A Little Too Much
Christin was getting support from every corner of the world. It was way more than she had expected ever. Furthermore, people living thousands of miles away from them were voicing their support for Kelsey and Christin. Many people called it “disgusting” and “ridiculous.” One of the supporters commented, “What a cruel thing for a parent to do to their child. So sorry that happened…beautiful no matter what!”
Middle School Woes
Kelsey was still very embarrassed. She did not want to go to school. She doubted everyone in the school would make fun of her hair. Especially, after the post went viral. Now everyone knew about her. Everyone forgot about it after a while. Her father and his family got back to their old routine, her brothers were back to school but Kelsey was still stuck there. No matter how much tried, she could not forget the incident that pricked her heart every now and then.
Speculations
Whereas some people considered Schaffen an impulsive and controlling father, there were some who alluded to different possibilities. One of the commenters explained, “I think the daughter was unfortunately in the middle of a get back at you between both parents fighting.” Could it be true? Did Christin do it purposely?
Confidence
Jennifer McVay, Pear Tree Salon hair stylist said, “Your hair is what really makes you feel good. If your hair looks good, you feel good. She had beautiful long hair, that beautiful little girl is now walking around embarrassed”. She added, “Another person, aside from the father, is at fault. The one holding the scissors. But, back to the father, why would they want to humiliate their daughter that way? That was crossing a fine line”.
A Fine Line
It would be logical to say that people had different opinions on the matter. Some admitted that they too would get angry if their daughter would go for a makeover without telling them. But there was no way a parent would behave so irrationally. Some said that the decision of dying hair at such a young age was bad. Some opined that dying of hair was not a big deal as it was temporary. What infuriated everyone the most was the reaction of the father.
Sympathy From Strangers
Kelsey too received lots of heartwarming messages. Some even shared ways by which she could make her hair look good. Many people told her that they were standing with her. As the incident had reached many hearts, Cristine decided to do something about it. She decided to raise fund through GoFundMe. She requested readers to donate some fund so that Kelsey could have a new hair treatment. However, it was just a shot. She did not know if that would work.
