Why do junior high school girls love catfish beard hairstyles Ophthalmologists: Long bangs may cause eye fatigue

The uniform hairstyle of middle school girls has a new name on the Internet these days, and it is called "catfish whiskers".

The reason is a video shared by a middle school teacher, who posted a video of the students in the class, in which everyone is wearing a wide school uniform lying on the table doing exercises, but the girls almost without exception hang two locks of hair from the top of their foreheads, covering half of their faces.

The "catfish whisker" hairstyle brushed by the girls has aroused heated discussions among netizens, and has also triggered the youth memories of a group of people: in middle school, girls will reach an amazing consensus on the aesthetics of hair, with oblique bangs in the 80s, Qi bangs in the 90s, air bangs in the 00s, and now "catfish whiskers" in the 10s...... No matter what age of middle school students, they have been dominated by a hairstyle.

Thick bangs can cover the excessively high forehead and acne of adolescence, and the figure-of-eight bangs can modify the face shape that is not "perfect", and behind the highly unified hairstyle of children, are there different aesthetics of different eras?

Behind the "catfish whisker", what kind of cross-generational education crisis is being carried out by children, parents, and teachers?

Because of the bangs

Mom and daughter always quarrel

"The youth of the teenagers is invincible, how beautiful and refreshing it is to tie a ponytail! Even if you tie a ponytail, you must leave two 'catfish whiskers'. Ms. He is the mother of a first-year junior high school girl, and she has quarreled with her daughter many times in the past year because of hairstyle problems.

Ms. Ho remembers that her daughter's change began in the second semester of sixth grade. During that time, my daughter often discussed clothes and hairstyles with a few good friends, and she also loved to search for videos of dressing up on Xiaohongshu. "She has always had a ponytail hairstyle without bangs, and later she was very dissatisfied and cut her hair with 'figure-eight bangs'. She said that she had a big face and wanted to 'reshape her face'. When I was doing my homework, the 'catfish whiskers' next to my face hung up, and I looked at it and 'poked' it to death, and I couldn't wait to clip it to her!"

Ms. He's daughter's primary and junior high school have requirements for hairstyles, and girls can't wear their hair, but they don't have specific requirements for bangs. I bought her all kinds of hairpins, trying to convince her to use them, so that she could get fresh hair, and every time she didn't say a few words, she would jump around. ”

The parent, Ms. Wang's family, also has a daughter of "catfish beard hairstyle" of "the same style".

"It may be that 'catfish whiskers' have grown on the aesthetic point of post-10s girls. Many of her classmates have 'catfish whiskers'. Ms. Wang told reporters that her daughter's junior high school has high requirements for hairstyles, and girls can't wear hair or bangs, so when she usually goes to school, her daughter is tied in a ponytail, and then the simplest black hairpin clips the "catfish whiskers" on it. But every night when she comes home from self-study, her daughter will quickly remove the hairpin and let the "catfish whiskers" hang up.

"A set of movements is smooth, and I am still chattering, the hairpin is too tight, and it is going to be 'bald'. Really laughed to death. Ms. Wang said that she was born in the 80s, and when she was a child, she studied in a junior high school with strict management in the town, and she had the same short hair as boys in junior high school and high school. At that time, we girls were either full bangs and children's flower heads, or very short 'boy heads'. At that time, I also loved to dress up and longed for beautiful long hair, so I also understood my daughter's 'obsession' with hairstyles. ”

"We weren't the same at the beginning, and everyone had a love for beauty. Ms. Wang said that perhaps she was drenched in the rain when she was a child, and she also wanted to hold an umbrella for the next generation when she grew up, "As long as it meets the school regulations, I don't have too many requirements for my daughter." At home on vacation, she likes to wear her hair and blow bangs, which I think is harmless. During the winter break, she wanted to try curling her hair, so I used a curling iron to curl her once. ”

Another post-85 mother is also more tolerant, she said that she also permed "tin foil perm" and "swallowtail head" when she was young, and she also thought those hairstyles were super good-looking. "Now parents are no longer good at engaging in 'Yiyantang', and they know how to respect their children's ideas, personalities and preferences. Every age group has its own rebellion, and overcorrection is not good for growth. Therefore, no matter how unpleasant it looks at, I often choose to respect my daughter. Besides, for junior high school students, mere preaching is no longer useful, but will stimulate the rebellious psychology of adolescence. ”

Probe

Why is "catfish whiskers" so popular among junior high school girls?

