to have got angry at her? hair dye kid ?

[TysonsMummy]

this woman in the cresh said it can be bad for toddles if you put dye in there hair but on tyson its only a little bit of semi permenant on the tips of his hair its got no bad chemicals in its 1 that dont contain them !! my child my rules i was like well im sure your not perfect yourself no way and she was like im just saying i said WELL DONT JUST SAY cuz i dont want to hear your shit !! and then i said about how i like her childs coat and it looks like tysons and she couldnt take the complament i can tell

the only advice I have OP is that you save what little cash you can by not forking out for hair dye and get yourself some spelling and grammar tuition. I myself offer this service on the side but I don't think you could afford my hourly rate

this is nasty.

The OP was upset about a comment directed at her child, the hair dye could be harmless paint for all we know, and yet plenty of posters feel it's acceptable to criticise the OP's parenting based on a bit of colour on the tips of the child's hair.

We don't even know exactly what the hair dye is or what's in it. Is a bit of colour on the tip of a bit of hair really going to poison the child?!

I have. I see the red angry bump covered scalp from my mother colouring my hair at an early age.

I'm not perfect, but learning to take on board new information and admit mistakes is a large part of being an adult and a decent person. I'm giving you information as a child whose hair was coloured from an early age by a hairdresser mother - all the hair colouring Sallys' sell are too harsh for kids' scalps. It is not food colouring, it's extremely concentrated and combined with other chemicals to make it stick. This raises the risk of skin conditions for your child in the future that they will have to live with the rest of their lives just for some fun. There are far less harmful ways to have the same fun.

And, if your OP is accurate, you were very unreasonable to swear at the other mother, especially in front of the children.

Perhaps there is no cause to pull it. The OP could be genuinely convinced of the righteousness of her beliefs and is prepared to continue to justify her choices.
As I said, I have worked in areas where this would be the norm, colourants, piercings, coke and MaccyD's for breakfast.

mrswolowit i reckon sweets are less healthy than a bit of colour on the tips of his hair but i bet you dont attack them for that do ya

oh god is this STILL going on.

seriously.

dying your childs hair makes you an idiot. You claim it is natural, it may be, but it is still aimed at adult hair, adult skin, and it still contains chemicals.

fun is dressing up. fun is face paints that wash off at the end of the day. Fun in colouring childrens hair is the sticky type of hair paint that washes out at the end of the day. Again, that contains chemicals. and it is horrid horrid stuff that makes the childs hair sticky and clumpy and makes it feel funny - I know this from using it on red nose day a few years back when they made it 'mad hair day'. I let my daughters have it.....god it was dreadful, and the reactions from some children is the reason why they never did it again.....they realised how irresponsible they were marketing it.

If you are using something that washes straight out, then your poor son.....his hair must look and feel quite rank. And the cost.....how much must you be spending??

if it is staying in beyond one wash, then is it then a permanent or semi permanent. Ergo, irresponsible.

grrrargh i didnt shout it no kids could hear .....

She said that it can be bad for toddlers to put dye in their hair, and you swore aggressively at her.
That is an OTT response, whether there were children in earshot or not.

Is this thread still here?? Was it the mnhq night out last night??

mrswolowit answer me then

where does it say i swore agressivaly ?

Narked I love that YouTube clip it's been ages since I've seen it ;)

'I don't want to hear your shit' is aggressive swearing in my book.
Probably not yours.

It is possible to put hair dye on without touching the scalp and therefore no chemicals will get onto the skin. The dye will damage the hair but hair is dead anyway once it has grown. It won't seep through the hair into the skin, so it is safe.

Whether it is right or not is a different matter but it is safe.

I've dyed dd1's hair for fun over summer holidays and not gotten any on her skin, however dd1 is not three and it is not something we do regularly.

I do know mums who are similar to the op and they are generally good mums.

I think OP is getting a bit harshly treat here. You might not agree with her choices but she didn't/isn't endangering her child.

Although I have yet to find a hair dye that contains absolutely no chemicals.

She doesn't need dollies, she has babies.

I go away for a few months and this is what I come back to?

rubs eyes

tantrums im saying they can both be harm to lil ones but if some1 went up to some1 & said dont do that then it would be a diffrent story
so a bit of colour of the tips of hair and breastfeed for a year is worse then bottle feed and no dye ?? any way that aint the point cuz i never go up to mums n say they are wrong n i dont call mums bad mums n idiots on the internet unlike you lot !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
