Today, my mom decided that my hair was too long and that she was going to cut it. I now look like a male extra from Xanadu. FML
ImTheAlpha tells us more.

I was sleeping on the couch (sitting up), and she came over with scissors and decided my hair needed to be 3 inches shorter than it was. Now my hair ends all bluntly at my shoulders and poofs out since my hair is naturally wavy. Before I had lovely natural beauty waves to the small of my back ;-;

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Why does she have control over your hair?

On the bright side, you don't have to worry about your hair getting in your way when you light a cigar.

I don't get the reference. Can someone explain?

Xanadu: Cheesy horrible 80s movie complete with roller skates, musical numbers, and sparkle noises

I still don't understand how this happened. Even if she snuck up on you, you can still pull away and turn to talk, or yell, at them. Just because she is your mother doesn't mean you have to keep owing to her will at your age.

That's terrible OP... Man, does your hair at least grow back fast? I know my hair takes forever to grow.

Thankfully, my hair does grow fairly quick. What most people would get in 6 months I can generally get in 4.

That is horrible, OP. I cannot imagine being that disrespectful of anyone, especially someone I love. Make the best of the day, and I would advise that you limit your contact in the future.

Personally, I'd be tempted to shave her head or give her horrible bangs or something like that as revenge. I mean, if she can decide yours is too long, maybe she's due a haircut too?

Man I would've given my mom hell. Doesn't matter that she's my mom. If anyone violated such a personal aspect of my appearance, they would NEVER hear the end of it. But, I mean, my hair is the #1 thing I love about my appearance, and it's 2ft long. My hair is really special to me lol

Oh man, I would have been enraged! Hell, I almost am on your behalf.

I'd be so incredibly pissed. Since no one's said it yet, I'll also mention that cutting someone's hair without their permission is illegal. I'm pretty sure you could sue her for battery if you were so inclined. Either way, I hope you had a serious talk with her about respect.

As a guy with long hair (just below my shoulder blades), I would destroy my mothers hair.

I was giving my in-laws a stern talk when they decided to cut my then four-year-olds hair (they cut the hair above the eyes really short, which looked awful). If someone would cut my long hair without my consent, I would go ballistic.

She sounds like my evil mother. Insanity.

If I were you, I'd take her money and get extensions

You actually watched that movie? Haircut might be fitting then :P

Take an actual final for an advanced English class or watch a cheesy 80s movie? Which one would you choose?

shave her head

Depending on your local laws, that is considered anything from assault to assault with a deadly weapon, if OP wished to go down that route. I would point out that she now owes you the money to get it fixed
