what can possible happen? (help please, a question about hair)?

Question

okey, my 12 year old cousin has a thick gorgeus black hair but the thing is that she is growing white hair! SOmetimes her classmates sees it and she seems so depress. It runs in the family but somehow I didn't get it.
I want to help her out. She's thinking about putting touch ups at her hair. (color brown)
should a 12 year old color her hair? or is it going to damage her hair?

Answer 1

I don't think that dying it at 12yo is going to cause a problem. However, I cannot say for sure. (I've been coloring my hair since 14 yo).

If she is concerned I recommend two options:
1. get it professionally done (at a salon)
2. use a natural dye, you can find this at a healthfood store, it's suppose to be safer.

good luck!

Answer 2

Of course dyeing her hair will cause damage. I just read about this new stuff, it looks like mascara but its for hair. It comes in 12 colors. It washes out with each shampoo. She could just apply that every morning before school. I don't know who makes it but if you call around or do a google search you will be able to find it.

Answer 3

Hair dying always damages the hair. It's a matter of doing it only in moderation. I would stick to a color more like her natural color and try and get a hair dye without ammonia in it. Herbal Essences is really good for that.

Answer 4

yes, thats normal, I went to high school with a guy who had random white hairs. I wouldnt color it at the age of 12, coloring too much is damaging. dont start that off so early

Answer 5

hello ! that is probably the worst resort for white/grey ahirs. Dying hair causes really bad damage, and especially at such a young age. You can purchase Henna, its an indian natural dye. Its available in many stores, cash and carrys etc. you can buy it in many colours, and it doesnt cause damage to the hair as it is made form plants and natural products.

Answer 6

it definitely could damage it, but if it will make her feel better about herself, then i think it would be worth it.

some people have patches where their hair isnt pigmented. sometimes it comes out looking grey, sometimes white. it is a very natural, very common thing, and i even think it looks really cool sometimes.

she should get her hair colored at a salon, though. dont do it for her, and dont let her do it herself. with multi-toned hair, its really tricky.

i hope she learns to accept and love those little flaws. its what make us different from everyone else. i think it sounds really cool. maybe when she gets older, she can start dying those parts blue or red...

but i think i was about 12 when i first started dying my hair. it wont harm her.

Answer 7

Yet, she's still young. I think it is pretty damaging because she will dry her hair out before she's even a teenager! The chances of that is that she may loose her hair in her erly teens, 20's. I would use temperary or hebal coloring if it's that desperate.

Answer 8

as long as you dont overly dye her hair... her hair will turn out jus the same as dieing at 18 year olds hair their first time

Answer 9

well people say it damages you like body wise i guess, since the colouring touches your salp. but if it doesn't then it shouldn't be a problem. the whiteness might just be from stress or lack of nutrition

Answer 10

yes she should put brown coloring in her hair..
ive been putting highlights in my hair since i was in 4th grade.
it doesnt damage or do anything to your hair.
