There have been pros and cons to youngsters coloring their hair rampant shades and creating unusual appearances.
Some parents encouage this and even participate. Other parents and grandparents object. I wrote about this in the post, If Your Grandchild Has Weird Hair Color, and received an enlightening comment from Aimee that I’d like to share.
Just let them do it and enjoy their expression of uniqueness and creativity. Its just
hair. It will grow back if they wish it to. I’m 36 and in the 80’s it was cool to have
colored hair. My parents were Christian and refused to let me follow the
trend. Oddly enough, now that I’m well into my 30’s and they are no longer extremists,
they both think that my hot pink striped short black hair is cool. If it wasn’t for the
fact that I’m a graphic artist, I don’t think I’d have been able to pull it off, but I am
glad I did. So maybe what I’m saying is that if you just let them do it while they’re
still kids you won’t have a 36 year old with hot pink hair!
What do you think? Often if you do stress about it a great deal, the youngsters will be more determined to go to the extreme than if you let them experiment, if it doesn’t affect their values.
