Jules, I did the same a couple of years later than her - my opinion is let her, it's not a massive deal, it will grow back, or she can strip the black out.. I went from black to blonde - yes it was bad for my hair, but it was ok if you get the right hairdresser.. she'll hold it against you forever if you don't let her - she wants to express herself - there could be bigger and more dangerous battles than hair colour I think personally xxx
Been there, done that. Black is bad for blonde hair so get a hairdresser to do it, I recommend the Inoa range which is conditioning. Willis B do it as do many others. Also look into colour washes or sprays to trial it first. Peckham have lots of wig shops!

Thank you both. I didn't think I'd be able to say no, for reasons stated but she's been given alternatives....

I sent her to her sister's room -she's got an app whet you can play with make up /hair colour etc. She has now opted for a new style and highlights.... I feel I like I've been given a reprieve.


Until the next thing. I guess the need for independence is strong, given she sees her older sister having more freedom.

Glad it's averted! ps if she goes down that train of thought again from blonde to black - when I did it that way around I think I had to dye mine red first before black to put the pigment in otherwise could go green ... definitely needs a professional job - good luck!

It's actually illegal to use dye in your hair until you are 16, have a look at the packets and see what they say. I also talked to a hairdresser about dying hair under 16 and they wouldn't do it.Read this BBC article on the subject

My daughter age 14 wants to dye her hair! I've used this as a way of saying no.

It isn't illegal; salons are just advised against it because the products have not been tested on people under 16 and there is a possibility (as with anyone) of a dermatological reaction. It is a precaution only.
Having similar discussions here with my 14 year old. I think I?ve almost agreed to a semi permanent dye as a compromise. Can anyone suggest what to use? Thinking of doing it at home but have no clue... dark brown hair going red.

Having Auburn hair, my eldest daughter, when at university dyed her hair black, it did not suit her, went to a hair dresser to get the dye out some time later. Hair never returned to the beautiful auburn colour and went and stayed at non descript brown. Her daughter, a strawberry blond, did the same but did not use a permanent dye, so her hair returned to a pale ginger colour - she now uses mainly red semi permanent dyes of different shades.

Youngest daughter with very dark brown hair had no desire throughout her teenage and university years to change colouring. Now a mum of 2 is currently red, previously aubergine.


I suggest highlights or low lights as a compromise for a full head colouring. Ward of warning - schools can come down heavily on changes in hair colouring.

I tried to do this when I was a teenager. My parents didn't ban me, they just said I'd have to pay to get it done out of my own money. I saved all my wages from babysitting etc and went to see some hairdressers. They all refused to do it. I'm glad now!
It's also worth checking if the school has any rules about dyed hair. I worked in a school which had this to avoid kids making statements with their hair. While highlights and similar changes may go unnoticed (can be debated whether they should!), a major change like blond to black could spark a reaction.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
