To be gobsmacked....

That my friend had dyed her 3yo DD's hair bright red

You can tell it's not spray on because there are pics of it still wet just after she has dyed it.

Am completely

Red! But that is so last year. We are all doing magenta.

OMG!

My SIL is a reception teacher and a few years ago had a girl in her class whose mum had bleached her hair....

Poor children, why can't they just stay as children for a bit?

Absolutely no need.

Blardy ridiculous.

Don't most redheaded children want different coloured hair?

Well at least it's not permenant, so not as bad as piercings. In fact it's really just like those parents who get track lines shaved into their little boy's heads, or gel their baby's hair, and all the other things that go with using your kids as fashion accessories.

I spray painted by 4 year olds hair pink and blue for children in need but properly dyeing hair????

OMG! That is truly ridiculous.

I think its bad enough that some of the older children in primary school at DS1's school have streaks in their hair. If they are in primary school they chould have natural hair.

I don't know if it is permanent...

I am guessing so because it is the same colour the mum has on her hair and am guessing it is just what was left over from her hair, and red doesn't really stay bright for very long unless you use a permanent (I dyed mine pillar-box red for years)

what age do people think is appropriate for a child to have dye/hilights? I was thinking start of secondary school. Is that madness?

I was allowed highlights for my 15th birthday, i had wanted them for ages and I loved them

Why?
Why would someone do that?

Have you asked her?

A child at nursery had her hair dyed pink and shaved into a mohican
