Children with highlighted hair
26 Answers
Whilst sitting in McD's on Sunday I was shocked at the number of young children in there that had highlighted hair, they were mainly young boys no older than 10.
I also saw one in my high street the other day who was naturally dark but the fringe was peroxide blonde, with peroxided circles around the rest of the head like ladybird spots.
Personally I think its wrong that children should be allowed to do this what do you think?

Four isn't too bad for pierced ears..I hate seeing pierced ears on a little baby.
My 9 year old daughter has her hair dyed brown, but I do this because she has a really thick streak of grey down the back of her head which appeared after she cut her knee open very badly and had stitches. The Health visitor reckoned the grey streak happened because of the trauma...in any case she was unhappy with it because other kids were taking the mick out of her, so I dye it!

I think, like most things, it depends on the child and how tastefully it is done.
I would worry about dying/perming young children's hair cos the chemicals are so harsh and their skin so sensitive but you can find some organic/natural products on the net these days.
I think ear piercing is a slightly more grey area....i don't see anything wrong with a little girl in a beautiful little dress ( Laura Ashley etc) and tiny little sparkly pink studs and mary jane shoes, especially if she is a girly girl like my one is (who doesn't have earings I have to say) and a child wearing inappropriately adult clothing, huge hoopy earings, greasy red/blond streaks and generally not looking very beautiful. That makes me feel sad.
I encourage my girls to look beautiful and tell them that they are so and if they want to experiment with make up/hair products, I try to let them under my strict guidance and supervision so they can have the experience in a safe way. Most Girls want to learn about these things that they see us use all the time. My 12 year old now, takes very good care of herself, still wears very pretty/beautiful clothes and gives herself manicures/pedicures/looks after her skin etc and if she wanted to colour her hair, I don't think I would object as long as it were tasteful. She also has a healthy body image and good self esteem.
I fully sympthise with you Pippa: in your situation, if there were something about my child that really bothered them personally and was becomming a thorn in their side, I would help them to find a solution as this is what I would like someone to do for me.

I have to say,my youngest is nearly 9 and will put on a bit of eyeshadow, cream colour normally but i wouldnt let her dress up as a 16 year old slapper(if u know what i mean)childhood doesnt seem to last so long these days as it is and she knows that she doesnt have her hair coloured until she's older,i'm not messing her hair up for NO bu99er!

well said noxy
i think many people focus on irrelevant, pointless and petty things and get irate, uppity and controlling about them, rather than focus on the things that actually matter in life, and that will affect their kids in a real way.
small town, small lives, small minds
exactly what harm does a bit of hair colour do? what?

My son wanted the tips of his hair bleached about 4 years ago (now 15) . I didnt really want to let him do it but my boss, very wisely, told me to let him because if i didnt, he would resent me in the future and rebel !. He had it done, but only the once. never bothered after that so i think i did the right thing. I dont like to see really young children having their hair coloured but only because i know that it can damage their hair (i work in a hairdressers) I would say the youngest we get in the salon is about 9. thats fine, often they only have very subtle colours anyway..
One thing i dont like to see is babies 6 months or so, with pierced ears. i think its dangerous and looks silly but that is my personal opinion.

jeez, plucked eyebrows on a one year old is a bit over the top!!
how utterly pointless, painful and very vain!
they are not a doll!
i just how hairy can a one year olds be??
it could permanently ruin the shape of the childs brows - as i am sure many of you know that after a while they stop growing back fully.
what if, by the time this baby is 16, in 2022, bushy eyebrows are the height of fashion...lol
