A mum let her five-year-old daughter cut her own hair - after finding her in the middle of chopping it off. Valerie Farlow, 37, was “shocked” when she checked on Lexicon, now eight, and found her using children’s scissors to hack off her hair.
The mum-of-two let Lexicon carry on chopping her locks as the “damage was done” but made sure her daughter was happy with the results after. A week later, she convinced Lexicon to have a hairdresser cut her locks into a pixie cut – after the pair browsed hairstyles together. Lexicon hasn’t cut her again since, but parents Valerie and Bryce, 37, a graphic designer, let their daughter style herself and experiment with make-up to “express herself”.
Valerie, a marketer, said: “I came downstairs to check on her and she had her head over a trash can cutting her hair. I already saw the damage was done.
