How Can I Convince My Parents/guardians To Let My Dye My Hair Or At Least The Tips?
Hi, I’m 11 & a female. I want to dye my hair black because black is my favorite color & it’s something I’ve dreamed about since before I was 4. Right now it’s brown. (not really light, but not extremely dark) I live with my grandparents because my dad is in prison & my mom died. They’re pretty young though. One is 54 & one is 49. Anyway, I feel really strongly about this & all I want to do is express myself with my hair. I’ve tried telling them that & other reasons why I should be able to dye it & they always say “You’re too young” & “Your hair is beautiful!”. I’ve been trying really hard to get them to understand but I can’t, & I don’t want to do it behand their backs because I’m just not like that. Okay, so I decided I could settle for just the tips & they just sat there & laughed their heads off. I’m about to show them pictures of dyed tips when I submit this & go back downstairs. Maybe it will work but I don’t think so. They won’t even let me try wash-out dye so I can show them that it doesn’t look insane. I just don’t understand why the idea of it is so bizzare to them. I mean, they let my aunt dye her hair PURPLE when she was little. I asked them if that was why I can’t & they said they kind of liked her purple hair, but I don’t get it. I just want some things to use for my side of the argument because I’ve tried everything that I could find when I sat down for hours searching what to do. They just won’t listen, so I need something really over the top to say, & something where they can’t use my age & current hair against me. Thanks…

Sounds like you have thought of everything to say to convince them. Maybe ask if you can do it when you are 12, maybe that would give them time to get used to the idea! It is only hair, it can always be changed if you don’t like it, & it will eventually grow out! I raised 2 kids & didn’t have any hard line rules about hair, just no tattoos or piercings until they were 18. Hair is not that big of a deal!!!
