeing boys with little man buns and longer locks its so cute :)

My oldest hated the barbers ( he’s autistic) but hated his hair getting long he’s fine about going now but when he was young it was a battle everytime my youngest 1 doesn’t mind the barbers at all has long hair it’s beautiful not as long as your boys but it suits him and I want him to have a mullet 😂❤️

I was just having this conversation with my mom the other day, she thinks little boys that have long hair are beautiful, and someone she knew let her little boys hair grow down to his back!! I told her that if I had a son I’d keep his hair short and probably have haircuts every week/ every other week. It’s personal preference. Your husbands not wrong for having that opinion vice versa.. maybe meet in the middle and definitely have a conversation with him about why you’d like it to be long and try to hear him out as well.

I agree with the above comment that it’s personal preference, there is no right or wrong answer. Personally I’m not a fan of long hair, buns or ponytails on little boys or grown men, so I keep my boys hair short.

I wouldn’t have long hair on my son but that’s just me X

@N 💞Oh I completely agree! It’s 100% personal opinion, I think short hair looks adorable as well, but I do notice some people do push their opinions, usually negative towards long hair, onto other people. Instead of just being indifferent. And I don’t think a haircut is ever worth saying you’re embarrassed about your child x (btw I won’t be offended with people’s opinions on this post because I’m actively asking for opinions. It’s only unsolicited advice or opinions that cause me offence imo.)

I think him being embarrassed by it is a little much, his hair is cute, but I personally don't want long hair on my boys and I know my husband wouldn't want that either.

Not saying this is what he meant but maybe he wasn’t saying he’s embarrassed of your child, maybe he’s embarrassed of your child looking “unkept” If I didn’t style my child’s hair, she’d look like she just crawled out of bed, I prefer to make sure her hair is done up nicely before I go anywhere, again personal preference. Maybe that’s what he meant. Maybe He wants your son look more presentable or done up ??

@Ariyana that’s a fair conclusion, however he says he prefers him to have his hair tatty and in his eyes then have it tied back or clipped back or brushed back, he prefers a tatty look💀🙈😅 But also I do need to get neater at doing his hair, it is a struggle to make toddler hair look neat imo🤣

@Kayleigh you’ll always find people push their negative opinions on any topic unfortunately

It's definitely down to personal preference but I love seeing little boys with long hair and little man buns. My boy had long hair and I put it up in a little man bun, he's autistic so hated the feel of it on his neck so had to get it cut which he also hated so we did back and sides short and kept the length on top as he loves me doing his hair, I've even French plaited it too - his nursery workers even love his hair it suits him so much. This is what his hair used to be -

Can I ask what you did at the beginning when it was too short to put up but was still in his eyes? Right now I just move it to the side but I’d love a better solution. I’m not ready to cut his hair 😭

@Emma his hair is so beautiful!🥹

@Courtney so cute!!!

@Ryann I have had his fringe cut a few times to let the length grow a bit at the back and the even up the length a bit, but honestly his winter hat kept his hair back for most of the annoying length🙈

He's super cute. My son's hair is coming in so beautiful too, me and my husband have no plans to cut it anytime soon.

I don't think it really matters... But maybe there can be a compromise by edging his hair up

I don't care what others do but my boys will have short hair. I prefer something like a crew cut or high and tight or buzz

My son use to have long hair, I did end up cutting, but not super short. He has one hair cut a year and his dad was actually not happy with the idea of getting his hair cut but I felt it needed to be done it was getting really knotted and matted and difficult to maintain.

He’s worried about the wrong sh*t .. Be embarrassed if your kid can’t count or say any of the alphabet. As long as your son’s hair is clean, maintained and your son is happy that is all that matters.

He looks adorable. ‘Man up’ dad! - just cos your hair isn’t this nice 😝

Ignore him and if he says he’s embarrassed to be seen with him tell him he doesn’t need to go out with him then because that’s super short sighted. Personally i love when little boys have longer hair. I think short shaved in hair on toddlers looks quite chavvy. We had to cut my son’s hair as it was wild and looked really unkempt but it’s not short and we always get compliments from strangers about his blonde curls ❤️. Your boys hair is lovely x

Why not cut the hair? If you hate the cut you can grow it back out.

His hair is fine don’t let nobody tell you different I didn’t cut my baby hair either

Each to their own. One of my twins have long hair as he has beautiful ringlet curls but after the multitude of “what a pretty little girl” comments I also didn’t want to push a particular look on him. For that reason we now do an undercut which looks incredible but I can assure you anyone who would feel ‘embarrassed’ by my son certainly wouldn’t be around them for long! :)

My son has long hair and always gets mistaken for a girl. But he’s got very cute features so I think even if he had short hair it would be the same thing. In my partner’s culture, boys have long hair so I won’t be cutting my son’s hair until he’s old enough to tell me himself he wants it cut. IMO hair, like colours and clothes, shouldn’t be gendered.

I’ve always told my son that his hair is HIS to decide what to do with so when he was too young to decide that himself? I let it grow out. We did trims to keep it even but other than that he had it long and for a long time chose to keep it that way 🥰 he did decide to buzz it last summer but is now working on growing it out again because he misses it (and he also tells me it’s for me too bc he knows I miss his long hair 🥹😭♥️) he’s almost 4.5!

Dont cut it its gorgeous i wouldnt cut it either ifmy baby was a boy

My son’s hair is long because it is absolutely beautiful! I’m jealous 😆

My little one is only fresh out atm but both me and his dad plan on him having long hair when he’s bigger. There shouldn’t be an issue it’s just hair!!!

@Justice this is so true! My little boy has incredible speech for his age and is so happy and friendly already at 2yo and that makes me so proud! His dad clearly doesn’t think the same way 🤦🏻‍♀️

My boy had long hair until he could decide what he wanted to do with it. Now he tries different styles. Love him with long hair.

I really don’t care for long or short hair. However, people can be mean. Also, some boys can look more ‘feminine’ with short hair. Therefore I wouldn’t want my little boy being upset because people thought he was a girl. However his hair is the cutest!!
