Answer 1

tell him you don't want your hair cut,and save 20 bucks

Answer 2

Option 1, Cut your hair and shut up about the whole deal
Option 2, Throw a tantrum
Option 3, Tell him you don't want to cut your hair (Without throwing a tantrum) be calm about it and give him reasons why you don't want to cut your hair.
Option 4, Bribe him - tell him you will do your chores without him asking you to if you can keep your hair long or tell him he doesn't have to give you your allowance for the next 3 months if he let's you keep the hair.
Option 5 - Black mail - but you will have to find something good to black mail him with.
Option 6 - Come to a understanding whereby you cut your hair this time but once it grows back you can let it grow as long as you want!

That's all the ideas I have

Answer 3

Hold on to your hair!
Explain calmly to your dad that you respect the fact that he doesn't like how your hair looks, but that one day, you will be forced to conform and cut your hair in order to get a job or whatever. Right now, you have freedom to look the way you want to. It's normal for teens to experiment with how they look, and just because you like your hair long now, doesn't mean you'll like it that way forever. You are exploring who you are, and your appearance is a very significant part of that. Tell him that his opinion of you matters to you, and that you would like to feel that he supports you and is proud of you, no matter what your hairstyle. Finally, tell him that he'll have the last laugh in 15 years when you both look at photos of you and you say "What did i think I looked like?!" Even if it's not strictly true, it might win him round.

Answer 4

"Yes, sir."

That is the only reasonable answer until you move out. You should take advantage of his opinions and experience while you are able. Parents are a priceless resource for making good decisions. Its like having the ability gained through a whole other lifetime of experience at your fingertips.

This applies to everything, even wearing a goofy hairstyle b/c you think girls like it. Especially since you need to learn how to be a man and not let women run your life just b/c you want some.

Answer 5

It is a common problem all over the world as I think! You know, it seems easy but in fact it is not! You do not like to cut it off but your father wants you to do it and if you do, you should do whatever he wants and after your hair, you should change your jeans and…. . It always is in this way and starts from hair. If you do not do what he wants, you are not a good boy and if you do, you cannot be independent! I had much experience about this matter. I do not want to disappoint you but you are the only looser of this game! I personally prefer to do whatever if I will be the looser! I suggest you to try to talk to him and to remind him of himself when he was young like you but it probably will not work! It’s only benefit is to show that you want the problem be solved but he did not want and in this way, you can do whatever you like, because you tried to solve the problem but he did not let you! Be successful.

Answer 6

This question first caught my attention because I too have problems with my son not wanting his hair cut...but after reading the entire question & explanation....I think I know who this is!! My son gets so pissed everytime his hair gets so annoyingly shaggy to me and I make him get his hair cut...but I try to consider his feelings and the fact that it's his hair... I let it get to the point of being embarrased when we are in public together because I worry what other parents will think neglecting my sons needs...like a haircut . I think that all guys/kids/my son included..look bad when they let theirir grow out without checking on y

Answer 7

First of all, kepp your hair neat and tidy so he can't accuse you of it being shi**y.

Second of all, calmly ask him how he felt when his father told him to cut his hair and that he looked like ****?!

I am almost 100% sure this would have happened to him if he sis have long hair as you said.

He has obviously forgotten what it's like to be a teenager.
Subtly remind him if you can, and maybe he will let up on you.

Alternatively, you could tell him that you will be willing to cut your hair if he is willing to give up ___________ (something that he is really attached to and you know he wont give it up - is there anything he has or does that really annoys you?)

Answer 8

Dude, I think you're out of luck here. Maybe you don't have to cut it as short as he wants it, but if you were my son, I would expect you to do as I say. I'm sorry , but your age has you at a disadvantage. I'm the exact opposite with my boys. They keep almost shaving their heads, just so they don't have to comb it and because of helmets and such. They would look so nice with a little hair. Now one of my boys joined the Marines. He shaves his head. ;-( As far as your dad having long hair when he was young, this is a case as do as I say, not as I do (did). Sorry.

Answer 9

I personally am not for a boy having long hair, but I would rather see a boy looking like Krystal Gayle than a girl looking like Kojak.

Answer 10

That really depends on how old you are, if you're a kid and still with him then you can let him know in a calm way that you'd prefer not to cutt it and try to talk to him about it. If you're an adult then just don't do it. It's as simple as that!
