The cut was a pixie cut and is growing back slowly and very thick. It is just barely over her ears and just touching her collar. Too short for me but that is what she wanted. She is only 6 and everyone thinks she is a boy unless she is in pink or flowers. I FEEL HORRIBLE !!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe some pretty clips or a head band untill it grows a bit?

I really feel for you. My hair in sixth grade was way below
my butt and my Grandmother felt it was time to cut it,
She cut just below my ears and it was terrible, I had to
start seventh grade looking like a boy. I was teased all
of junior high. So I can relate to you.
But to answer your question, When you blow dry her
hair have her bend over so it gets lots of body, then
use a curling iron and flip it up on the ends.
Or you could part hair on the side and flat iron the front
and pin down with cute barrettes, leave rest of hair
really full.
Or you could flat iron hair and give her a ziz zag part.
Depending on age, you could side part hair and then
pull only a small amount of hair from front into a poytail
and use cute ribbons.
I know they always say it will grow, but good luck and
have fun playing with her hair. It's a great bonding with
your daughter, look on bright side!

This happened to me as a child, and I think that the most important thing you should do is teach your daughter how to respond to people thinking she's a boy. Even though it's not a really big deal, it will hurt her feelings, especially at that age. Teach her that short hair doesn't make her a boy, and that when people mistake her for a boy she can politely respond that she is a girl and that not all boys have short hair and not all girls have long hair. You could also pull out some magazines or books and show her women and girls with short hair so she knows-and really understand--that she's not weird or really different.
Use this as a lesson to teach her about different societal expectations of gender roles, and as a positive example of how she need not (or should, depending on your values) be constrained. For example, teach her about how some people think women shouldn't work, or shouldn't show their hair or face, etc.
And a barette or necklace or earrings is all you need to dispell the insensitive folks who might mistake her for a boy.

take it from someone who knows I had a pixie cut when i was a kid and people thought i was a boy but i didn't like long hair and never have so my mom kept it short. My mom and i would just politely tell those people i was a girl and leave it at that
she is only 6 but have you asked her if she likes the hair cut? She may like it that way and you shouldn't force her to wear a haircut that you like because she may grow up and resent you later on.
you can accessorize with bows or barrettes there are ways to make her look more like a girl
and to the person who said to give her make-up she is only 6 in my opinion WAY TO YOUNG for make-up

The first question is : what does your daughter think about her hair ? Does she like having it like that ? Does she like being seen as a boy ? Is she a tomboy or more a girlie girl ?
If she likes it this way, I would advise not to force her for the moment. Do not worry, her hair will grow.
If she wants to look more feminine, play with clothes and hair accessories.

Get some gel or texturing spray and style it every morning until it grows back. If she really does look like a boy then putting pink glittery clips in her hair will make her look like a gay boy who likes to dress like a girl. If she likes the haircut you should respect her style. She'll respect you more for it. Just let her be herself. It it's what she wants. For all you know this could be phase. We all have to experiment to find out what suits us. It'll grow back, it's not like she suddenly thought short arms were fashionable.

just leave it. dont be tempted to try cutting it to rectify, as it will probably make it worse. Use pretty hair grips/clips, possibly headbands etc and just let it grow. Once it's at a reasonable length, do something else. And to be fair, as long as she isnt bothered (you said its what she wanted), I wouldnt worry too much. She's at an age when it shouldnt bother her or her friends too much anyway. But more cutting etc is not the answer - leave well alone and wait.

It'll grow back.You've got to think your daughter is growing up,and she now has a mind of her own.
You could try putting clips in her hair,put some really girlie earrings in her ears.
Maybe next time,you both could compromise on a hairstyle.

If she doesn't like her hair you could get some cute little hair slides (a la Claires Accessories) and just buy lots of pink glittery ones, you can get some really girly ones there. Good luck with your daughter.

Use allot of cute girlie clips and girlie clothes. Use a curling iron on her hair some times. Time will solve the problem. Good luck