"Lift my bangs? ”

"If you lift the bangs, the bangs are not ordinary hair, they are 'ugly artifacts'. ”

Looking at the hairstyle tutorials on social platforms, it is generally taught to decide what bangs to want according to the face shape and temperament. For example, a long face is suitable for air bangs, and high cheekbones are suitable for French bangs...... But in middle school, girls are surprisingly unanimous in their hair aesthetics.

Heavy bangs, many celebrities wore this hairstyle in their "school flower photos" back then, such as Zhao Lusi and Chen Duling. When the post-00s went to middle school, air bangs were popular, and they were a common hairstyle in various youth dramas back then. And now, not only the red carpet looks of female stars, but even the heroines of Xianxia dramas often walk the world with two locks of bangs. And Gu Ailing, who was born in 2003, is also a girl who loves "catfish whiskers" bangs. Pick out a lock from each side of the forehead, the amount of hair is about half the thickness of a little finger, and the length varies from the cheekbone to the angle of the jaw.

There are thousands of hairstyles, why is the "catfish head" hairstyle the most popular among junior high school students?

For this hairstyle, post-10 students have their own ideas, every time parents or teachers ask them to cut off the "catfish whiskers", they will be refused, they feel that there is a generation gap with parents and teachers, and there are thousands of reasons listed:

The "catfish head" hairstyle saves time and effort. After entering junior high school, the study time is relatively tight, such a hairstyle can be completed without a comb, it is easier to tie it up, and the time saved can also memorize words or something;

A high ponytail does make people look energetic, but the hair needs to be tied very tightly to have an effect, which is really a headache for the scalp. This hairstyle is relatively loose, the scalp is relaxed, does not hurt the hair, and protects the hairline in advance;

It is a hairstyle that does not pick the shape of the face, which can cover the forehead, or cheekbones, and modify the face shape to make the face look smaller;

The hair curtain can cover the eyes, cover the unbearable pimples, make people feel more secure, and doze off in class will not be detected;

Under the influence of the atmosphere of "everyone is doing this", if you don't keep this hairstyle, you will look out of place or ostracized, so you follow the trend and keep this hairstyle......

Psychologists believe that adolescence is an important stage of individual psychological development, and adolescent children are eager to show themselves and pursue individuality at this stage. As an important part of personal image, clothing and hairstyle are important ways for junior high school students to express themselves and show their personality. Girls in junior high school are at an age when they are highly sensitive, curious and exploratory, and they are more susceptible to social media and online trends.

It can be seen that the so-called "uniform hairstyle for middle school girls" does not come out of thin air, but is an imitation of a certain fashion fashion by adolescent girls. It's just that middle school students have no conditions and no energy to make their bangs become "the same style as the star", and with the passage of time, the fluffy bangs will gradually collapse, and under the combined action of gravity, sweat and oil, they will eventually become the "catfish whiskers" that parents can't understand.

Instead of resisting

It's better to guide subtly

In fact, in the middle school environment, the schools and teachers who can allow the existence of "catfish whiskers" are already considered to be the ones who are easy to talk to, after all, the hairstyle must "meet the requirements of the school".

The reporter learned in the interview that most schools have requirements for students' hairstyles, such as boys do not have long hair, girls do not wear hair, and the specific requirements of different schools will be different. "The school has rules on students' hairstyles, mainly because they want children to pay attention to their appearance and appearance, and the overall neatness and freshness. Girl bangs should not be too long, mainly because of the need not to block the view. A junior high school homeroom teacher said.

