Awesome hair but no permission


Question Posted Thursday June 7 2007, 1:32 pm

I'm going to enter junior high soon and my friends and I have decidded to change our appearance a bit. I decided to highlight my hair with a few black strips(nothin' goth or anything. It would just bring out my eyes better). So I asked my mom and she said no because she didn't want me to turn emo or somethin'. She rejected my idea before I got a chance to tell her my reasons. How can I convince her to let me highlight my hair?

I don't know what you can do to convince her, but what I have done is use a permanent marker. It comes lout looking pretty real if you do it right. It washes out in a few days or weeks though. Or you could ask her if you could just dye it with temporary hair dye.

There is no way im going to tell you not to do it, but its up to you. I think it shows your personality and style. I think you should still talk to your mom about it and ask her listen.From what you said I think that you need to tell her that youre growing up. If it's somthing that reflects you then really strive for it. I recently had a prob with my mom and my style. I think that it is not the most important thing but discuss the situation again.

WEll, try this. Tell her that you want her to think about it, and that you will ask her again at the end of the summer, before school starts. Then spend the summer acting very mature, and very grown=up. So that she trusts you. Stay out of trouble, and be mature about everything. when one of your friends or an aquaintance from school does something stupid and gets in trouble, tell her about it. It will make her think that you also think the behavior is stupid and that you wouldn't try it. (hopefully this is true.) My son had a purple mohawk during high school, and I didn't mind because he was always honest, always responsible, and got very good grades in school. No I didn't like the mohawk, but what could I say. He never gave me a moments worry in any other area, so how could I say no.? His acting responsbile bought him my trust and much more freedom. He shaved it off when he started college (thank goodness, ha,ha.)
