My hair was purple when I was 16. I would never tell somebody they couldn't dye it.
would you let your daughter dye her hair in this instance???

My family is super close too but we really don't give a shit what colour of hair everyone has. It seems like a really weird thing to get all worked up
about. It's just hair dye, lol, it will either fade out or grow out.

Yeah this is an odd thing to be "furious" about. Odd to even be upset about. She's not pregnant, disfigured, tattooed, etc.
Even "permanent" hair color isn't permanent, because, like someone else said, hair grows out. If I were in your family, I would advise everyone to keep their opinions to themselves. Teenagers are particularly sensitive about their appearance to begin with, but then to have the entire family in a hissy fit over her hair, and potentially someone saying something to or about her hair, is only going to make her feel bad, and that's not what family is supposed to be about. Family is supposed to support and uplift one another, not dog on and drag someone down because they don't appreciate their "distinct and difficult to replicate" hair color

But really, in all seriousness.
I really want to see this hair color that's gotten everyone's panties in a twist! Really! |

I don't the logic of not letting her dye it cuz it's such a rare color. All the more reason to try something different. My sister used to get all sorts
of weird attention because of her long red hair. I would totally understand if your cousin gets that too and is sick of it.

Of course.
It's not like she owes it to the world to show off her oh-so-distinct natural color. |

If I had ANY kind of red hair, I'd be all over dying that shit.
My little sister has red hair and it's almost an embarrassing color. |

Sounds like the family is too much in the parents business if they think they have the right to be furious over allowing their own 16 year old daughter to dye
her hair. And really, people need some perspective. Hair color grows out. Its not like they let her get married to some 50 year old man.

I actually LOVE red hair, but I am also a big fan of picking your battles with teenagers. I never understood why dyeing hair is such a huge issue for parents
that they would cause huge battles or punish teenagers for wanting to do it. I would be open to let my kids experiment with their hair and probably take
BUNCHES of picture to embarrass them with afterward!

I don't think it's a big deal. Her hair will grow back. My parents used to let me dye my hair however I wanted and get piercings, but they said nothing
permanent and that was the one rule. So I went nuts from 16-20, but all I have to show for it now at 26 is a few faint piercing scars. Meanwhile a lot of my
friends with stricter parents were right at the tattoo parlor the day they turned 18 and now are stuck with some meaningless tattoos they got just because. My
friend Heidi is actually in the process of having her moon and stars tramp stamp removed ... I think it's good to give teenagers a little freedom, but with
limits.

Maybe if the whole family didn't make a huge deal out of the girl's special hair color she would not have wanted to change it in the first place. It
seems maybe she's just sick and tired of standing out like a sore thumb and having everyone make a big deal about it.

Hair color washes out and hair grows. To be furious over it is absolutely a waste of time, energy, and just stupid.

I need to see this so called hair color you can't replicate.
And I would let her. I had to wait til I was 16 to straighten my hair and I don't regret that shit one bit.

Some people don't take compliments well. I could see how that could get annoying after awhile. It would for me.

Well, she probably dyed her hair just because she wanted to do something different, not because she got sick of being complimented.

Hair grows back. And it's her hair. Push her too much and she just might cut all that hair off just to spite yall.
You know the saying "choose your battles"? I'd say this is one to just let go. Save the energy for if/when she drinks or does some behavior that will actually be harmful. |
