I'm surprised her hair wasn't the "hotness." It's very reflective of the trend in magazines, entertainment--very "rock star." You did a great job, and your correction that she is 13 explains it all! They are crazy at that age. I don't know anyone who has raised a 13 y.o. who disagrees with me on this. Plus, at that age, they are comparing themselves to their peers. Whatever the norm is, that's what they want. Sad ponies, edgeless wonders, where I live, the teens and tweens have a tough row to hoe on the hair front. Apparently mommies are not as conscientious as you. She looks fly.
