Apparently I have no life experiences and know NOTHING!
Ok so my daughter is in Utah for spring break and decided to have her beautician of an aunt dye her hair to the color she wanted. Apparently I don't do it right...but that's not the point of this post. I text her to see how her hair turned out, and if she liked it. She replied that it was too blonde and she didn't like it (guess I'm not the only one who can't do it right! Yah me!) Any whoo...she told me that we need to dye it darker when she gets home, to which I responded that it's too damaging and she needs to wait awhile before re-coloring it. Of course she tells me that it's fine to dye it again and nothing will go wrong with her gorgeous hair! Well duh, what did I expect her to say? So the question is this: do I stick to my guns and let her know that no means no or do I let her express herself and possibly learn the hard way?? I would really hate for her to ruin her hair, but it is her hair. Any thoughts, my fellow bloggers?

I say heck, LET HER DO IT! I did it as a teen, and learned the hard way -- but I also learned that 'heck, its only hair' and it will grow back. Plus, there is nothing she can do that cannot be fixed! I was bleaching my hair, shaving it, having my friends pour bleach and peroxide on my head... and I am still here with a full head of hair. :)
ReplyDeletePlus, going darker does not damage hair, only lightening it. :)
I thought dying your hair was damaging no matter what color. I know bleaching it causes way more damage, but don't the chemicals damage your hair if you dye it too much?
ReplyDeleteI say you need to stick to your guns. She needs to learn that when you say no you mean no. Plus what if something happens to her hair and she has to cut or something who is she going to be bad at. Probably you for letting her do it.
ReplyDeleteSo?? what did you end up doing? I say choose your battles, and hair is something I (if I had a daughter) would let her do what she wanted. It's a form of expressing herself.. and its easily fixed if she messed it up.
ReplyDeleteBetter stick to your guns now! Or there will be hell to pay in a year or two. What are you going to say when she wants to experiment with alcohol, drugs, or sex.
ReplyDeleteHer hair is only the beginning....
