wow that sounds like a really cool color! I'm a mom and my daughter has worn so many different colors I can't count. She's back to her original color and colors it on special occasions. I think that parents freak out because they think it's weird and they don't want the neighbors to think that their kids are strange. Just my theory. i color my hair too. my natural color is dark brown and I color it light golden brown. I've done that since my daughter was in high school. I just got tired of the same old color. I guess I'm a little different from some of the parents. your parents shouldn't worry because it's not permanent and it washes out in ten shampoos. if you can talk them into it, I say go for it!

well you could try to talk them into it. Try paying for it with your own money if your not already. Give them a good reason to let you do it. Try not to get in trouble but debate with them. Try to tell them something worse that could happen.

I never understood the reason why my parents wouldn't allow me to dye my hair either. Especially if it's the wash out kind. Got no help for you on this one. If I were your mom I'd let you. It's a part of self expression.

Your parents probably are proud of the way you are and u are a creation of them. Another reason it might be is they fear you rebeling???:S Try to bargin with them or ask for somethin worse then say well u'll satisfy with the non-permanent hair colour. Then there is always rebelion and just dye it anyways

kids mostly do a horrible job of coloring hair. it looks steaky, and stains everything your touch. then it grows out forever and leaves a "line" of colors. SO GHETTO

Sorry to say but your parents brought you into this world and are responsible for you until your of legal age. When you turn 18 there isn't a thing they can do about it. You just need to chill out till then and then do what you want to do! I know that's not what you want to hear but if i did that then I wouldn't be helping you. Good Luck and Patience!

This is a great question...

and important one

As a busy hair stylist and Colorist in malibu California (and the mom of 2 girls) I spent years trying to teach parents that the least harmful thing a child can do to their body is "color" their hair. It is 100% fully reversible...(you can cut it off, etc) ... and if hair color is the worst thing they ever have to worry about they should consider themselves lucky....

There is just a lot worse things than hair color.

As a teen every child has a phase they go thru where they want to express themself. . . its part of growing up.... some pierce their ears, some color their hair. some get tattoos, some do a lot worse things....

IT IS PART OF GROWING UP, and is fully reversible....

Tell them you are using "semi-permanent color" which means it shampoos out over time....

truthfully...i would highly NOT reccomend any brand that comes in a box.... not because I care about anything other than YOUR HAIR....

those box kits ruin hair...

if your hair is dark brown....just buy some manic panic in purple and put that on a 1 inch piece underneath...at least this way it won't ruin your hair....

I don't understand parents that say something as silly as that, maybe read them what I wrote if you think they might listen....I did the color of thousands of kids your age and about once a month i would come across this same problem, some i could get to understand my theory...some I couldn't . . . .

Its just an artistic expression, that's all......
