age to dye hair?

My mum had me whipped in for highlights the summer before I started high school 'cause my hair was looking abit "dull" this trend continued and now 11 years later I'm finally seeing what my natural hair colour is.

I dont think 14 is too young, I think I started dying my hair at 13/14. Ive had black, red, blonde, brown, blonde highlights, red highlights, pink highlights..... parents didnt mind aslong as I cleaned the bathroom after I had finished because I get it EVERYWHERE!!!

I would let him, anything to shut his moaning teenager gripes up! He would do it anyway.

To each their own really but my mum let me dye my hair around a mates house when I was 11. It was just a 6 washes one but i've been dying my hair twice a year ever since lol.

I don't think 14 is too young. I think I was 15 when I started using 'sun in' sprays and then the mousse stuff. I went bright red when I was 20, OH keeps hinting I should go back to it - but my work would have a fit!

Speaking of work - one of the kids turrned up one day with a hat on, and when we asked him to take it off, he went bright red....underneath, the whole front section of his hair was a lovely shade of purple. His sister had dyed his hair while he was asleep!!!:rotfl:

As for youngsters dying their hair - there is a boy at nursery with DD who has been turning up with dyed blonde streaks since he was 3 and a half...I do think that is too young!

I used to let mine do what they liked to their hair in the school holidays, but their school was quite strict, so son would get a Number 2 grade cut the day before he went back, and daughter would dye hers back to brown.

Son doesn't bother anymore, but daughter is now 25, has graduated and got a great job, and I still look forward to her visits home to see whether her hair's going to be pink, blue, purple or red this week.

I experimented with a whole array of colours and styles at school and university. With hindsight some of them were truly shocking and I have absolutely no idea what I was thinking at the time. :rotfl: but I will say that those years are definitely the best time to do things like that because after graduating I had no option but to be a well presented mature adult so that I had a fighting chance in the jobs market.

Ha! I would love to experiment more with my look, but can't because of work. Perhaps I shall go mad again when I am retired. I think anyone who didn't occasionally look absolutely shocking as a teenager was not doing it right and being far too cautious!

14 is a bit too young. ive just started to dye my hair now at 23. If it was my child i wouldn't encourage it but if asked i would allow a semi permanent. its too young to start wrecking your hair by bleaching and things.
