A mother on Reddit is asking AITA for refusing to help her daughter after she took matters into her own hands and cut her own hair. The daughter had been wanting bangs but the mother, after consulting with a hairdresser, said no because her daughter's hair is too thin. The daughter then cut her own hair in the bathroom and now the mother refuses to fix it, saying that it's her daughter's fault for not listening. The father thinks the mother is being cold and unsympathetic while the mother believes her daughter knew what she was doing and should live with the consequences. The family is now at a stalemate. What do you think? Is the mother being too harsh or is the daughter responsible for her own actions? Click to read the full story and weigh in!

A mother's refusal to allow her daughter to get bangs resulted in the daughter taking matters into her own hands. Despite the mother's warning that the bangs would not look good on her daughter's thin hair, the daughter attempted to cut her own hair using meat scissors after watching a TikTok video. The results were disastrous, leaving the daughter with uneven and too-short bangs. The mother's refusal to fix the hair has caused a rift in the family, with the husband accusing her of being unsympathetic. However, the mother maintains that the daughter knew what she was doing was wrong and must live with the consequences. The daughter is now mortified and does not want to go out in public. Read on to see what others think about the situation and whether the mother is the A-hole in this situation.
