Answer 1

Well you know what they say, "Its easier to catch flies with honey, than oil."

Here's my suggestion: You can show them the color, where you want it done, how much it will cost, all that stuff. And bargain with them. Or do something like majorly clean the house or something in the trade of getting your hair dyed. Either way, be very mature about it. Don't get angry or fustrated if they keep saying no! If you do that they will think you aren't ready for something like that.

Answer 2

You sound like a well behaved young girl who is also intelligent. Pretend you are a lawyer and make a list of all the horrible things kids your age put their parents through. While discussing this with your parents, point out that you would never dream of misbehaving in such a manner and that they should be proud of what a good girl you are. Tell them again what you want done and why. Make the very best argument you can for your case. But in the end, if they still say no, remember that one day you will be 18 and no longer living with them. At that time, you can color your hair green if you want to. It's hard being young and having parents who won't let you make small little decisions such as this. If you were my daughter, I'd let you go for it. Now, a tattoo, that's a completely different thing. And you might want to mention that to them. Whatever the answer, just tell them you love them and realize they think they are doing what is best for you, but they should give you a little bit of space. Good luck sweetie! Be a good girl and things will turn out O.K.

I too had to beg for years to dye my hair. My mom finally let me dye at 14 and it has been different colors for the last 10 years.

I got my cousin, who is a hair-dresser, to convince my mom that it wouldn't be a big change and I wouldn't look like a slut or freak. Do you have a neighbor or family member who is a professional that could put in a good word for you? If you don't have anyone then you will probably just have to wait it out. I know it's hard but that's the way life is sometimes.

I'm actually bored with dying my hair and want my natural hair color back. I have to wait to grow it out which will take about a year. Keep that in mind if you use permanant color.

Answer 4

You don't say how old you are, but I am guessing here, in the teen years. The hardest part in this time is that you have certain thoughts, think you are right, what's the big deal, and why not, but your parents have certain rules, and if one of them is "no dyeing your hair" then you're going to live by that rule whether you like it or not. We as the parents of 3 teens can tell you, that we are told to pick your battles and maybe you need to also, in the sense of what is the big deal about your hair? Accept who you are and how you are, even if it is the slightest change, just deal with what they're telling you. There are way bigger problems than that and you need to respect what your parents are telling you. Then if you do, maybe another time, for something else, they can compromise with you. That's what we've found anyways, compromise is key but we as parents also have to be consistent and stable and loving, even if you don't understand it. You'll be fine, get your mind on some other kind of hobbies, and school, reading. It'll get you much farther in life than the color of your hair!

Answer 5

I know how frustrating this is. I'm not sure how old you are, but I suspect that you are well under 16-18. I know that this may not be much comfort, but I guarantee you that your life after 18 is MUCH longer than before. With good health, you will live 60-80 years longer, during which you will have control over your hair color. Also, the urgency that you feel now for your hair color will seem less crucial with age. Hang in there!

Answer 6

The thing about hair is this...it grows back. It's not like a tattoo or piercings. If your only going to do normal colors that actually occur within nature for humans then that might be a good argument.

I came home with a spike one evening. I must have been 13. My father was furious! My mother started laughing. I wanted to try something new, and different. It grew out.

Answer 7

Hm....if you think that the color of the dye you've chosen is really, really suitable with your skin tone, why don't you scan your picture onto the computer then change the color of your hair using a photo shop. Print the end result and show it to your parents to proof that that color actually suit you more than your current one.

Or if you just wanna have fun, explain your reasons of dyeing your hair. Tell them that by dyeing, you feel more comfortable and more confident with your own self.

Or you can ask permission to dye your hair for one day and show it to them. Just one day. Maybe they'd like it and they end up giving you permission to dye your hair as long as you like.

Answer 8

i began out demise my hair while i grew to become into 15. I nevertheless to this present day dye it purple. I choose my hair grew to become into for sure purple, yet i can understand the type you're able to choose it to be no longer so organic looking. My sisters hair is amazingly orange purple, in spite of the undeniable fact that it is amazing. i do no longer understand suggestions on a thank you to talk them into it, i could no longer do something while i grew to become into 13. yet... if via some probability you do, i could do it your self from a shop bought field. it is not that stressful to do. additionally everytime me or absolutely everyone else i understand is going to the salon, it on no account seems top and it is totally intense priced.

Answer 9

How old are you?

My mom could really say anything about me dying my hair since she always dyes hers. Plus I didn't ask, I just came home with fuchsia streaks when I was 14.

Hair is hair, honestly what would they do if you did dye it? Shave it off?

Answer 10

Do your research online...find a natural, or organic colouring, get a sample of the colour you want to show them it isn't dramatic. Find out the dangers then find more info to defend that. Then ask to make an "appointment" with them to calmly explain you argument, then hopefully they will see that you have approached this in a mature and responsible manner and if you have answers to their reasons, hopefully they will see your way of thinking and let you.
Hope this helps :)
