What would cause a child's hair to turn a different color at the tips of her hair?

My 3 1/2 year old daughters hair is turning like a light red at the tips of her hair. I just started noticing it a few days ago. Nothing has been put in her hair. Anyone know anything about stuff like this? Thanks

    next time they are painting tie their hair in a ponytail, this way it will not fall into paint! allowing the children to soak in bath for half an hour should remove any paint left in hair.

    My answer is not backed by anything medical, but I believe the hair follicle becomes less dense at the ends (where the hair is the oldest). The sun bleaches this part easier and the color may fade like you stated. I have a 9 year old and in the summer her hair does the same thing. Also if they swim alot the color can fade because of the chemicals.

    If she is spending any time at all in the sun it will cause it to change. Also, as they get older it changes on its own as well. When I was little I was pure blonde until I was about 3 then it slowly started to darken, Now I'm a total brunette! My (almost) 2 year old daughter was born with jet black hair and now it is a light brown with beautiful high and low lights. My (almost) 1 year old was born a blonde and now is turning more of a strawberry blonde. As for the medical reason on why it does it, I can't tell you. I just know from experience that it does happen and it's quite normal! :)

    all of us is judged for some thing, would not count number what epidermis colour any individuals are there is continually someone who has some thing to assert about us, pretty as females- only that actuality on my own units against a heavy tide. in case you experience someone is being racist to you upward thrust up for your self and don't be disturbed about what others imagine of you for doing that. you've a appropriate to guard your emotions and delight and also you've a appropriate to remind human beings of their lack of understanding in the experience that they grant you with reason to. If there are stupid human beings (white or in the different case) in this international who desire to guage on epidermis colour then their own stupidity and shortage of understanding will seal their destiny they are going to be their own down fall. look how solid you're, undergo in ideas that you're who you're and also you've no longer some thing to be embarrassed about and also you want no longer clarify your self to everyone. If lack of understanding makes you indignant, and that make you an 'indignant black lady' then be that lady and be her proudly because you do not stand for any crap from any ignorant bigots and that is a few thing you ought to be happy with.

    It could be because it's summer and she's been out in the sun so it caused highlights at her tips.
