my 10 year old wants to die her hair is it bad for her?

Question

she is a blond and everybody makes fun of her should i let her or shouldnt i let her?

Answer 1

Use a semi permanent dye (washes out in 3-4 weeks) Semi permanent dyes have fewer chemicals that could cause burning, rashes or irritation to her skin...

Prior to applying the dye take conditioner (I use Pantine Pro-V) and smear some all around the skin surrounding her hair include her ears and make sure its a good coating... The conditioner will help so her skin is not dyed should some of the dye get on it...

It's only hair, the color will wash out or grow out over time go for ir... You might use it as a reward such as "get good grades on your next report card and we will dye your hair"...

My oldest now 19 has naturally dark brown hair, over the past 8 years we have dyed it blonde, red, brown, blue, purple, burgandy and "Barbi" pink.. Her hair is very long (just above the waistband of her pants) and in very good condition we make sure to pre condition with "Hair Choloestrol" prior to each dyeing and post condition with a "Hair Mask" to avoid damaging the hair too much....

Answer 2

Honestly it's up to you, however if it was me I'd say wait until she is at least in highschool and even then no drastic changes. By drastic I mean odd colors (pink, fire red, blue, green) or from blonde to black. I think also that dying her hair because people make of her is a way to run from an issue rather than face it. Kids can be cruel. Let her know that she is unique and that not all blondes have the ditz stereo type. She is a bright, intelligent girl, blonde or not. She must be proud of herself and have self confidence. That's my advice, but you are her mom/dad and you know her best. Do what you believe is right.

Answer 3

No, not only are the chemicals and breathing in the fumes bad for her at this age but she is wayy too young to be even thinking about it. Tell her she is beautiful the way she is and that the girls at school are just jealous. Buy her some cute hats and some nice hair ties, braid her hair etc. But, dont let her dye it..at least wait until she is 16....My mom had a fit when my sister wanted to dye her hair at the age of 14.

Answer 4

i think of that is fairly youthful to do an over all colour. I genuinely have highlightened my nieces hair whilst she become approximately 9 or 10 basically on the tip of summer season till now college all started yet she has grimy blonde hair and it appeared quite organic. It in simple terms brightened it up, and she or he become fairly performed with summer season swimming. It become with foils and not an on going ordeal. yet just to colour it because of fact she needs a diverse colour, or a ambitious colour that is thank you to youthful to commence that technique. there is way too lots artwork to maintain it up too. If she needs something relaxing now and then, she ought to apply those streakers, like a mascara for the hair, just to do some strands. No committment and it won't injury her, or her hair. And it washes out. edit....reliable factor razvy made...young ones are young ones, and that they want father and mom to decline whilst that is needed.

Answer 5

no. its not bad for her, you want to take into consideration that you will have to keep up with it. you will need to buy her good shampoo and conditioner. you'll have to get her hair touched up every 2-3 months or so. i would take her to a professional and let them take care of her. remember that children are much more advanced than they used to be! they act much older, and want more mature things done to them. use you discression. if it were my child, i would let her get it. just let her get some slight highlites, and hopefully she'll be satisified. depending on what color she wants, a rinse won't work. she probably wants something lighter. she'll need highlites. all highlites are not bimbo-blonde. she has what you call virgin hair. a little color won't hurt her at all, only give her more body to her hair.

Answer 6

That depends, my school I used to go to had rules against brightly colored hair as it was considered distracting to other students. As for brunette red or black I think it's your own personal choice. It might not hurt to let her show a little indepdence at her age, besides, if she doesn't like it you can always dye it back or let it grow out.

Answer 7

I say too young!! Maybe you could just do highlights or temporary coloring. Let her see how much it costs at the salon and have her earn the money and the responsibility of the upkeep. could be a good lesson! What will she want at 15??

Answer 8

Im 11 and have blonde highlights, there cool and it just makes me have a new look. I dont care much about it but plain old brown hiar is boring

Answer 9

Do you want to teach her to deal wtih teasing by hiding what she is? If she's being teased for being kind, should she stop that? if she's being teased for being smart, should she act dumb?

That's the biggest issue here, I think. You help her develop her character by how you help her face these issues. Conformity, hiding one's true self, going along to please a crowd.... sounds like a bad path.

why on earth do people make fun of her for being blonde, anyway? blonde is THE hair color. Is it jealousy?

Second, hair dye probably causes cancer. Since kids are smaller, the risks are higher.

Answer 10

It isn't bad for her physically. But I would say not to let her. Girls grow up too quickly... why help the process speed? Let her be a little girl, and when she is older (like 14) she can make a better decision.
