Hair cut blues..: Reassure your daughter her hair will grow back and to enjoy a different look for now. You may want to treat her to an appointment with a hair stylist who can show her little ways to wear her cropped hair to feel better. Beauty is from the inside. Help her feel good about her choice.

Agree w Dr. Foster: She may need to grieve the loss of long hair - which was part of her identity. I remember my mother cutting my hair to shoulder length after it had been waist lenght. It took me a long time to adjust.
