Young Boys That Don't Have Their Hair Cut

Perhaps...we can blame it on Justin Bieber? Did I even spell his surname correctly? No disrespect to Bieber fans out here, okay?

Long hair is just fashionable these days. Come on get with the times! You sound like a mother from the sixties who's kids were growing their hair long like The Beatles! My son has long hair, I would prefer that he shaved it like I do as it was much cheaper when he did that and he was at least able to wash it properly back then! But at least now he looks "cool" and not such a bogan!

I think the reasoning behind the grown out hair on boys can either be a financial issue or it could also be the boy beggining his mom not to make him cut his hair because it's a style he wants to have. In my area grown out hair on boys has actually become a common thing, it's part of their style.

I've always had my hair long, even when I was a kid... I remember when I was around 8, my hair being down to my shoulder blades... When I was around 10, my hair came down to my waist... It's not about how much it costs to get a hait cut, I just liked having a long hair... Even now, I have a shoulder length hair... It's some people's preference...

I know for a fact that it is not expensive to have a boys haircut. It might be the parents are too lazy or the kids fight their parents and do not want a haircut. I remember when I was young, I always had my hair cut. but as I got older I grew it long. And that was the style back in the seventies and eighties. It is also looking to be a trend again now. I see more and more young boys with longer hair. But in the age bracket you're talking about, I do believe the parents should cut their child's hair. And yes they can do it at home with those new hair cutting machines they have.

I don't think they don't have their hair cut as it is expensive.Once a month,how much may they cost? Is it because a celebrity's hair-style is in vogue? However,how come boys who are from toddler age to 10 are all star fans? Aren't they all look like girls? It confuses me.

i think overall people are letting themselves go as far as overall appearance. its just not the hair but its the cloths as well. it could also be possible that people are really that broke that they can't afford to get their kids hair cut. i mean what are you going to do? put food on the table or get their hair cut. times are tough for people.

Some boys don't want short hair, and sometimes the parents don't want them to have short hair, and sometimes it's both. It really depends whether it looks intentionally long, as in they have a style, or whether it's just scruffy and LOOKS ungroomed. There is a difference. If I had a little boy and his hair was curly, I probably would keep it longer vs a buzz cut, or if he wanted it all one length say past the bottom of his ears, I'd be okay with that too. I don't like the inbetween 'shaggy' type of style but if you're growing out hair, that's kind of unavoidable for awhile. I don't think the schools have the right to 'mind' unless they are private or the child has hygiene issues related to shaggy hair. I know that sounds kind of strange but private schools can enforce things that most public schools do not. I'm actually glad, I use the public school system and I don't want other people telling me HOW I need to cut or style my child's hair. I have a little girl and at least I DO her hair, unlike some people. I think if people are going to complain about hair, I have some gripes too. I don't think people should send ANY child to school without having their child at least BRUSH or COMB their hair or doing it for them. Kids have no business being in public looking like they haven't showered in a week or wearing clothing that looks like it hasn't been washed in a week. I think dress codes should include these things as violations rather than focusing on certain types of clothing or colors.

I think it's fashion, honestly. I remember being in school at that age and let me tell you, the boys with the longer hair got a LOT of attention from girls! When my husband was young, his father always had to get on his back to cut his hair...but by the time he was in his teens and early twenties, he let it grow out like he wanted it, and I'm so glad he did. Longer hair is absolutely beautiful on my husband...it gets to the point that he has to cut it for work and I get pretty upset. Like any haircut, I really think it depends on the person, too. Many boys look funny with short hair. My little cousin was one of them. Something about his facial structure didn't quite fit with short hair. He grew out the hair, got a little confidence and quite a few girls to flock behind him, and then cut it again in his later teens. My grandmother's happy with the short hair on him, but I just don't think it looks right. Some boys just look better with long hair!

I don't understand it either! I grew up with crew cut, and I even went to a school which required us to have our hairs cut short. Even after a rebellious period where I grew my hair long after I got out of that school, I still went back to having it short. My kids always get their haircut every 3 or 4 weeks. It's a bit expensive, but I'd rather spend that (I tried cutting them at home with disastrous results), than have them runnign around in scruffy hair.

I think it's about fashion. I remember my son has a very nice hair when he was in his elementary years. We seldom cut his hair during those times, but when he went to high school, the school is implementing a rule on the student's hair cut so we have to follow. Now my son is already in college and he got used to the hair style already.

I think it is the responsibility of parents to have their hair cut and kept neat because 10 years old kid is a minor. Maybe the parents like it that way but for me, school should be very professional and short neatly cut hair. If I was the principal, I would not allow shaggy hair in school. Have a wonderful day ahead.

Maybe because they love long hair. And they feel that they will look more handsome if they had a long hair..lol
