My kid likes short hair too. It’s the way little girls want their hair these days. I don’t see what’s wrong with having short hair. You need to take her to a hair stylist so she can get it the way she wants it cause oviously she cuts it herself over and over because she’s not OK with the way she does it herself. Or is someone at school bullying her and cutting it for her? You need to talk to her instead of getting on to her.

Hide all the scissors for one. Tell her you will shave it off if she wants to keep cutting it as there will come a time where you won’t be able to fix it. Take her to the hairdressers if you haven’t already. Get her hair clips to keep her hair out of her face!

Cut it all off. Let her feel the repercussions. I raised a trans child. While you might hate to hear it, it’ll happen in a much worse way if you deny the child. I was denied and I’m fine. Then again, I didn’t fight it.
Mama, sometimes… it’s not about you. Your wants/wills/wishes. You have 2 job and that’s to be a good Mother. So, don’t be a pink Floyd song.
Shave the head, be 1 step ahead. If the child likes it, fine! If not, a valuable lesson was learned.
Plus, the hair will grow back thicker/healthier! Win-win!

Let her have short hair if she wants to. Take her to a stylist and let them do it. I wouldn’t count on the style books. I decided to get my hair cut short a little less than a year ago. In the books, those women leave the front longer and it gets in the face on purpose. I didn’t like that. I just had them cut it short all over my head. At first, it looked like I had been scalped. But the more I looked at it, the more I liked it. I’ll never try to grow my hair out again!
So, she doesn’t like her hair.
She has told you. You have done nothing about it.
So, she decided to take matters into her own hands.
And you still don’t listen. Instead, you threaten to shave her head bald?
When I was her age, I was taking razors to my hair. I liked that choppy look.
Be a mother. Listen to your kid. And take her to a salon. It’s not hard.

Take her ro get her hair cut? Cut the way She likes it… maybe she’s interested in being a stylist?
I think she wants it short and doesn’t know how to communicate with you. Try to understand why she cuts it.
- Ask her how she’d like her hair styled…then go together and get it done for her! She’ll worship you for it!
- Put the scissors somewhere she can’t and won’t find them!

i deal with this! is a sensory thing! first off, fix her hair! pull it all back to a bun or ponytail. of the ponytail touches her neck or back funny she may not like that either. Make sure it’s not too tight, big soft scrunchies are your friend! Hide the scissors 
If she doesn’t like the style she has maybe look online together and see what styles she’s drawn to! Then get a haircut or keep pulling it back if she’s satisfied.
good luck mama

Keep scissors away from a child would be a good start! Get her a hair clip to keep the hair out her face?
When my daughter chopped her bangs off I put her entire front half in braids or twists.( when it got long enough to grab) it keeps it out of their face, you can do it at night & it lasts a few days. It will also keep her from having access to it dangling in her face to cut. Good luck.
Don’t shave her head. You will need a therapist instead of a hairdresser.

If she wants it short , take her to have it professionally cut short. Real short. Then she will cry and never do it again 
Take her to get her haircut professionally in a style and length she wants. It’s her hair and I’m sure she’d be much happier with a pro short cut than anything done with the kitchen scissors

Take her to a salon and get it cut so it’s not in her face You shave her head bald, your going to scar her… unless that’s what she wants. Which I don’t know your child but I doubt they want to be bald. I never went through the hair cutting thing as a kid. I would cry when I would get it cut because I wanted looong hair Every child is different. I highly recommend taking her to a salon and having it professionally cut the way she likes. She sounds old enough to know how she would want her hair to look like 
Now if she kept cutting on it after you took her to get it cut the right way, I would threaten the buzz cut. Otherwise at least give the girl a chance. Also put the scissors where she wont find them. Keep them in your room if you have to.

Take the Scissors away just as simple as that and then tear that butt up and dare her to do it again…
I’m currently going through this almost exact same scenario, so far I’ve “lost” all the scissors, and we had a big chat about how this constant cutting won’t make then be out of her face as they’ll just keep growing back and making the problem worse, and last pull her hair out of her face with a hairstyle of some sort?
Let her pick a hair style she wants, then hide the scissors

My sons’ and daughter have done this. Simply putting scissors out of reach doesn’t solve the problem(it can help) but doesn’t solve. 1. They will live with the consequence and often after a few times and a bad messy snip they learn to stop.
2. Be involved and super active (attention seeking could be a reason - my son is often like this with all kinds of things) drives me crazy but is healthy and normal too 3. Is the hair bothering the child? Like others said; get the hair cut professionally (ie. I sat my son down for a serious chat on his level of course asking what the reason was for cutting his hair most recently? He wasn’t really curious etc he just wanted a few hairs bothering him our of his way and thought he was being helpful. 4. If your child is receptive or not is a different matter but do your best to have a talk about the dangers of using scissors for such things like haircuts just as you would any other danger. Scissors hidden solve a temporary issue in a time and place but when they get into art supplies, or need scissors in a backpack for school (hence they could literally sneak them out of backpack on bus and cut hair or find some and cut hair in deep middle of night in absolute quiet while people are asleep etc. So hiding doesn’t solve the overall. Perhaps your child wants to cook something how would you handle talking about the dangers of using a stove etc without permission or supervision vs maybe the child making a sandwich using no heat etc. We all need to really TALK to our little human counterparts as just that little humans because that’s what they are and the frustrating things they do sometimes make no sense or little sense to us but might make 100% logical sense to us. However, maybe they know a danger maybe they don’t? My daughter thought she could make her hair grown longer by cutting her bangs shorter not the opposite. 1 talk about that the 2nd time she cut her hair was all it took. For her to understand thats not how it works. My oldest son, he did it 1 time and was unhappy with the results. My youngest I hid and hid and hid and locked everything etc etc etc he wanted to remove some irritating hairs but was carried away with curiosity. So I got into dangers, scissor safety, showed him they make specially designed scissors for hair vs paper vs etc etc… then we dove deep into practicing cutting shapes with different textures like a paper towel, a piece of paper, a dolls hair (and showing the mess and considering in it how easily and oops could cause boo boos) mind you my son is younger than your daughter. Perhaps it would go easier perhaps harder. But just really really try to talk to her on a level she gets and understands but remember to keep your composure and respect her while you talk to her like you would anyone else. As a human being, if she were anyone else u can visualize how would u talk to her? If its any different than how you have been, try a different way. And consequences etc I HAVE NO PROBLEM with i just think so many of us need to try to talk to these children more and put ourselves into their little shoes most of their actions do have a reason sometimes just not one that makes sense to us
Uhhh keep the scissors away?

Let her cut it. It’s her hair not yours. Shit, if she wants to shave her head might as well let her. There’s nothing wrong with allowing your kids to have control of their own hair and their own body. 
This sounds like a sensory issue. Cut it short how she likes and stop stressing. Momma hair grows back I promise. She may not be able to vocalize or be aware it’s a sensory issue.

My 4 year old granddaughter was doing the same thing. We make sure it’s pulled up in a bun off her face. We told her we would cut her hair like her brother if she didn’t stop cutting the front of her hair. She wants to be rapunzel so she wants it long, but the front falls in her face. She’s stopped since we started putting her hair up. We have a good stylist that was able to blend the mess my granddaughter cut multiple times.

I actually did this when i was young, and I seriously hated my hair being in my face so much, so I literally cut my hair down to the scalp right above my forehead lol needless to say I never did it again. My aunt wouldn’t cut me bangs to cover it up and she knew I would cut them too so I had to deal with it for a few years all I know that would help is for her to keep her hair up 247, cutting it short might help but it’s gonna be all over her face too
