Advice on dying hair?? Help please!
Okay, Im 16 and Ive been getting highlights since I was 14, the first time I did it I didnt ask, my sister did them at her in-laws house.
My parents took well to the hair, they actually liked it and ever since ive kept getting highlights
Recently I chopped off me mid-back length hair and now its 3-4 inches long with bangs that swoop to the side and are down to my eyes
I want to start dying my hair, I have done it once, black, temporary, but I was only allowed for Halloween last year. I want to do permanent, if I cant Id settle with semi/demi permanent.
My first question is, how do I convince my parents to let me dye it?
My second question is how should I dye it, I dont want it to be just one color but i think its too short to do tips and I dont wanna keep doing skinny little highlights..
my parents definitely wont go for crazy colors, I want to try white with black, blue, or red in it either as tips or streaks but Is my hair too short for that?
Or should I do coon tails on my bangs? If so how do I do it??
Thanks :)

I used to dye my hair behind my parents backs too haha but then they found out about it. I just kept dying it and yeah they got mad but eventually they didn't care anymore and just let me do it now. but i highly suggest you talk to your parents about it.. be honest with them and tell them "its just hair".. its not like you're getting tattoos and piercings. You can chop off your hair or shave it off if they dont like it, whatever. its just hair so they need to chill out about it.
As for the hairstyle, I think a dark brown would be better. Black is too extreme I think. Only few people can pull it off.
Oh, a new trend that is really popular is having the bottom half of your hair 1 color, and then the top half of your hair another color.

Also, you can try hair extensions. They don't even have to be the ones that match your hair color.. they can be any color you want :) there's small hair extension pieces that come in lots of colors too (red, blue, pink etc). SO if you want one of those, you can tell your parents that the salon people just braid them in your hair. its not permanent and its not your real hair either. Another thing thats really cool and popular now is feather extensions. Same thing- the salon people braid it in your hair and its just a feather :) looks cool.

1 more thing- i HIGHLY suggest you go to a salon whenever you're doing ANYTHING to your hair. They know whats best for your hair and they can help a lot.

I HIGHLY recommend that you use an extremely dark brown, not black, the first time you dye it. Permament (and many "semi") black dyes are impossible to get out without stripping the hair. Just a heads up.
Anyway, try using the "it's just hair, it will grow back out" argument. Since your hair is so short now, it will have to be re-done anyways. I think red would look best. Blue tends to wash out to look greenish or cartoon-like, and white would just remind me of a skunk, to be honest. Also, it'd be really damaging to make your hair white after dyeing it so dark. Streaks would probably be the nicest, and would probably go over better than tips - highlights are a more "normal" look (for convincing your parents, haha).
Maybe do one thing at a time - dye it first, and then put streaks or tips in afterwards. I think this would be the best way for two reasons: it'll be better for your hair (giving you some time to deep condition and whatnot) and it will give your new style a chance to "grow on" your parents. Keep the discussion civil, and emphasize that it's just hair dye :)