"The children understand and follow the hairstyle rules. Boys' hair is three or four centimeters long, and girls are not allowed to have catfish whiskers. A post-90s teacher said that adolescent children love beauty, and she also understands it very well, "I also came like this when I was a child, and I also hope that children can grow up freely within a certain range." ”

When parents and children quarrel over "catfish whiskers", what should they pay more attention to?

A senior psychology teacher in junior high school said that both children and parents will be affected by different cultures, fashion trends and personal preferences in their aesthetic concepts of hairstyles and clothing. Children fall in love with having "catfish whiskers" bangs, probably because they feel that this is more in line with their own aesthetics and personality, while parents may value neatness and traditional aesthetics more.

"From the perspective of a psychology teacher, I suggest that my mother first recall her feelings of wanting to pursue beauty during her adolescence. It is necessary to maintain an open and respectful attitude and understand the psychological needs of children in pursuit of fashion and individuality. You can also communicate openly and equally with your child to hear her thoughts and feelings and understand why she likes this hairstyle. During the communication process, parents can express their concerns and opinions appropriately. However, it is necessary to be careful to avoid excessive interference and accusations, and to pay attention to the way of speaking is equal, so as not to trigger the child's disgust and resistance. The psychology teacher especially reminded that parents can guide their children to understand different aesthetic concepts and cultural backgrounds, and it is best to talk about their own aesthetics, so that children can maintain respect for traditional culture and social norms while pursuing individuality. "It's normal for parents and children to have differences in aesthetic concepts, and the key is to be able to understand, respect and communicate with each other to find a balance. At the same time, this also shows that the child has grown up, and parents should be ready to let go gradually. ”

As a parent, you may sometimes need to think from the perspective of your child, don't interfere too much, and at the same time, you must also have a heart of "keeping pace with the times". As a student, it is okay to pursue fashion, but after all, the main task is to study, or you should maintain a positive, lively and healthy attitude, focus more time and energy on learning and self-improvement, and be more understanding of teachers and parents.

Children have their own choices without compromising their learning. Instead of resisting, parents should subtly guide them through star modeling and film and television drama characters, and the school helps students establish good aesthetic standards through aesthetic education.

Long bangs, oblique bangs are not friendly to the eyes

It has been learned that the Ministry of Education has a unified standard for hairstyles for primary and secondary school students: Boys are not allowed to have long hair and sideburns; although girls will not be forced to have short hair, they must ensure that their bangs do not exceed their eyebrows, and that their hair must be tied up if it exceeds the length of their collar.

In other words, whether it is long or short hair, it should be beautiful with a fresh and neat hair. It is better not to block the view, not to distract the attention, and not to affect the exercise, and later there are some schools that "the front is not but the back of the eyebrows but not the neck".

Why do we need to set such a standard for "student heads"? For long bangs, regardless of whether they are beautiful or not, we need to pay attention to the harm to the eyes.

Ophthalmologists have proposed the theory of form deprivation, which states that not being able to see clearly can itself cause or exacerbate myopia. Being obscured from the eye, whether it is a child with ptosis, congenital cataracts, or long bangs, can cause deprivation of shape. Whether it's oblique bangs that block one eye or long bangs that block both eyes, eye strain can occur. Especially in children and adolescents, long-term visual fatigue, blurred vision, and squinting can easily cause myopia or deepen myopia. In addition, excessively long bangs can cause frequent direct contact and friction between the hair and the eyeballs, which may cause corneal damage.

When bangs rub against the eyes, it will cause itchy eyes with a foreign body feeling, and if you can't help but rub your eyes often, it will also bring dirt into your eyes, which may cause eye infection, stye, conjunctivitis, and even keratitis.

So, there are so many risks with long bangs and oblique bangs, is it not recommended to keep them? That's not it.

When trimming the liuhai, it is recommended that the length should not cover the eyebrows, at most the eyebrows should be full, the width of the bangs should be outside the eye sockets, preferably beyond the midline of the ears and eyelids, to avoid blocking the field of vision, when the bangs are too long, it is also a good choice to use clips to avoid affecting the field of vision.
