She wants to wear her hair all back with 1 piece of hair hanging out of her crown. In pictures she took for her portrait, this piece of hair got in the way of her eyes, nose, and mouth and it covered her smile. I want her to show off her smile in pictures that are taken at this party without anything blocking her face. Should I let her do this or should i have her push ALL her hair back for great jmemories of her and not just that piece of lingering hair.

Perhaps you can find a hairstylist that you both agree on who is "cool" enough for her, and sensible enough for you, and have her hair styled so that the piece of hair coming from the crown doesn't block her face, yet gives her the look she wants.

I say let her wear it her way. This is a big day for her and there is no point in having fights and putting everyone in bad moods over hair. I do see what your saying I'm a mother of two girls but sometimes we as parents have to learn to just pick our battles. Maybe you can ask her to let you take a few pictures with the family and all dressed up with her hair the way you want it before she has the party and then she can change it when its time for the party. Maybe you'll get lucky and she will see that it looks great that way and leave it!

Let her have it her way and your way. Take a few photos like how she wants it and then ask her if you can take a few without the hair. This way you bith get your ways but let her wear her hair which ever way she wants to her party. In the end you will see it is small things that she will love about you later on and then you can both laugh about that silly piece of hair.

If her hair is instantly as a board now, ignore it. yet when there is any waves or curls, attempt this.. at the same time as moist (no longer towel dried too a lot!) be conscious a creme curl lotion, comb through with a tremendous the teeth comb. Scrunch the from the finally ends up (like wadding paper) then use frizz eaze dream curl spray. do not use too a lot or her hair will "crunch". Air dry or diffuse on low warmth putting. I easily have evidently wavy/curly hair and this works for me. I easily have also got here upon that shampooing in uncomplicated phrases each 3 days, yet conditioning usual reduces frizz through an outstanding purchase.

It seems like the hair is part of her identity, and she'll want to remember her Sweet Sixteen as a party about her defining herself, not her step-parent defining her. Let her do her hair the way she wants - it's honestly not important. Yes, you'll remember the hair when you look in photos. It's just a part of her growing up, and something you can probably laugh at when she gets older.

Let her get it her way but when that piece of hair becomes a burden carry some extra bobby pins so you can pull it back or invite her hair stylist to the ceremony that's what i did with my quince she was there when pieces of hair would fall out of my crown

As the father of two boys, 18 and 17, I would suggest you pick your battles. Her hair is not a battle you want to die on.
Does your stepdaughter complain that you are too controlling of other aspects of her life?
In my opinion, a 16 year old is still trying to discover and define who she really is...and she's not going to find out for several more years.
In my humble opinion, let her wear her hair however she wants. There a lot more serious problems to deal with teenagers about.

I think you should let her do it how she wants it. It's her sweet 16 and it will be her memories, so if she wants to have that one piece of hair in her face in her memories let her do so. Plus, she put the piece of hair there for a reason. Its probably her "fashion statement". If she likes it let her have it for her birthday.

Sweetie, I'll have this battle to fight with my husband in the next year or so. It's just hair. I know she would probably look absolutely beautfiul with all her hair pulled back, but it's her birthday and she would probably prefer to be "cool" around her friends. Take a deep breath...repeat after me..."it's just hair...it's just hair...it's just hair." There could be worse things! Get your pictures before the party.

Just remember what it was like to be a teenager. Especially a girl.
Kids don't have much they can control, at least give her, her hair. I mean come one, Do you really want her to remember this occasion because of her hair and who wants it what way, or do you want her to enjoy it because it was her sweet 16.....Remember you can never go back and you want her to enjoy it because it is her 16th birthday not yours.
