Parenting is one of the most challenging jobs in the world, especially when you're a single parent. Parents don't always get it right; in fact, most of the time, they screw up. But the sign of a good parent is one who can admit their mistakes and apologize to their kids when they get it wrong. One dad posted on Reddit, wanting to know how badly he had f*cked up when he cut his daughter's hair. He explained that he is a single parent and struggles to maintain his seven-year-old daughter's hair, which she refuses to take any responsibility for herself. After many discussions with her, he finally cut her hair, which she found very distressing. His mother and sister told him that it was the wrong move, but he is unsure. Redditors gave mixed responses, with many telling him that his reasoning was fair, but the way he carried it out wasn't OK. Below is his account; scroll through and tell us what you think. Is this bad parenting, or were his actions justified?

For decades, women have been dying their gray hair as they get older, ashamed of the natural signs of aging. The high beauty standards of the Western world mean that unfortunately, aging gracefully isn't a thing anymore and women are spending hundreds of dollars a month to color their gray roots. But one hairdresser is trying to change that; Jack Martin, from California, is helping women to embrace their gray locks, and the results are stunning. Check out some of his amazing work below.
Summer is here, which means tan lines, vacations, and rooftop bars. But, the impending heatwaves also mean "epic proportions of boob sweat, chafed thighs and swamp ass," so you know, pros and cons. If you're more of a winter gal and you're dreading the impending heat, these memes are for you. Just give it another four months, and you'll be back in your winter furs. Until then, embrace the AC because it's not going anywhere yet.
We get it; bad hair days exist. But there are bad hair days and BAD. HAIR. DAYS and sometimes the worst hair days deserve shaming. Whoever styled these people's hair deserves to have their hairdresser's license taken away from them for whatever makes them officially qualified to create these monstrosities because no one deserves to look like this. No one at all. Welcome to the hall of shame for the hairstyles that deserve a special place in hell.
Facial hair takes a lot to maintain (so we've heard), so why anyone would want to take on more than was necessary, we have no idea. These men have decided that double mustaches are the way to go when it comes to making a fashion statement, so who are we to stand in their way? Instead, we'll sit here silently judging them, secretly glad that they are getting a taste of what women go through daily regarding difficult beauty maintenance.
Some beauty trends resurface over time, like thick eyebrows, chockers, and corduroy—which you can only pull off if you live in an expensive loft. These trends deserve the rebirths they get because they're cool, and they (usually) look good. But some styles from years gone by were so bad that they stayed there and thankfully never came back, like these long hairstyles from men in the 1970s. Back in the day, these men would be considered hot. But when we look at them now, all we see are a bunch of shaggy sheepdogs who need to lose their body weight in hair. It's a no from us.
We've bought you the mugshots with eyebrows so bad that the eyebrows deserved their own mugshots. And now, we bring you mugshots with hairstyles so awful that the only crimes being committed here are the hairstyles themselves. Neglecting your self-image, beauty needs, and your appearance is a crime, too, you know.
Weddings are stressful to plan; you want everything to be perfect for your special day. After all, you (hopefully) only have one wedding and you want to get it right! But sometimes the stress can get the better of the bride-to-be which can make them a little, or very unreasonable. One bride who insisted one of her guests cover up her tattoos and dye her hair (at a great expense) because her look "clashed" with the aesthetic of the wedding has been shamed in a bridezilla-shaming Facebook group by the guest. Check out her unreasonable request below, as well as how Facebook users jumped to the guest's defense.
You've heard of the notorious catfish on social media and dating apps, but what about men who hatfish? For those of you who haven't heard of the term, let me enlighten you. Urban Dictionary defines hat fishing as a practice in which a man purposely deceives a potential romantic partner by wearing a hat to hide his rapidly receding hairline or completely bald head. It's like the male version of women being accused of wearing too much makeup in order to hide how they really look. The women of Twitter have recently become very wary of men practice this kind of dirty deception, and have taken to the platform to call them out. Scroll down for the best 'hatfishing' tweets this week.
Going to the hairdresser is a nerve-wracking experience. You'll either leave satisfied with your new 'do, or filled with internal tears because you don't want the hairdresser to know how massively they f*cked up. From my experience, it's generally the latter. The Internet has had its fair share of crazy haircuts, and it's seriously hard to tell if the hairdresser screwed up, or if the customer actually asked to look like this. I mean, to each his own. No judgments, but also we're totally judging. Take a look at the monstrosities below.
Dry shampoo has to be one of the best inventions of the 21st century. As an avid user of this miracle in a can, it has saved me many a hair wash on days where I didn't have the energy to be hygienic. Sometimes, it becomes an Olympic sport; how long can I get away with using dry shampoo before people start wondering if I'm homeless? If you, too, are a fan of dry shampoo and its miraculous ability to buy you another day without washing your hair, giving you insane volume at the same time, then you'll love these memes just as much as I did.
It takes a specific type of man to pull off long hair. And that man is usually a good looking celebrity. Any other man who tries this phase will most likely look... how do I put this nicely? Homeless? Like they've totally given up? You get the gist. These male celebs not only pull off having long hair but they kind of rock it. Why is it that when men grow their hair long, they step out of the shower with shiny, luscious locks, and when I grow my hair, I look like I've been dragged through a bush backward? What do you think of these long-haired heartthrobs?
While most little girls grew up with Barbie dolls to play with, not all girls grew up with the 'Shave and Play Borbie' doll, now available on Etsy. And probably for several good reasons: primarily, the fact that it comes with a real razor blade, but also because it's creepy AF!
So what is this incredibly creepy doll? In the seller's own words, "You've played with regular Barbie, but this is Shave & Play Borbie...and she is unlike any other doll you've played with! She is FURRY and ready for a trim! Whip out the razor (included) and give her a style all her own! Borbie will love her new, silky smooth, hair-free self!"
Ummmm ok then! The Shave and Play Borbie (presumably named as such, so Mattel doesn't sue them) might be a gag gift, but it's weird as hell. Hey, whatever floats your boat!
We've already bought you the trend that saw people jazzing up their armpit hair with glitter. But, if you're anything like me, then the thought of getting glitter anywhere near your body stresses you out, because, let's face it, glitter lingers for literally months. So if that's you, then you might be drawn to this less messy version — the beauty trend (or blunder, in my eyes) that has people dying their armpit hair bright colors. For what reason? I couldn't tell you. But they're doing it, and they're documenting the process. What do you think? Beauty blunder, or not?
We love showcasing talented hairstylists who have perfected their skill to incredible levels. We've bought you mesmerizing holographic hair designs and breathtaking rainbow patterns, all of which are beautiful. Our latest one is equally impressive and comes in the form of 'crochet- style' hair art, by 17-year-old self-taught German stylist, Milena. The designs don't even look like they're made of hair, but rope instead. Each creation must take hours and demonstrate Milena's unbelievable talent. Scroll through and be amazed.
We're back with this week's ridiculous beauty blunder, and it comes in the form of mullets. Yes, that's right, possibly one of the word's most divisive hairstyles and one that you thought died with the '80s. It may come as a shock to learn mullets are still very much alive today and is actually celebrated at an annual festival called Mulletfest. Taking place in Kurri Kurri, Australia, it is, according to the official website, "an event that honors the best Mullet cuts in various styles and categories, including 'everyday', 'grubby', 'ranga' (red hair), 'vintage', 'extreme', 'international' and 'junior'".
You're probably like me and had no idea that so many mullet options existed. You learn something new every day. Photographer Craig Gibson from the UK attended the Mulletfest 2020 to document all of the best, aka worst contestants of this horrific hairstyle. Here they are for you to peruse.
