I'm thinking of using Sun-In on my four year old's hair

The roots currently bear no relation to the ends and I'm thinking of spraying a bit of sun in into it

Am I being unreasonable?

'But she'd look so much cuter if she was blonde' Hmm

How shallow are you OP?

notso · 06/08/2011 16:38

Can you still get sun-in?

I used it on my arm hairs when I was about 14, it turned them ginger!

OP why not just do a grade one all over?

If you want her to look more loveable you have to keep her small.

Limit food, bind her feet, put a brick on top of her head. That should do it.

you can grow an amoeba in a petri dish

Just sayin......

Is your DD not lovable for who she is? Why does her hair colour come into it?

MilkNoSugarPlease · 06/08/2011 16:41

Notso you can, except it turned my arm and leg hairs ginger also!!

why are you all being so mean to me?

I simply want her to look her best

would highlights be better?
She looked lovely last year with a little tan and her lovely blonde hair
now she's all dark and dull, I just want to brighten her up

yup, turns hair a brassy ginger colour, and also frazzles it to the texture of wire wool

to be honest

i'd love her to have highlights but I'm not sure she'd sit still so I figured I'd do it myself
I'll post some pictures once it's done

I wouldn't be overly smug about correcting someone else's grammar to be honest, bearing in mind you are the one who appears to want to bleach her daughter's hair because she isn't looking cute enough. You may want to start researching therapists for your daughter's future self esteem issues. I feel that apostrophe correction should be the least of your concerns.

It's going to take more than Sun In to turn Jennifer Aniston into a four year old pageant contestant.
