Why Can't I dye my hair?
Info you should know:
1) My sister is a hair stylist she went to beauty school
2)I don't have my period
3)I'm 13
4) I want to dye my hair bright bright red
5) All my sisters have dyed their hair like 50 times.
I have asked my Mom if I can dye my hair and she keeps saying NO. And heres her reason: because you dont have your period for 3 years because of the chemicals in the dye. And I asked what will it do? And she said : Idk, but lets not find out.
I said : i dont believe you
she said: Just ask your sister she went to beauty school she knows.
Me: UGH! and stomps off.
I'M REALLY PISS3D OFF I WANT TO DYE MY HAIR IS THIS TRUE THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE YOUR PERIOD FOR 3 YEARS BEFORE YOU CAN DYE YOUR HAIR?

I looked at both links in the previous answer. It does make sense to wait until puberty because your hair and scalp change and you risk seriously damaging either. However, I do recommend you read the second link well. It basically says that over the age of 8, you can use gentle, color only dye (that doesn't chemically lighten your hair to make the color stay). It says nothing about waiting 3 years after puberty. I personally think that might be excessive. I had my hair seriously lightened when I was 15. I got my period at 13. I didn't have any problems.
It might help you to call a beauty salon that specializes in hair color and ask their opinions. In the meantime, there are some temporary dyes that come in great shades of red that you can try out until you can do something more permanent. A great bonus to those is that you can change them as often as you want.

Hi there,
Saw the answer on the coloring a child's hair question and thought I would send you a couple things:
From the actual proctor and gamble site:
"Question 8: Are hair dyes safe for children:
Hair dyes are not recommended to be used on children.
It is also not advisable to highlight or bleach a child's either at home or in a salon. If a child's hair has already been colored, highlighted or bleached, we recommend it not be repeated. "

Also: about.com has a fascinating write-up on this:

... and the conclusion is that anyone who is prepubescent should absolutely not have their hair colored. It has to do with the changes that haven't yet happened to the scalp and hair follicles.
The instructions also say never to use it on a child... and by child they mean someone who hasn't completed puberty. (At LEAST 3 years after you get your period.)
You owe your mom an apology. :-)
P.S. My mom was a beautician, and this is serious enough that if she would have colored your hair, even with your mom standing right there telling her to, she would have been FIRED for doing it!
