I think our mothers' feel they are authorized to comment liberally on us daughters. Their opinion(s) are in hierarchy above our very own and the human race.
Believe me at 46 my mom at 74, the critical comments don't stop. Sometimes they make us feel unsure about ourselves, especially when it comes to our physical appearance. Sacred ground there. You know what.....Just keep being who you are and wear your hair in the moment that suits you. Have no regrets in life.
