headstrong

/ˈhɛdstrɒŋ/adjective

Insisting on doing things your own way, regardless of what others advise.

Example sentence

“Their headstrong daughter refused to change her travel plans despite the warnings.”

Softer than 'stubborn' and often almost fond, especially of children and heroines in fiction: a headstrong girl who ignores warnings. The fault is in refusing advice, not in the goal.
