NO MULLETS WITHOUT IRONY!!!!

I think I need to bleach my eyes.   

Heatherama,Your hair is way too super cool!Mine is red and black right now,too,but it don't look as great as yours!

That's the best pic I have right now,sorry yall gotta look up my nose!Red and black are my favorite colors.Most of my clothes are red and black,too.And,that mullet guy is my brother!Just joking.I'm pretty sure I've met him in my hometown,though!Just joking again...

There's alot of people here with 'manic panic hair' and piercings and such,and that makes me smile. :)Used to the only time I saw that was at the Marilyn Manson forum!Alot of pet lovers are a little 'different',I've noticed!

so, why is it okay to make fun of, make assumptions and judgments about people for mullets and rat tails, but only narrow-minded jerks make judgments about those with mohawks and unusual hair coloring???

If we aren't supposed to judge people by their appearance, then assuming someone is a classless,ignorant hick because they have a mullet is just as rude and offensive and narrow-minded as assuming someone is an anti-social, druggie loser because of a green mohawk.

Can't have it both ways.

It's fine for people to assume the worst about mohawk-sporting kids and adults -- I'm just saying that a heck of a lot fewer people these days think badly about mohawks than mullets, so it's not a haircut I'd worry about giving the OP's kid.

Understandable.  But the question is whether that is because you really just like the look better?  Or is it because you make certain judgments about people based on the hairstyle and you wouldn't want your child to be judged the way you judge those with a mullet?

LOL --  PTSD due to a haircut in childhood.

However, I have to confess I had a similar experience.  I got the "Dorothy Hamill" cut when I was 8.  I guess I agreed to it, but I think I didn't really know what my mom was talking about or be able to envision how it would actually look.  And of course, it was never as fluffy as hers.  So, I looked like a boy basically.  And I distinctly remember one event where an older guy at some public place said something perfectly harmless, but it was clear that he thought I was a boy.  I was quite offended and told him off "Don't you see the earrings??  How could you think I was a boy because boys don't wear earrings".  Which was true when I was 8.

Alot of you will probally disagree with me,but I think it's ok to compromise with your kids on alot of things,except when it comes to their safety,health,and future wellbeing.Especially when they are older.

Everyone parents differently,though.There's no exact formula for raising kids the 'right' way(though I really wish there was,it would make things alot easier).It takes a whole lot for me to condemn someone's parenting style.I'm pretty laid back.

 all the mohawks here are awsome! fawx and full on.

It's good to see other people with the red and black hair obsession. I have dyed mine red and black more times than i can count, be it black with the  front died red (sorta like the white rouge stripe)  to black with red tips, streaks or chunks.   i also have dyed it the more traditional actual red hair colors and dyed the under layer black (which is my husbands favorite). right now my hair looks awful because i dyed it all black back in November and  and it still hasn't  faded out to the point it can be dyed over..  so i have awful roots...>.<

I did both things... I had one of those little "Romper Stomper" (I think they were called) battery powered trucks with the real glowing headlights roll over my head and get caught in my hair.

The more embarrassing one was when I was I think 19 and I got a round brush caught in my hair ... had to have my dad pull out the bristles with pliers!
 

My mother cut her sister's hair (when they were little) and cut her bangs OFF. Tried to replace them with woodcurls - needless to say that didn't go unnoticed.



And yes... I can crack up about mullets all I want to.  This doesn't mean that I feel others should sanctimoniously judge people by the mohawks or other do's they sport .    The three contemporary mullet-wearing individuals I know are two very nice older lady lesbians and a guy in his 40's who listens to 80's metal and tanned himself into a leather catcher's mitt --he started his mullet career back when Billy Ray Cyrus was propah.   I think it's a bad (yet Iconically Hilarious )  style but it doesn't make me form opinions about the people under those mudflaps.  And I'm sure there's a few who rock the mullet in fine style- (like David Bowie! )

My dad likes to tell the story of  I was a REALLY little kid I made an observation about dirty black feet of a young group of flower-children and my dad said, "Judging the book by the cover are we?"   And I answered kid-style, "Nope. Just judging the cover."

The stuff on the outside of the head isn't as interesting or important as what's INSIDE the head! 

I saw the whole 'remote controled car in the hair 'thing on America's Funniest Home Videos.I had no idea that so many people have tried it!They really need to put a warning on those things!

I have also had a round brush caught in my hair,resulting in a sucky haircut!Glad to see that it wasn't just me!

Heatherama,it really seems like me and you have alot in common!And,I love how you compared the whole parenting thing to hand sanitizer.That really made sence to me!
