Q&A for How to Convince Your Parents to Let You Dye Your Hair

Find a compromise, whether it's a cheaper salon, a trustworthy friend or family member who can dye your hair, etc. If they won't let you dye your hair on your own, then they're likely just worried about you making a mistake.

You should try and convince your parents to let you. If they refuse, you should accept your parents decision. As for your friends, they shouldn't be making fun of you. Friends should support each other.

The dye can stain your skin, but it comes off if you thoroughly scrub it with soap and water. If you dab some Vaseline around your hairline and your ears, you're much less likely to get any dye on your skin.

Dyeing your hair is only dangerous if it's done improperly. You could always save your money and ask to go to a professional.

First you should apologize, and don't mention anything about dyeing your hair when you do so. Then give them a little time to get over/forget about it. Wait a few days or a week at least. Then ask if they might reconsider letting you dye your hair.

It can be hard finding a dye in store that matches your natural color exactly. If you go to a salon they will most likely be able to help you.

1. It will help you to stand out in a good way. 2. It defines your personality. 3. You would like to experiment with different hair colors. 4. You will feel more confident with some color in your hair. 5. He will make you happy! You can also try bargaining with him. Tell him you will get good grades in exchange for him letting you dye your hair.

Just wait until she is in a good mood that way when she answers she's more likely to say yes.

You can find it at Walmart or your local pharmacy. Anything that says 'temporary' or 'semi-permanent' will work. Use Head and Shoulders shampoo if you want it to fade fast.

That is something that is up to you and your parents to decide. It is different for everyone.

Sit down with both your Mom and Dad and talk about the pros and cons. Show your mom that you know what you're doing, or that you found someone trustworthy to do it for you.

There is no magical solution to this, unfortunately. If you don't lighten your hair first, the teal will not be very vibrant. If you choose to go teal anyway, Manic Panic dye is probably your best bet.

If your mom will not budge, that's okay. Be respectful and kind. Christmas is coming up, maybe you can ask her for this to be your gift. If not, she probably just wants you to wait until you're a little older, so try to be patient.

Will they let you use a boxed dye from the drugstore? Feria makes a really light/white blond that will give you close to the same effect. You could also suggest going to a salon and having a professional do it. Bleaching is perfectly safe if you know what you're doing. Otherwise, you might have to choose a different color or wait until you're a little older.

The right age is whenever you and your parents decide is the right time.

Yes, my sister dyed her hair blonde. You should be allowed unless your school has a specific policy.

Maybe they want to wait until you get a little older. It takes a while to get your hair dyed, so it might also just not be the best time when you guys are out and about running errands. See if you can get them give you an actual time/date when you can get it done, but don't ask so many times that it becomes annoying.

Ask your mom if you can get a temporary dye, meaning a wash-out dye. You spray it in and then you wash it out when you're tired of it. This might be a good compromise.

See how your mom would react to that kind of hairstyle. Then, politely ask if you could get your hair dyed. It may take some convincing, but don't lose faith. Don't annoy her with the question, either; be respectful.

Put hair-dyeing on your Christmas or birthday wish list. Then they'll see that you're really serious about it. You can also try getting your mom to convince your dad or to at least remind him to think about it.

You may just have to wait until you're old enough to do it on your own. You could also suggest temporary or spray-in dyes to your parents to see if they might change their minds.

If your parents say it's okay, then yes, you could. It might be best to go with a temporary dye, though. You can even use Kool-Aid if your hair isn't too dark.

Yes definitely, if you don't, it will have a green tone to it. It might not even look blue at all. Lighten it up with a 15 volume cream developer.

There is no age requirement for dyeing your hair, and you shouldn't have any trouble going from light brown to ginger. It might put your parents at ease if you suggest getting it done by a professional at a salon (if you can pay for it with your own money, all the better). If they still won't let you, maybe suggest a temporary dye?

Invest in hair extensions.

You can try to talk to her about it and see if you can come to a compromise, but you should ultimately respect your mom's wishes even if you do not agree with them.

Use a small amount of bleach.

If they say no, then there's nothing you can really do about it. The worst thing you could do is go behind their back and do it anyway because it can lead to trust issues between you and our parents. Just wait it out till you're a bit older, then ask again. Or, ask if you can use temporary dye, as it washes out, just for an occasion like Halloween. If they say yes to that, then you can suggest doing it for longer.

How did you dye it before? If your mom doesn't approve, you may have a hard time dyeing it professionally, or without getting in trouble. However, you can go to a pharmacy, beauty supply, or a simple store like Walmart and get boxed dye and use hair rubber bands or ties to separate the sections you want to dye. Dyeing your hair is a fun, safe (if done correctly), and harmless way to express yourself. Sit down and tell your mom how happy getting your hair dyed would make you. Offer to do things to pay for it, etc.
