Everyone has their own preference about the length, cut, and style of their hair.

What would you do if someone dictated you how long or short your hair should be?

This young lady talks about her stepmom being so obsessed with her hair and wanting her to grow it longer. She’s really annoyed by the stepmom’s comments.

Read the story below for the full details.

AITA For Cutting my hair against my stepmom’s wishes?

My stepmom (40F) married my dad (50M) when I (18) was 7.

For most of my childhood, I had long hair down to my back, and it was very thick.

I always got compliments on it, and I generally enjoyed maintaining it.

This young lady stopped growing her hair long.

A couple of years ago, when I was fourteen, I cut about a foot of it and donated it to charity.

Since then, I’ve not kept it very long.

I’ve shaved the sides, and my hair is still very full.

She’s tired of maintaining long hair, so she’s keeping it short.

It took a lot of work, about an hour, just to wash it all.

It’s even longer for it to air dry, and I had to brush it constantly.

So, I’m happy keeping it short.

But her stepmom wanted her to grow it longer.

My stepmom is always obsessed with my hair, and makes comments about how I shouldn’t shave even part of it.

That I need to grow it longer, etc.

She thinks it’s weird to have short hair because my masc-presenting partner has longer hair than I do. Even though she’s kept her hair above the shoulders since I’ve cut mine.

So, AITA?

It seems like how long she wants her hair should be entirely up to her.

Your hair is no one’s business but yours.
