A nine year old isn’t old enough to understand what she’s done. I hope she isn’t teased over this. She will certainly remember this, though.

The amount of people saying they wouldn’t allow it… well I feel sorry for those children. It’s always better to let your kids express themselves in a way that doesn’t harm them or anyone else then have a kid who feels like they can’t be themselves around their own parents

Do they forget that HAIR GROWS BACK… I bet if it was a grandson/nephew no one would say a thing. My niece wanted hers shaved at 8 or 9 no family members threw a fit because it’s NOT THEIR HAIR and they all liked it. She’s 13 now and still has it partially shaved.

I mean I’d be concerned what the reaction is when back at school. The family shouldn’t have issue but kids may bully her. If happy then that’s main thing. But when bullying starts she may regret the decision and hair doesnt grow back Instant. I cut my hair real short I was bullied for it.

Fuck man it’s just hair. It will grow back. It’s not like it’s a face tattoo
I would allow it.
I allowed one of my 11 year old twins to get half her head shaved and they put a design on it and I let her use temporary color as well.
My daughter was happy and I didn’t care what anyone else but her thought of it.
She is your daughter and it’s her hair … as long as you and your daughter are ok with it then it’s fine….
Your child is happy. Who cares what your family thinks and if they’re mad at you for doing what makes your child happy then they should probably just remove themselves and take that negative energy with them

Kids ask for a lot of things that they don’t realize have consequences. She may shave her head and love it but will she love when kids are school are unkind or everyone asks if she has cancer. That’s why as parents we have to say no to these things… in my house when you turn 18 you can do outlandish things and make those body choices… until then I will make choices to ensure a healthy and happy adolescence. Is it right that people are cruel… absolutely not but there are enough trails and tribulations that occur for growing girls an alternative appearance will not help.
No. What is wrong with you?

You’ve stated the only thing that matters… she loves it. That’s all that matters. We need to both allow and encourage our children to express themselves however they want. This allows them to be who they are and teaches them that they don’t need to hide who they are based on what other people think.
I’d piss everyone off a little more and let her color it bright blue or green or purple! She’s your child. Not theirs.
Eff whoever doesn’t want her to be herself. She’s happy and that’s all that matters.
It’s only hair and plus it’s your daughter your decision. Don’t let them try to shame you girl!
Your child, your decision!
Some people think we should control every detail about our kids. But if and when you do, just as soon as they can, they’ll rebel, revolt, and there is nothing you can do. Hair (particularly length and style, color just depends on if the school allows it and if other activities do) should be a free choice made by the person wearing it. And if they dye natural colors, above 13-14 is when I feel comfortable letting them do that. Older and younger is fine too. If you and your daughter are comfortable, then nothing else matters.
What if in a few months she hates it hair don’t grow back overnight???

Screw them =) she’s your daughter. And if she’s happy, that’s all that matters. My daughter asked me for MONTHS to shave the side of her head and I did it last year. It’s growing back, but she loved it because she matched with me. Now she has her hair cut a little above the shoulders because she asked me to do it. If people are mad the can go F themselves.
Your kid, her head. 
Uuum why does your family have a say in your daughters hairstyle? People shave their heads all the time to raise awareness for leukaemia. Do they get offended at that? 
goodness me. Who cares it’s hair n it probably looks awesome too. They will get over it 
good luck

I commend you for letting her do it. I get a lot of grief from people for allowing my 9 year old son to have a mullet, he wanted it, he loves it, and it makes him happy. It’s only hair and honestly it’s her hair if that’s how she wants it she should be able to make that decision. If my biggest battle is over how my son wants his hair I’m okay with that, he’s 9 not 2.

My daughter did at age 10. Then a couple years later decided to grow it back out
I don’t think you are wrong. I actually applaud you for allowing your daughter to express herself and make the decision to shave her head like what she wanted. It’s just hair… it’ll grow back. I’d tell your family they can keep their unnecessary opinions to themselves. If they continue to be aholes about it, tell them they can shove it.

Ok so my husband had this HUGE thing about mine and our daughters hair…wanting it to stay long lol well I’m not a very good listener and it’s my hair so I’ve always done what ever I wanted with it and when our daughter was old enough to voice her honest opinion on how she wanted her hair… I allowed it because its HER hair. Now her daddy was a little upset the first time but its apart of her personality so he has come to love it lol it’s just hair mama…and its hers… screw what everyone else thinks 
My oldest had long, curly hair that was beautiful. It was, however, an absolute nightmare to maintain and keep the tangles out. When she was around 6 she asked to have it cut and we sat down to pick out the cut. I was still married to my ex at the time. We were at a family gathering when my daughter told her aunts and uncles that she was getting several inches cut off. I have never heard so many people complain to me at once. I went to the kitchen and came back with the calendar and pen. I told them since they all had so much to say about not cutting her hair, we would make a schedule for each of them to come up every day to maintain her hair. I reminded them to allow at least 30 minutes and to prepare for a lot of yelling. Crickets!! Guess who got that haircut and never grew back their hair? If they aren’t going to help, their opinion doesn’t count.

Who cares what anyone thinks but you and your daughter?! You showed her two things. That hair is something she has control over and can try new things with… And that she can be comfortable being herself despite what others think. Hair grows back. It is literally the only thing kids have some control over… Or should anyway. I have always given my son control over his hair and have been taking shit for it for many many years. He’s 17 now. Long blond hair. He’s always kept it long except a few times in his life. I’ve been taking shit about “getting that boy a haircut” forever. No one understands why I chose to let my son have control over his own hair.
She is your baby, you did it cause she wanted it. They will get over it

Screw the family. It’s just hair. I’m glad your kid is happy. I was 17 when my mom finally let me cut my hair short, not shaved. It was around 1 inch long. I loved it short but hated that I had some length. After turning 18 I shaved it completely bald. I loved it.
Maybe look into a few cheap wigs Incase your daughter wants hair one day but not for good.
Like just to dress up or something like that.

You did the right thing for her. They’re not responsible for her happiness. It’s just hair. There are more important things to teach children than to care about how they look or what others think. Glad she knows what makes her happy and I’m proud of you for knowing how to foster that happiness
