Little girls are just very young women, thus despite their tender age, beauty issues can't be alien to them. Little princesses take a keen interest in their mother's wardrobes and makeup organizers from an early age, attempting to mimic whatever they see. Younger women's hairstyles provide a lot of room for experimentation.
Many mothers disapprove of children's haircuts that are excessively tight and braided. They don't want to turn their children into dolls with overdone makeup and pretentious hairstyles like they occasionally saw online. They want their girls' hair to be neat since they understand that long hair at school can't be messy.
