I want to let my hair grow but I don't know how to tell it ti my parent's because they don't understand what I want to do. If yow were me what will you do? how long would you let it grow? how do you tell your parents? please answer, if ti is in mail is best.....thanks
I never really "told" my dad. He just would have comments like "When you getting a haircut" in the early stages and I constantly told him im growing it out. Like two or three months ago he would asked just for a trim, which I obviously still refused. Now he just tells me my hairs getting long, which I don't mind. They'll get the idea eventually, so be adamant about what you want. Cry if you must. :-D
I'm growing it to my boobs btw.

Mine is just long enough to thread through my nipple rings. ;-D
(Oh what a tangled web we weave).
Hair grows slow enough that they may not really notice it for awhile. When they do say something about it just tell them that you think that you would like to try your hair at a bit longer length to see how you like it.
You don't have to make an announcement about it.
I don't know how your parents are, but I just had to wait until I went to college. I tried throughout Jr. High and high school, but the longest I was ever able to get it before I left home was to the middle of my ears, before they would drag me to the barbers.
So, it's possible you're just gonna have to wait. So, more power to ya, if you can get them to let you
Sounds like you know ahead of time that your Parents will not approve. If you announce your plans to them, it will quickly call attention to the issue and may make for trouble that isn't even there yet! Here is what I would do as to avoid frictions and keep peace within the house. DON'T get anymore haircuts until one of your parents suddenly notices that you are "over-due." Very nicely answer them that you are planning (just as soon as you are able) to get a haircut. Then stall until the subject comes up again and DO get that haircut..........but only the slighest of trims. At least they will know you DID have your hair cut, and with luck not say anything more right away. Then wait until the next time they ask and do the same. You can always say you decided you would like it just a "bit" longer........and this wouldn't be a lie. The word "bit" means many things to different people. Also, can you locate a High School Yearbook of your parents? Look through it for the guys who had the longer hair. Perhaps even your Father? Anyway, save this ploy to try and make an innocent remark later if you want to show them what longer style appeals to you. Always be polite and tell the truth.......yes, you DID get a haircut. Just little by little they may get used to it and you may be able to let it get longer and longer without a disturbance in the family. How far you are able to go is another question for I know not of your parents. But, a "Non-Argumentative approach" and treating them with the kindest respect might actually get you a long way. Good luck!
