Should I let my daughter tip dye her hair?

If her hair is in good condition why not

I'm 13, and my parents don't let me do ANYTHING. Therefore, I practically worship you for at least seeking the ideas of others before stubbornly saying, 'no.'

In my opinion, I believe it would be best to wait until she's 13. Give it to her as her birthday present. Tip dye is super-cute, and a lot of people will compliment her on it.

BUT, at the same time, if I were 12, and all my friends were doing it, I'd feel so left out I would forget the fact that i was only 12 simply because I'd want to be a part of the in-crowd. So from her point of view, if she's been asking you for so long she either:

a) wants to annoy you so much until you give in (believe me when i say it works)

b) wants this so much with all her heart that she can't stop thinking about it

c) simply hates being treated like a little girl, and want to grow up already and be one of those cute teenage girls like you see in the movies (lord knows i feel the same)

If you REALLY dont want to, promise her you will let her when she's 13, and offer her something else in the meantime to keep her busy.

And here's a tip: daughters love it when their moms can stop being parents for one second, and just see things from the daughter's point of view. Even if you're not so hot about the idea of tip dye, and even if she cant have it until she's 13, hug her and ACT excited. Tell her you think it'll be really cute, and you can go ahead and plan everything to show her your support, and prove to her that you're not just saying no because you're a parent and you can say no because you dont care (another tip: daughters HATE that). Otherwise, it'll probably end up in an argument.

Good luck!

Does she turn 13 soon? If not, I don't think you should make her wait that long. She's obviously put a lot of thought into it if she's been asking for a while. Also, it's just the ends she wants, so whenever she gets tired of it she can just cut them off instead of having to dye her whole head. But if her hair is dark she'd have to bleach the ends for anything to show up and that's very damaging.

There's also this thing called hair chalking which gives your hair some color without having to commit to anything. It's easy and she could change the colors up everyday. Here's a video on it:

Also, you can use kool-aid to dip-dye and won't be harsh on her hair and it's not as permanent. Here's a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYT6tjTtW8A

Well, tip dying is only the ends right? I would say that she's a tad bit young but if she's being annoying I would cave too.

well yeah age does kinda count. (im 13) i'd say no still because she probable got the idea from older kids and most likely being influenced by other kids at school

hi i am 13 years old and i got highlights when i was 12 it is just something everyone's doing and its an experience she wont for get and she growing up but she will ALWAYS be your little girl

Just the tips , wouldn't want her hair to get damaged..

I sympathize with your daughter but she should wait

well let her dye to color well she should wait till they get older

wait

shes too young

i agree
