i do an evening hairdressing course.
tonight had dark purple flashes put in my blonde hair.
its turned out really nice and everyone has said so
but when i asked some of the women if they would have that colour or a similar one done all the ones with kids said that they couldnt colour thier hair bright colours because they have kids.
i dont understand why that would effect the colour they dye their hair.
am i missing something since i havent got any kids?

the women are aged between 25 and 45.

Personally, there are styles of things I won't wear because I am a mom. I don't need anything revealing walking around with 4 kids. My sis gave me a T-shirt with 'TEASE' written on the front- Yeah I can see me pushing my double stroller with two four-year-olds tagging along and 'TEASE' written across my chest. The same goes for hair. I see such adventurous hair and think young and wild, I may be young but can't afford to be wild. I realize these are stereotypes but that is the world we live in.

I can't say for sure, but perhaps they view dying their hair wild colours as an immature thing, and they want to be good role models to their kids.
I for one know that I wouldn't dye my hair a crazy colour because it would just look unprofessional in my work place. Most people associate wild hair colours with teenagers, students, or people with unconventional jobs.

Some people are jealous.
As a hairdresser myself, I know that you express yourself through your hair. If you want your hair a bright colour then do!
It's good to have a broad idea with hairdressing to avoid sending clients out looking identical.

They don't want to set a bad example for their kids. This could be moral issue, or an aesthetic one. Personally, I don't think you can improve over nature and think the look you are describing is tacky. That is an aesthetic judgment. The body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and we are to conserve it to honor his presence. That is a moral judgment. I don't hold much for religion so I will go with the aesthetic judgment, that is, it is just plain tacky. The mothers you are talking about don't want their kids thinking that they are some sort of "riot girls," or something to that effect. One reason is that this is just a silly and elusive phase and you will be like her before long. Unfortunately, that is the way the cookie crumbles.

Some women lose their identity after they have kids and feel the need to look 'mumsy'.
I personally don't understand why. I am a parent and am always putting bright colours in my hair.

I no what you mean i have the underneath of my hair coloured bright pink, everyone always comments on how lovely it looks but when i offer it to my clients they always decline!!! I think its because people worry about what others may say or what other mothers would think as if it makes you irresponsible or an unfit mother for having crazy hair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ive absolutely no idea! ive got a four year old, ive got naturally dark brown hair (with a bit of grey!) but ive got red flashes running through it, I have no idea why someone would say that. Wierd!
Maybe they think they are too old??
Depends on the woman, some women age better than others, I can imagine that some women would look bizzarre with different hair, but if you are young/young looking, I cant see that it matters.

I think its each to there own. I am in my 50's and have a few pink streaks in my hair, which look really nice. You are your own person and at the end of the day its your life and hair. Does it really matter what other people think if you like it that's what matters. Age concerns is just a flawed perception.

just an excuse. They are not as adventurous as you. I have had purple, orange and blue in my hair and I have 3 kids. I have not coloured it for a few years now as the maintenance is more than I can handle - time and money. Enjoy your fun hair colour and forget what they mums say.
