At what age would you allow your child to dye his/her hair?

I would let my child dye their hair in high school. Even then, I would require that it only be semi-perminant dye. Young girls change their mind so often about who they want to "be" as they develop their personalities.

This could lead to multiple dye-jobs and therefore, damage to the hair and scalp. Once you start dying your hair it is difficult to stop because of the different colored roots coming in. Also, most people look best with their natural hair color because it best matches their skin tone.

After they left school. The reason is simple, most schools don't allow students or even the teachers, to dye their hair. If they enter a school where they are allowed to dye their hair, then the minimum age to dye their hair for me is when they reach high school.

I don't want young kids to be too conscious or pay attention too much on their looks. I also don't want them to look older than they really are. The other condition to dye their hair is not to use outrageous color and I will accompany them to the salon.

After they reach 12th grade, I will let them do what they want with their hair.

Its funny that you ask this question as I have just gone through this process. I have 5 children (4 boys, 1 girl) and my daughter who is 15 asked if she could dye her hair jet black. My first concern was that it was such a dark color choice because she has a very fair skin complexion.

The first thing I did was maker her a wig with jet black hair to see how it would look on her. She wore it for about 2 weeks and surprisingly it was a very attractive look for her. Once we did this test I went to the cosmo shop and purchased a black rinse for her hair (it washes out after about 8 shampoos) and when I relaxed her hair I also rinsed it in ebony.It has been working out very well.

Her hair is almost back to its original color (sandy brown). I wouldn't allow her to color her hair any weird or unnatural colors at this age but I will allow her to rinse nice natural colors every so often. I would suggest that if you decide to allow your child to experiment with hair color that you use rinses because they are very temporary and if your child is a girl let her try on some wigs so that you know how the color will look before you commit.

That's my 2 cents. I hope it helps.

I would say that the same age they start deciding on their own wardrobe, they can decide their own hair style. It's just hair, and it grows out.

As long as they knew how to follow directions on the bottle, didn't try black (black has to grow out) and stuck to washout dyes I wouldn't object if they earned the money to buy it. Fake colors? If they can get a note from their school/teacher/work/organizational leaders of groups they're in saying they won't be kicked out for crazy hair, same rules as above.

I would say once they graduated from high school I would let them dye their hair. But before I would let them, I would make sure that they were aware of the dangers of dyes and how they can dry hair if they are used too often.

If I had a child, I think I would let him or her dye hair at age 13 or so. It is a cheap and relatively harmless way for them to express their individuality, so why not? I have been dying my own hair for ten years now, so I would be able to help.It is a bit tricky and dangerous, so maybe I would even do it for them.

A few years ago in a class I was substituting for, long term, there was a 13 year old kid who had a Mohawk haircut. He was blond. He spiked his Mohawk up, too.

It was hilarious. He was a great kid who just loved the attention. He earned straight As in school and worked well with others, so I didn't see any harm in his self expression.

Here is something to think about too when tinting hair. What age is said child that wishes to have their hair coloured? If the person is a girl, has she gone through puberty yet?

Our hormones play nasty tricks on how color can turn out. Same goes for when we are older and going through 'the change of life' If you are planning on using box colour that you bought at the grocery store, or walmart, or CVS, are you ready to invest in going to the salon and have that fixed? A vast majority of the time that box color never turns out right.

And when you do go to the salon to have it done, are you ready to invest in the professional products (shampoo, conditioner, etc) to keep that color long lasting? Suave, Salon Selectives, Purell, might all smell great, however are loaded detergents, drying agents, sulfates, which all cause the colour to be stripped, and the hair to dry.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
