I think my daughter would have more confidence if she has blond hair like me! She currently has mousey brown hair. Her current hair color washes out her skin tone.

I don't think it is her hair that will give her confidence. You should teach her to be happy with who she is and bring out her wonderful traits and characteristics. Even if your daughter isn't as uppity as you that's okay, just let her be herself. In the long run skin tone won't matter and neither will her hair, people will love her for who she is. As her mother you need to encourage good qualities like that. Don't push her into vanity.

What makes you think your daughter will have more confidence by looking like you - her mother. You're not her age or a girl that's a little older that all the guys like - kids don't want to look like their mother. Has she even asked to have her hair colored? If not, leave her alone. You're just focusing on something pointless (hair color) & turning her hair color into a negative, which will make her feel worse about herself. Her confidence level has nothing to do with the color of her hair, it has to do with stuff going on in the inside, be positive & praise her when she does well, don't try to make her "hot" - it'll only cover up, not solve the real problem. Regaurdless, she should be at least 14 & out of Junior High.

I think you should ask her what she wants and not impose your opinion on her. There is nothing wrong with having brown hair, i have brown hair and brown eyes and i'm just as attractive as any blonde. You should work on building up her confidence, having her hair dyed just because you think it is drab because it isn't a stereotypical blonde might have an effect on her self esteem and teach her that it isn't okay to just be herself.

I don't think you should dye your daughters hair. I think you should let her chose to dye it at a good age. Teach you daughter to have self confidence and to love herself for who she is and what she looks like it does not matter what color her hair is as long as she loves herself and her family loves her to. stop worrying about the color of her hair she is a kid just lover her.

This is from the person who asked when to put her "hog" of an 11 year old daughter on diet pills!
I doubt the validity of the questions if only to convince myself that this type of mother can't really exist.
Another question asked by this person is when to send her daughter for face enhancing plastic surgery...Seriously ....what rocks do these types of mothers grow under?

I have the saaaaame hair. I still dye mine ti give it some luster. But my mom let me dye my hair around age 13. I went blonde and stayed blonde until I was out of high school. I liked it for the most part but I did get comments about my dark roots, and was called "fake". What about just getting her some blonde highlights?

Never, tell her she has pretty hair, not drab mouse like hair, her confidence can be built on other things besides her appearance, i bet her hair is pretty, are you going to get her implants at 16 too? shame on you, she should love herself the way she is

Way to perpetuate stereotypes, mom. How about being a mom and encouraging her to love herself the way she is rather than encouraging the quick-fix, take this, do this, consume as much as possible to make yourself feel temporarily better lifestyle?

Wow. . . .I think maybe you should teach her to have confidence in being herself, and let her make her own decisions. Brown hair is fine. . . ..

you know what....everyone has their opinion about everything and just because you ask they will tell you their opinion, but you have to decide! that is your child and as her mother you have to make that decision for yourself. and people are going to judge you for every choice you make as a parent so you have to make that judgement. and if you think she is too young then by all mean don't dye it but if you think she is old enough then do it. (i hope i have helped you some)
