How To Convince My Mom To Let Me Dye My Hair

How can I convince my mom to let me dye my hair?

When my 7 year old asked me if she could dye a streak of her hair, I laughed and said “Of course not.” It was said in a definitive tone with no wiggle room. I wasn’t even going to consider letting her dye her hair. And yet, just 2 weeks later, I brought her to a salon and helped her dye a streak of her hair.What changed? I’m still not completely sure how she got me to change my mind - but she did. Let me try to pick apart what she did during those 2 weeks.She reasoned with me. There was no whining, no complaining, no yelling or tantrums. But she wanted me to explain my reasons for saying “no” - and I had a hard time coming up with good reasons. We talked about hair dyeing as a slippery slope toward tattoos, piercings, etc. - but she was laughing out loud when I was saying this, and I quickly realized how ridiculous I was being. She reassured me that she had zero interest in tattoos, piercings, or any of the other things I mentioned - she only wanted to dye a small streak of her hair.She had impeccable timing. She repeated her request multiple times over several days, but only when I was in a good mood and feeling good about my parenting skills. She asked about dying her hair after she had taken all her medications without complaint, or after she had done all her homework.She told me that she would pay for it out of her allowance, signaling to me that this was important to her.She suggested that we look at pictures of kids online with streaks of dye in their hair, so that she could show me what it would look like. And the pictures all looked so reasonable - the kids we saw looked like good kids.When we were having a snack at a cafe across the street from our local salon, she persuaded me to stop in briefly, not to get a streak, but just to talk to the people there about what it would entail. I admit I was surprised at how easy, quick, and cheap it would be - and how common it is these days for kids to get streaks of dye in their hair.And finally, when I said that we could do a streak, but ONLY if it was with temporary dye and no bleaching - she immediately agreed. I also insisted that she wait another full week, so that she would be completely sure that this is what she wanted.The next weekend, I took her to get two streaks of red dye in her hair.

How do I help convince my mom to let me dye my hair? My hair color is rather boring and I can't control it. I have body issues and my hair just adds to it because it sucks. I'm in 7th grade and want to dye it for fun.

You need to address several issues. If you wish to change your allover color to a shade much different from your natural color, especially changing a dark shade to blonde, you can do a lot of damage to your hair. It will look terrible if you try to bleach it on your own. A professional color job can be quite expensive, and require follow-up treatment to maintain it. Do not go this route. If you want to do an unconventional color, as many young prople do, you need to consider the color and the placement of the color. My daughter has long, dark hair and she wanted to color the lower tier purple. I knew an at-home kit would not “take” very well. I took her to a colorist at the salon where I get my hair done, and she stripped the color on the bottom several inches and colored it. It was pretty expensive, bur looked beautiful, and the color blended well with her natural color. The color did not look “freakish.” When the color faded, she redid it once at home, and eventually decided to have the processed part trimmed off. You could do a portion of your hair, and doing a strip at the bottom allows you to cut that part off if it doesn’t work. She might be agreeable to you just doing a strip of color. As a mother, I would rather my daughters express themselves with hair color, which is temporary, rather than permanent body alteration. It has to be done the right way, however, to avoid hair damage, and with thought to appropriate appearance at school and other places.

How can I convince my mom to let me color my hair blue?

You might not be able to.My personal belief is that it is your body and it doesn’t really harm anyone and you’re a teen. Of course you want to express yourself and now should be the time to do it.But your mum might have her own perfectly legitimate reasons for not letting you do this. She might feel you are too young. She might want to encourage you to embrace your natural beauty and or not risk damaging your hair. Because it would take some work to achieve and maintain pale blue hair. She might be concerned what the school would say or the wfffects of you standing out so prominently amongst your peers with hair like that.Why not ask if you can sit down and discuss it and put your own views across to each other. And by this I really mean listen to each other’s view and try to understand it, rather than attempting to manipulate her into getting your own way. Maybe you could meet a compromise about doing it? As in, maybe a temporary colour for the holidays or something, if maybe you meet her in the middle and keep up with school work and chores?

How can I convince my parents to let me dye my hair black?

It depends how old  you are.  Normally around the age of 16 or 17 I would say it would be feasible.  It's only hair, so if  you don't like how it looks, you can always die it back to  your original color or let it grow out.  There is the saying: It's better to ask forgiveness than for permission.  At least in this case.  When I was 17 I started using wigs of different colors to see how I looked then I proceeded to dyeing it, some results were fabulous others were disastrous.  But again it is only hair color which isn't  permanent.  I got it out of my system, now I'm happy with my hair color which is silver gray.
