By nature, children are creative and risky. They are not afraid of ridicule or care about what they will say. Lyra, six, was very clear about what she wanted. He asked his mother Mary Thomaston, a stylist, for a look too risky: I wanted to wear hair like a unicorn. His mother had doubts because he started first grade and did not want him to be a reason for mockery at school or to regret his decision a few days later.
But at the insistence of the girl he had no choice. He dyed her hair bright colors and shaved one of the sides of his head, as the girl wanted. The result is really impressive, and of course the criticism was not long in coming. What would you have done instead? Would you allow your daughter or your son to wear such a risky look?
"If they don't do it as children, then when"
That is what the mother believes, who argues that childhood is a stage of freedom in which to fulfill all possible dreams.
When you are an adult and wear multicolored hair, people say that these things are for children. So, it's a contradiction, says his mother.
And adds, "Why not let them have fun when they are children? Who knows what kind of work they can have in the future and if they can wear their hair like that if they want to. When you think that way, I think that childhood is really the perfect time to let them experience. "

"Why shouldn't you allow a young child a daring hair look? It won't be long until society's shackles force him to adapt, so it's the right time for this type of experimentation. It's better than children learn to be an individual as early as possible. "
"And honestly, wearing colored hair is the worst thing you can let a child do? If it makes you feel amazing and unique, what is the harm?"
Criticisms are always
It is what social networks have. That when sharing any photo of your private life, and more if it is something as daring as a unicorn look, people always have something to say.
There are those who praised the cut and hair color of the girl, as well as his bravery and personality for wearing it Even those who asked for similar looks for their children.
But on the other, there are those who strongly criticized the mother for allowing her to take a decision that a child should not make, but his parents. They also accused her of poison her with hair dyes, to which the mother replied that they are non-toxic and temporary.
What do you think? And I don't mean if you like the look or not. If it was your daughter or your son, would you let her wear her hair with a similar look?
