My mom won't let me dye my hair!!!!?

Question

Ah! I am 16, and i have light brown hair/blondish, and i wan't to dye my hair brown. Should i dye it myself without telling her? Or should i beg her again?

Answer 1

Hi,
Begging your Mum and arguing with her isn't going to help - she's even more likely to say 'no' then. Show her you're mature by leaving it be a little while and then ask her again, let her give her reasons and if she says no, then you'll just have to put up with it.
Anyway, the saying that your natural hair colour suits you best is true and the amount of damage that hair-dying causes your hair is unbelievable - all that peroxide - I was using that in a chemical reaction to test for Oxygen today... It doesn't sound too good does it?

Don't do this without your mom's okay unless you want the rest of your summer to be messed up, you know, cause your mom not to trust you. When you go from light to dark it's a mess and costly to try to get back to light. If you opt to just grow it back out from dark to light it will look awful!! Been there, done that. I had my hair dyed from gray to dark brown with highlights. While it was very pretty, when I was done with it even professional bleaching didn't get it all out and I have been stuck with 2-tone hair growing out for over a year now because my hair is long. Besides, if you dye it yourself chances are it will look dull and lifeless. Better to wait until you and your mom agree and then have it done professionally.

i would ask her again and suggest to her a product that washes out completely in a few washes so both of you can see how you like it. if she still doesnt say yes, dont worry so much. you will have plenty of years when you can dye your hair any color you want and she wont have a say you just have to be a little more patient. if this is the most that comes between you two than you must have a pretty good relationship. sometimes moms have reasons for things.

Do your research. Figure out alternatives to permanent dye, possibly temporary hair color etc. You might want to consider asking her permission for high lights or low lights as an alternative. Collect and give her all the "Pro's" on hair dyes. My personal opinion: Once you color your hair, you will always color your hair. Think about it, Good Luck.

i had the exact same probalem but i was 14 haha i begged and begged and begged and i got to dye it red finnally but everytime i wanted to redo it i had to beg forever tell er u wan to express ur self in ur appearance and ur just experimenting with ur look and, its just hair color .nothing bad will come of it.
and if she wont let u and u really want to dye it go for it but make sure nothing is at stake!

Answer 6

I was not allowed to do anything with my hair at that age. So what I did (i had blond hair) is on my 17Th birthday I dyed it myself. What is the worst that is gonna happen??? You get grounded, big deal! You can undo what you dyed!! So in my opinion...do what you want...your 16 and after all it is your hair!

Answer 7

At sixteen, you're almost an adult, but you are still responsible for obeying your parents. If she says no, you need to do what she says. Besides, if you dyed it without her permission, she'd probably just force you to dye it back.

I like what Mystic Dreams said, I agree with her.

Answer 8

I would ask her her reason why. If it is the chemicals she doesn' want you to use, maybe ask her if she would mind Henna or some natural herbal alternatives. Thease can be purchases in health food stores. She may feel more comfortable with this and you may still be able to accomplish the result you wish to acheive.

Answer 9

Be a big girl and wait. You'll be 18 one day, and then you can do what you want. You disobey, and who knows what would happen? If I were your parent, I guarantee you you'd be spending enough time at home for disobeying me that no one outside of school would get to enjoy your new do.

Answer 10

yImagine the day the people obeyed their parents, If your mom says not to or doesnt let you then dont, if you have any respect or love for your mom you should not do the opposite of what she said not to do or doesnt want you to do. and alot of times its not the fact that the parent really cares they just feel like your rushing into it and arent mature enough to make a change like that, if you really want this show your mom your mature enough respect her decsion. and even if she still doesnt agree respect it. your mom probably isnt lettin you because shes smart enough to know that it damages and extorts your natural color.
