LanLan- So what if his hair looks “girly” to you? Obviously, Celine and her husband don’t care what you or I think about their son’s hair!

As for Maddox…It appears that he uses temporary hair dye that washes out (for example, he had blue-streaked hair in Knox and Viv’s first photoshoot, which was in August, but by early this month, it was gone. There’s no way anyone can get rid of hair dye that fast unless it’s the wash-out kind).

If that IS indeed the case, I really don’t see what the harm is. As for the knives, if you read Angie’s entire statement about that, she makes it clear that the knives are dulled so he can’t hurt himself AND that she and Brad always follow a knife purchase with a talk about the dangers of knives.

You know I think he’s really cute, little rockstar, I think he looks like you know one of those 70’s rocker types. Something out of Led Zeppelin, or Queen, bad Company, etc.

Sorry I have to disagree with other posters but his hair looks completely ridiculous. Its not just longish, its girl shoulder length. Of course if he’s much older and wanted his hair long, then he can do what he wants but he’s just SEVEN and his parents should step up and be firm about hair cutting. I just feel that it’s because he’s that much wanted only child he can get away with what he wants which is quite sad really.
This goes for other parents as well including Ang and Brad who let Madoox dye his hair and take him to gun/knive shops to buy knives (if you don’t believe me see the W magazine interview.)
IMO parents shouldn’t be scared about being laying down basic rules.

okay so people are saying because Celine and Rene respect their child and let him make this choice about his hair that he’s going to grow up and end up in jail?Please people he is seven and has asked that his parents not FORCE him to cut his hair,what the big deal?He likes it that way,he obviously as another reader pointed out keeps it groomed and doesn’t mind the up keep.

I commend Celine on respecting her sons wants and that whats right for her family may not be right for your or anyone else’s for that matter so just because she choose’s to let her son have long hair doesn’t mean that it would work for another family.Her son is a beautiful smart little boy and knows what he wants and for right now he wants his hair the way he wants it.

Maybe in the future he’ll decide he doesn’t want long hair and he’ll change it,if not that’s his choice and his parents will respect that.I wouldn’t force my child to cut their hair if they didn’t want to,do you want your child to grow up and resent you for forcing them to cut their hair?No.So just leave Celine alone and let her and Rene parent the way that fit’s THEIR child NOT YOUR’S and stop complaining that he’s going to be in juvie or jail because they give him the right to do whatever he wants.No they don’t they let him have say over HIS hair not YOUR or THEIR’S.

I can’t believe that letting a little boy have long hair is being compared to him having sex early, and doing drugs! How can those 2 Possibly be put together?! His hair is gorgeous, he obviously keeps it washed and groomed to an ‘acceptable’ level…lol I just can’t stop laughing at those comparisons…Lighten up people! If a girl wants to have long hair thats 1000000% fine; lets stop with the gender stereotypes and let little boys wear their hair to the length they want.

He has gorgeous hair quality. It’s obvious. I’m glad he’s allowed to make a few decisions regarding his own person.

He looks like a GIRL!!!!!
Hello!!!! doesn’t anyone see anything wrong with that??
What is wrong with his parents?

I understand people’s viewpoints about parents needing to set some boundaries around their child’s appearance – to me, it’s really about bringing your child up in a realistic way, within the parameters of what’s “normal” and socially acceptable, until they’re old enough to make informed and considered decisions about how they choose to present themselves physically to the world. Having said that, I can also respect Celine’s decision – given that her son has what’s obviously a very firm opinion on this – to let her son express his preferences and individuality in regard to his hair. Her comment about what’s right for her family may not be right for others, and vice versa, resonated with me – none of us are perfect and we shouldn’t judge others for their decisions.

What a great attitude, Celine! I wish more parents AND especially GRANDPARENTS would be more thoughtful and insightful like her.

Allowing “freedom of expression” & letting your kid do whatever they want are TWO totally DIFFERENT things!

2 of my friends let their boys grow their hair long & wear it how they want to. At the same time they discipline their kids & they most definitely don’t do what they want to. They just don’t feel their kids choice of hairstyles is a big enough deal to fight over. Their only rule was the boys had to %100 responsibility for washing & grooming their own hair. Funny thing is they both got sick of all the work it took & go buzzcuts to start this school year.
