Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow – When Kids Want a New Look

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow – When Kids Want a New Look

Hold on to your hairbrushes, mamas! In this episode of Good Mom , Lindsay and Sunny dive headfirst (pun very much intended) into the wild, expressive, and occasionally traumatic world of kid hairstyles . ✂️💇‍♀️💇

What happens when your kid comes home asking for green hair, an undercut with designs, or something even wilder? Do you freak out 😬 or roll with it? 🤘

Here’s what you’ll hear in this episode:

  • 🎨 Sunny's semi-permanent pink/red experiment with her twins

  • 💡 Lindsay’s “don’t let it be you” advice after a traumatizing DIY haircut before 7th grade 🙈

  • 💁‍♀️ Why hair is the perfect creative outlet for kids (and grown-ups!)

  • 📸 Beauty school mannequins, ruined towels, and colorful family bonding

This episode is all about picking your battles 🥊 and remembering that hair grows back (thank goodness!). Whether it’s a bold new cut or a splash of rainbow 🌈, supporting your kid’s creativity can be a beautiful mess.

Pro Tips for Good Moms:

  • Be part of the process—don’t just say no, say “let’s try it together!” 👩‍👧‍👦🖌️

  • When in doubt, let the professionals handle the scissors ✂️🙅‍♀️
