Do not cut it. I did the same thing to my hair and I was with my both parents. So your mom is not the blame. Just comb it the best you can it will fill in time. ok The good thing about it...., is, she is ok she, did not hurt her self. It is hair it will grow back
Great progress.... Ok stretching for me is difficult. Do you braid your hair while it is wet? Last week was my first blow out and flat iron but I think that may be too much heat. My stylist says its ok it will help me stretch longer.
