When it comes to kids, it’s safe to say that they have a clear sense of style, even at a young age. It’s completely natural for them to want to experiment with their clothes and hair. While some parents have strict rules when it comes to their kids’ style, others let their kids lead the way.
Pink and her husband, Carey Hart, are parents to an eight-year-old daughter named Willow and a two-year-old son named Jameson.
When it comes to parenting, Pink and Carey are focused on their children expressing their individuality and having tons of new experiences.
Sometimes this parenting philosophy invites the parent-shamers to comment.
When Carey has shared photos of his kids riding on motocross bikes with him in the past, people have criticized him for being unsafe.
One issue that seems to always set off the parent-shamers are kids’ hairstyles and fashion trends.
For whatever reason, people have really strong opinions about this issue, when really, it’s up to the kids and their parents to decide what they want to wear and how they want to look.
You may recall that Jessica Simpson got major heat for letting her seven-year-old daughter dye her hair purple.
Jessica’s Instagram was full of comments from people saying her daughter was too young to dye to her hair.
As a show of solidarity for Jessica, Pink dyed Willow’s hair blue.
“I heard people were bummed on Jessica Simpson for letting her seven year old get her hair colored. So we thought we’d share what we did yesterday,” Pink said on Instagram.
Now Willow is making headlines again with her new “punk rock” look.
Carey shared these photos of Willow’s new ‘do which includes a shaved section.
Anticipating some negative comments, Carey included a message reminding everyone to respect and celebrate people’s individuality in his post.
“Remember everyone, fly your own flag. There is no box to be put in. Its better to be your own self. Own it, and love it. And if anyone has a problem with it, tell them (politely) to move on,” he said in the caption.
Online, people have been loving Carey’s post and Willow’s hair.
People applauded Carey for supporting his daughter and helping her find her own sense of style and confidence.
People couldn’t help but make comparisons to Pink.
Pink has rocked every hairstyle out there, so it’s natural that we can see Willow channeling her mom with this new look.
Commenters seemed to really take Carey’s message to heart.
Overall, people were inspired by his love for his daughter and for supporting her. Even though a haircut can seem insignificant, Pink and Carey turned this into a milestone of independence for Willow.
