It has never been cut. She can make that call for herself when she is older.
When I was 5-10, my dad would cut our hair. Once when I was 6-ish, I got impatient (he was still out milking the cows) so I cut my own bangs. Of course it was a fiasco. Too bad there are no photos.
P-C, much ma.
My mom would never dare try to cut our hair herself. Hair was left to the professionals.
We put Lillian's hair in two braids, which has made a huge difference in how much effort it takes to keep it long.
I loved braids. My father made me cut my hair when he decided I was "too old" for long hair. The next year, long hair became the thing. I don't know that I could have put up with the whole ironing your hair straight thing, though. I've really never been very happy with my hair since I've been in charge of it, except possibly for that year of the lovely soft chemo curl.
PC, ~ma to your grandfather- my grandmother had some similar problems and she is still alive and kicking! Hopefully it will all get resolved for you guys too.

My older brother apparently got tired of being made fun of or something, so after much begging on his part, my dad gave in and let us get our hair cut by barbers.

I'm the opposite: I think the last and one of the only times I've been to a hair salon is when I was 13, with my mom.
I let my mom cut the edges every now and then. It works great.
I guess I usually thought of straight hair as tangling less easily because it doesn't seem to stay in place as much as curly hair does. Both of my best friends as a kid has straight shiny hair. If one of them braided their hair and didn't put an elastic at the bottom, then it would come unbraided after they just shook their heads a few times. My hair would stay braided, and unless I undid the braid before I went to bed, the braid would turn into a tangle.
Much ~ma to all the Buffistas in need today.
My mom used the 1/4 inch attachment on the razor for my brothers until they were in their teens. She cut my hair until I was around five. I'm not sure why she quit, maybe because she went back to work fulltime and just didn't want to take the time. That, and getting a pixie cut at the local salon cost all of 50 cents. Kinda mind-boggling when you think how much we pay today.
