My mother...
Although I did give myself my 1st haircut at age 4!

My mom did my hair when I was younger.

My mom, although I have a very special memory of the time my dad tried to learn how to french braid my hair for a gymnastics meet when Mom was out of town. The braids were a disaster, but I was (and still am) so touched at the effort that he made!

my parent's took the easy route and just gave me a boycut until i was old enough to do my own hair. LOTS of teasing was involved

my mommy!

My mom I guess, since she'd braid my hair for school. My dad was actually the most gentle one with my hair (frizzy and curly, in the pre-conditioner days!) - he never minded spending an hour gently removing knots from my hair, while my mom could lose patience after 10 mins. As for my older sister, any hairdo she tried on me was painfully TIGHT. She can't stand friz (she has straight hair) and did everything she could to get rid of any straight hair around my face ouch!

Ah, this brings back (bad) memories. When I was a kid, I had huge quantities of black, curly/wavy/mostly bushy hair, which my mother used to cut into a Oprah Winfrey style WITH TEXTILE SCISSORS. And when I ended up looking like Simba-ran-through-a-bush-backwards, she'd tell me I looked like Quasimodo and cut it like that again. Hellish times.

My mom did my hair for school until I was about in 3rd grade, then I did it myself. My dad has yet to ever go remotely near my hair, although he probably would've done a nice job with braids and stuff when I was little. My mom always gave me super-tight french braids with ribbons for school, or braided pigtails...I got teased SO much that I started taking them out on the bus in the morning. It didn't help that she also liked to put me in precious little teatime dresses with lace collars. I looked like a porcelain doll, but it was 1990, not 1890. I started dressing myself in 3rd grade and doing my own hair. Mom still complains (all the time) that I don't "do anything" with my long, straight, shiny hair. Wah-wah.

My mom used to always want to do my hair. (Even though she wasn't the best at it.) I used to have to stand up in front of the bathroom mirror until I felt dizzy for up to an hour in the mornings... (Which is a lot for a kid...) ^^;;;
As a kid, I wanted to wear my hair down, because none of the girls in my class wore their hair up. ^^;;;
I remember one day I had taken out my hair at school, and she got so mad at me... T-T I never did it again after that... ^^;;

I don't think my mum ever did my hair. She was sick so she was too tired.

Great grandmother...pink sponge rollers!

My mom did my hair until I was in middle school. I had the same hair style all those years: a half-ponytail. I always had horribly knotted hair when I was a kid, so I had trouble doing it myself.

My mom was (and still is) the best at tackling my hair. I actually had her french braid it for Thanksgiving this year!

i did my own hair! i'm a dancer, and have been since 1st grade. i had to wear my hair in ballerina buns for every dance class, and my mom's always fell out so i figured out how to do it myself. this was the same for makeup, i was a musical theater kid and my mom didn't wear makeup so i have been a master with a mascara wand since the tender age of 8.

*but i'm not saying i wore makeup since i was 8, i only did for performances.

My mom for sure, but I can definitely relate to the super tight braids from my dad!

my nanny

I think my mum did. Always a ponytail for school. Dad did do the super tight ones.

my mom did my hair until i reached 4th grade, then my cousins did it for me until my first year of jr high...yikes i didn't know how to do my own hair for a while...

my mom! i'm a child of the 80s so big bows were in! i'd make my mom do all sorts of complicated things with big ribbons and/or bows. remember those massive shoelace clips? ha, i was sooooo stylish

my grandma and my cousins

My dad used to curl my hair every day for school until about 4th grade when I was allowed to do it myself. It's one of my favorite memories of him.

I love that some of your dads tried to style you! how sweet! My dad didn't even know what a curling iron did, teehee. My mom did it because she had to of course, but my sister and big girl cousins would braid my hair just for fun (my scalp is still in pain).

Some of my best memories are of my Mom doing my hair. Loved it! I do my daughters' hair now. My husband will do our daughters' hair too, which I think is the cutest thing ever! Nobody does a ponytail like my husband!

My Grandma braided my hair evvvvery morning It was the best!

Two things
1) the results to the question gives credence to the theory that women try to relive their childhood through their daughters by doing stuff for them (like styling the hair).

2) My mom styled my hair everryyy day with two ponytails so much so that when I cut my hair short once as an adult I had a permanent part in the middle of my head...geesh...

When my mom started to work again when I was little, my dad would put my hair in pony tails of any sort.

Other than that...my mom did my hair when I was little, but I quickly did it because she always pulled!!

My mom though as i grew i started to as well.

My mom curled my hair for me. I never really did much with my hair growing up though.

I do fondly remember sitting in my dad's lap and having him cut and file my nails

my mom's not really a hair person. so i went to a neighbor who was also a beautician like once a week for a style. now my sister's a beautician so i just go to her, it's soooo much cheaper than going to someone else and she's really good at doing hair.

My mom. She was a fan of two pigtails (class photos are proof). As they may have seemed embarrassing when I was little, but I loved those little pigtails Just the other day she was able to make a tight pony braid with just one hair tie for me and I, just like when I was kid, was amazed by her mom super powers

My granny always did my hair. She's a beautician so my family and I always just went to her for everything rather than try to go somewhere we have to pay! We've lived by her since I was 7, before that no one did my hair unless I was visiting my granny. My mother hasn't ever done anything with her hair since she met my step dad. 18 years later, my granny is still cutting and dying my hair. I did however, start curling, straightening, braiding, ect. my own hair when I started 6th grade.

My Mom.

My mom until i was old enough to take care of it, i think about first grade. Granted my hair was past my butt, and my sisters went down to her knees, so my mom would braid our hair in french braids, fish tail braids, anything to keep our hair out of the way and to keep us from ruining it.

My mom did but she couldn't do much with hair. I had pigtails or a ponytail only. If she felt "creative" I had both styles at once! Yeah three pigtails.

I remember doing my hair a lot. I was actually pretty good at it. Before that it was my Mom.

My mother put my hair in a ponytail every day until I started doing my hair myself. My hair was curly and crazy though because I didn't stay using hair driers until high school so it always looked a mess. My only memory of my dad doing my hair was when he gave me a bath when I was little and then dried my hair by rubbing it in a towel like he does to his own hair. Then my mother saw him doing that and screamed at him that he was going to turn my hair into felt. Good times.
