Question by ~Waves~: Convincing my parents to let me dye my hair?
I have senitive skin and I know some dye has some harsh chemicals and it will affect my skin, but I’m tired of my hair the colour is a dark brown that sometimes looks lifeless in colour. I want to change that. My mum dyes her hair cause she has white hair coming in, and she says I can dye my hair till I’m 30… Or older… I scared to bring up the topic to her, help please?

Ask her if you can use an all natural hair dye, with no ammonia or any harsh chemicals in it. You can buy these from your local health shop.
Tell her, you just want a little bit more colour in your hair & that your not going to do anything extreme & that everyone else is dying there hair. I started dying by hair when I was 10! So.
Good luck! 🙂
Give your answer to this question below!
just go ahead and do it without her knowing, once its done theres nothing she can do about it, thats what i would do but if you no she would get really mad at you and stuff then dont cause i dont want to be reasponcable for you getting introuble even though i dont even no you haha
Why are you “scared to bring up the topic”? The worst she can do is say no, does hearing “no” really frighten you that much? If so, you have a scary life ahead of you, you’ll hear the word many, many times.
If your mom has said before you can’t dye your hair, then you can’t dye your hair. A new haircolor is not the key to happiness, find something else to amuse yourself.
If you have dark hair the only colour you can dye yourself is black, which is usually very harsh, so in any case I would highly recommend getting it done by a hairdresser, if you tell them that you have sensitive skin they will know how to handle it. If you do want a lighter colour then you need bleach to do that and doing that yourself will make your hair fall out no doubt. I’m sure getting it done by a proffessional will help your mums worries, im not sure how old you are but 30 is a ridiculous age to have to wait for, I’d say 18 is an independent age, if you are older than that you can make this decision without your mums say so.
Hi I dyed my hair light blonde in the holidays, but I would not recommend that. You see with permanent hair colours- light blonde’s, blacks etc, you need to reapply before it grows out and looks nasty. I would recommend getting a colour close to your natural hair colour- like light brown or dark golden brown. This would last a few weeks- four at the most- if i does not work, then don’t re apply the dye. I like nice `n` easy because they are fairly good value for money. To persuade your mother, try to stick to a wash in wash out one to show your mother that they will make a large difference to appearance and self-confidence. try the websites below for more info. Dyes are not usually recommended for children under 16, so that might alter your decision. Superdrug have some sales on now so you can pick up a bargain. If you are worried about harsh products, Holland and barret offer natural permanent hair dyes which have no ammonia. They are more pricey though. I also have sensitive skin, but do the patch test 48 hours before and you should be fine. Also buy a good quality dye- not cheap stuff. Good luck and I am sure you will look awesome!
30 or older? Once you turn 18 you are your own person and you will be able to do whatever you want to your body to modify it. She can’t stop you from dying your hair once you turn 18.
Anyways, in the mean time- find organic hair dye so that it doesn’t harm your skin. You can either ask her about it first, or dye your hair without your mom’s permission (what will she do about it?)
It’s dang HAIR. You are your mother’s child- NOT her property. If she won’t even give you the freedom to dye your hair… demand it!
Did you just said you have SENSITIVE skin? Chemicals are not for you then.
EVEN IF A PRODUCT IS LABELED “HYPOALLERGENIC,” IT MAY CONTAIN SUBSTANCES THAT CAN CAUSE ALLERGIC REACTIONS.
Good thinking! Question 6b is True!
After all, people are individuals. And there’s no telling what any individual may be allergic to. According to the cosmetic industry, “hypoallergenic” means “less likely to cause an allergic reaction.” But dermatologists – and consumers who have allergies – know that the word “hypoallergenic” on the label is no guarantee against an allergic reaction.
Your mom is smart to say no. Google hair dyes & cancer, specially darker dyes. Some people smoke & tan all their lives and do not get cancer. But there are 2nd hand & 3rd hand smoke who are now carrying their oxygen tank so they can breath or have cancer. Same with hair dyes. If you’re not affected today, or next month, you may never be affected and you’re one of the lucky ones. It doesn’t take overnight, it takes years of hair experimentation with hair dyes.
If I have children that young, I’d tell them to wait until they’re at least 21, ok, 18. Are you 18 & over?
I’ve responded to many girls (guys now too) under 15 experiencing in hair loss since 2009, due to hair straightening, relaxers and hair dyes. Women 60-90 have those same symptoms but it took them years to get there. But for 15 & under, giving advice here? They can’t predict the future of their hairs, until they’re in their 30’s, but 15 & under with hair loss? C’mon! I’ve responded 7 in 2 hours 9-3-10, (before school started) 4 in 1hour 3-5-11 alone. 3 in 1hr. 8-8-11, 6 in 15 mins. 11-10-11.
Playing with chemicals is not like playing with clothes, or doing a manicure, there are penalties for playing chemicals in the lab. Even hair color experts at the salon are not rocket scientists, they do a bang up dye jobs to their clients or their own hair.
Example: “My hair is right about armpit length as it is, but I’ve severely damaged it by bleaching it all at once. As a student of cosmetology myself, I would have to say that it was probably one of the worst mistakes I could have ever made.”
Another example: ok i did my hair yesterday i DIDN’T bleach it ,but im not sure what its called but she took the color out of my hair and then dies it a blond color and my head was on fire it killed me so after that i hated my hair color so i colored it my self a darker color, it looked so ugly and it burned me again it rully hrt so after i washed it my mom checked it for me and found small spots of blood all over my top scalp like over 20 of em now im scared and don’t know why its there is it from the color am i sick and something is wrong ??
Chemicals can enter the body through the skin.
Google: Teen ‘feared she would die’ after reaction to hair dye
The allergic reaction was caused by a well-known brand of semi-permanent hair dye Chloe used to turn her hair black for a Hallowe’en party. . . . . called for beauty bosses to ban hair dye chemical PPD (para-phenylenediamine) from the shelves. 11-04-11
Permanent black hair dye is linked to causing leukemia and lymphomas.
Some schools suspend students for dyeing their hair. Read The Parent Handbook, example a 10 year old, a 6 year old @ Grafton Elementary Middle School. 8-20-11.
Here’s a new article I found re: henna, which is supposed to be better for you than reg. box dye. It’s a good read!
Google: Henna for Hair Warnings.
Google: Warning– Clairol Natural Instincts dye recall
If you’re using Henna which says it’s going to turn your hair from black to blonde, then it seems like your using compound Henna, which is not 100% natural. Without getting too scientific, compound henna is when you mix the Lawson ia with a chemical like, metallic salts. The most commonly used ones are Copper, Lead acetate and Nickel. This can arguably damage your hair, leaving it dry, brittle and coarse.

When it comes to hair care treatments, product use or visits to a salon or spa, the consumer must take responsibility to do their homework and be aware of all the risks involved.
Vanessa Minnillo Lachey: “I dated a guy once who wanted me to have blonde hair. Clearly, he was the wrong guy for me! I went to a lady who bleached my hair and it literally fell out. So, not only did I go back to my natural hair, I broke up with the guy!”
One example: MY HAIR DRESSER DYED MY HAIR GREY. I’ve been crying for the last 2 hours, I want to kill that bish for destroying what was amazing bleach blonde hair. AND to make things worse, she cut my extensions WAY too short.
