Hair Highlighting For 15 Yr Old?

[Totus Tuus]

I guess it depends on her motive. I would be concerned that she'd rely on the highlights to make her feel pretty, but I think you could monitor where it goes after the first dye job. If she feels she really needs to get them again, there might be a problem. But if she just wants it as an occasional thing I don't think it's probably a big deal. I never wanted highlights because I don't like how they look when they're growing out (and I have natural highlights). That might be something to take into consideration as well.

She can just highlight it with Kool-aid. It comes out in a few days and its fun. Red is awesome.

That's what I want to know!

Not that I have any idea what I am talking baout with regards to highlights--but I feel like they should cost less than 100 bucks. I'm a cheap--o, so I'd probably be a mean mean jerk and say no.

Probably because it takes so long to have them done at a salon. You can do it yourself at home for about $10.

That's how I've usually done them. Just don't do the ones with the combs.

She wants to get her HAIR HIGHLIGHTED!?!?!

Make her shave her head in penance of this tom-foolery.

as long as its not like a crazy lime green or hot pink, i dont see why not. i have brunette hair and like it just the way it is. mayb she wants too check out some alternate new looks.

i remembe amost a whole ten years ago when i was in high school there were a number of girls with highlights in their hair. This is not condoning it, what i mean to say i that nowadays i do not seem to see that nearly as much. It is passing out of style is my impression, so it doesnt make sense that a teenager, as teenagers often try to be in style, is interested in highlights.
i personally prefer girls with dark natural hair, but i am not looking

[quote name='mom25angels' post='1427738' date='Dec 1 2007, 11:01 AM']OK....since this is my first time having a daughter(or anyone) turn 15<gasp>, should I allow her to have her hair highlighted? She asked for it for her birthday. Silly question but is on my mind. She is a lovely girl....doesn't wear make-up(hasn't asked yet). She practically lives in a barn with her horse, so I am pretty sure it's not for a boy.

Ugh!! Sometimes this parenthood thing is hard....sweating the small stuff is sometimes harder than the biggies.[/quote]


You should let her I have mine highlighted and I love it... red and blonde go together kind of well actually lol. Who knew? Anyway, my mom brought me to get it done for my Confirmation and it's growing out so I'm gettng it done again.

What is wrong with getting highlights?

If it's for a birthday present, and she really wants it... why not (if you can afford it)? It isn't against Catholic moral teaching to dye your hair. At least she isn't asking for a Victoria Secret's gift card (at that age), if she did, then you would have something to worry about.

In general... I personally love it when a woman does different things with her hair, it gives a sense of variety and makes things a little more interesting.

As a cheap, penny-pinching jerkface, I am rooting for this option!

You made me laugh. Really hard.

Thank you.

That really depends on the color. If I had a 15yr old daughter, I would be more likely to let her get pink or green, or whatever other unnatural color, than let her get a natural one. If she got pink or green, then I would know beyond all shadow of a doubt that it wasn't for "sex-appeal" or to look more attractive to guys. With "normal" highlights, you can't be sure.

edit in - just be mindful of the rules of her school regarding hair.

Well, I'm pretty sure you don't have a teenage girl!!! She would never speak to me again and I'd have to drug her to keep her in the chair!!!!

Woman yes, teenager no. They have enough natural sex appeal as it is.
