How do you convince my mom to let me straighten my hair?

Answer 1

First of all if you at younger than the age of 12 you don't need to straighten your hair. But if you are older than twelve than that's the age that you should be able to start straightening you hair. Being a tween/ a young teen has a lot of pressure involved. You start to question your looks and feel you need beauty products to feel pretty. If you are like 15 or older than you should really be allowed to straighten your hair.

Try asking if you can experiment with the straightener. Ask her to experiment a few times then maybe she will see that you are handling the product properly and that no harm is being done. After that try casually asking. If she says no don't take an attitude with her just calmly ask why. If she is worried about you burning your hair or damaging tell her that you will use flat iron heat protectant spray. She may then realize that you want to take this responsibly. Also try thinking about all the reasons you want to straighten your hair before the conversation. Don't just say to be pretty because you know parents they will just say that your beautiful anyways. Make your reasons realistic and believable. If she is on bored but still doesn't like the idea of you straightening your hair ask her to teach you how to properly do it. I hope I helped and good luck.;)
