Cherish and Cayleen came over on Wednesday and we highlighted her hair. I was nervous about it because even though I worked in a salon during high school I have never done anything like this before. She bought the bleach and developer from Sallys and we used regular kitchen tin foil and gave it a try.
I get my hair highlighted by my sister regularly and I have also used a box to color my hair. But I have friends who have never colored their hair at all. I think it is fun to try different colors and styles. Now I am thinking about going red to match my kids but I don't know I am ready yet. Should I? I figure that it is only hair and if it doesn't look good it will always grow back and I can start with my natural color again. That is why I think I will let my kids do whatever they want with their hair. Would you let your kids do something crazy with their hair?

I've never colored my hair, and I won't at least until I start going gray. Michael dyed his hair in high school. We're planning on adopting his mom's rule with hair color. You can dye it a naturally occurring hair color (blonde, brown, black, red), but no blues, purples, greens, etc.
When my daughters were in their teens I "forbid" them from ever doing anything to their hair. "It's beautiful the way it is" type of mentality. Then after the first time I had highlights, I changed my tune. Shannon played with highlights a few times and Corinne did too, but neither got hooked like me. I tried to convince Scott to give it a try to maintain his blonde, but he refused. You go girl!
i figure, for my kids, if hair is their biggest rebellion, then life is good. but coming from a mom with bright blue highlights, that might not mean so much :)
When I was growing up my parents made me have long hair (actually longer than it is now) and I hate it. This is why I let me kids do pretty much whatever they want as long as it's not too extreme like bright pink/blue. Natural colors is what we let them do and whatever cut they like.
I think you did a good job especially for being your first time. Thanks!
Having red hair, I am scared to dye it for fear it'd turn green like Anne of Green Gables. JK I like when people ask me if it is my natural color and when I say they're in awe. Maybe after I get it cut I will at least highlight it and yes do a peek a boo dye with blue or green. Seriously. As far as my kids go, when they are older, it depends on how extreme they want to go then we'll negotiate.
I think you'll look great as a redhead. Why not give it a try? As for me, I have had highlights a couple of times, but OBVIOUSLY I didn't get hooked. My children did what they wanted regardless of my opinions. I haven't seen my daughters' natural hair color in years.
