How old were you when your mother stopped brushing your hair?
I am almost 17 and my mother still brushes my hair,in the morning and before going to bed.

Do you find it cute? I would find it invasive.

Re: How old were you when your mother stopped brushing your hair?
I was 9 - my mom was in an accident and while she was in the hospital I taught myself pretty quickly.
Re: How old were you when your mother stopped brushing your hair?
I would have said "me do!" about it by age 4. I can and have asked for help on special occasions a lot of times since then, but for the most part my hair was mine as soon as I was able to say I wanted to be in charge. Most of the limits I had came from y'know... reality. A 10 year old who can't knit and can barely write legibly just isn't going to have the fine motor control for complex hairstyles, dyeing her own hair, or using a curling iron. But brushes and combs I could manage, no problem.
If mom were better with styling hair, I probably would have done better. She can't braid very well or do most updos, and even stuff like pincurl sets (which she did a lot of as a teen) are hard for her.
But she encouraged me to care, and encouraged me to wear my hair in ways that made me happy. More importantly, when I got cuts and had cutting remorse after, she reminded me that the only way to get back to the style I liked was to... not cut!
Re: How old were you when your mother stopped brushing your hair?
I guess it depends if it is a daughter mother bonding time or if she just wants to make sure you "do it right." One I think is sweet the other could be considered invasive.
I always quite liked it when my mom would mess around with my hair, braiding or whatnot. I don't really remember how old I was when she stopped.
I admit, I still take over on the hair brushing front sometimes when we are in a real hurry. But only from my daughter with Cerebral Palsy. That child (14) has one speed and it is called slow. If she forgets to brush her hair and we are rushing out the door to get somewhere I will definitely grab the tangle teezer and give her a few quick brushes just so we aren't late. Then she hears about how she needs to be more responsible and brush her hair without me telling her to when she wakes up. Grrr.
Okay, sorry, grouchiness is over. Just wish these kids would be proactive sometimes.

About 10, and only that late because my hair was always a bit wild and tangly. My sister's was easier, so she stopped earlier.
Re: How old were you when your mother stopped brushing your hair?
I don't remember, but I didn't have long hair until I was old enough to take care of it myself, I think I started growing it long when I was 7 or 8.
