No but you simply must make sure to take him to a nail bar so he can have some acrylics fitted

Let him play in the sun, with sunscreen to protect his skin.

Yes, he has been for a pedicure already Quattro

He wears a hat in the sun. He's nearly 4 and only just had his blonde locks cut off. I think I must say goodbye to them forever now

Im' not a troll btw, it's monkeytrews

I have found that a couple of weeks without a sunhat (she's lost two and I'm resisting buying another) has done wonders for little dd's highlights!

So I'm a better parent leaving him sunhatless rather than the squirt? That soudns chippy. I's not.

oh this brings back memories of when i was a teenager....the lemon juice thing never worked..always attracted the wasps too.

Sun-in was actually ok in my hair...it did go a good shade of blonde..after buying zillions of bottles!..lol

goodness me...was so lucky it didn't all fall out!

Sun-in is great.

If you want it to turn orange, and then get progressively more orange as the weeks pass.

dd1's hair goes goldy in the sun. since we moved to the west side of the country, it's mostly stayed chesnut .

i'm tempted to try one of those LUSH shampoos on her for goldy hair or rinsing it with chamomile tea.

3 yr old and you want to artificially dye his hair as you prefer him really blonde...
Grab the hardhat because you are gonna get slated on here!

you just got to let it go and chalk it up to another part of growing up.



still he hasn't chosen to highlight it in a boy band fashion himself yet, you have that to look forward to
