Ask Amy: My child's hair was cut, and she says she didn't do it. Should I be worried?
Briefly

Congratulations - you have just passed a near universal rite of passage for parents of 4-year-olds. Children this age seem compelled to cut their hair. And most of them lie about it. This is not self-harming. This is beautifying. And curiosity. And a growing awareness of how scissors work.
Stay calm and good-humored. Tell your daughter that hair takes a long time to grow and now that it is cut, she will have to be patient while it grows back. Scissors are very sharp, and she needs to ask you if she wants to use them. Take her to a salon to have a professional even things out.
