I just...


Recommended Posts

...dyed my 10 year old daughter's hair purple.

 

I wonder what her mother will say when she wakes up in the morning?

 

My daughter went to her first competition of the season last weekend (her second season competing) and brought home 2nd place in all three disciplines she shot in, primitive archery (recurve,) BB and Target Air. I asked her what she wanted as a reward. She wanted to dye her hair purple for the summer. Today was the last day of school, so after her 'promotion' from Elementary to Middle School this morning, I decided that we could dye her hair purple. 

Her mother is unaware.

 

Tomorrow is going to be very exciting.

Bravo! My little girl is only 3 and hasn't seen much if any dyed hair out in public around town. I'll be in the same boat probably one day. How do schools take the alternative hair colors these days? Can't believe my son is done for the year today.

My kids' middle school bans any "non-natural" hair color. Of course all that platinum blonde is natural that the girls have...sure, right.

If she don't like that hair on her child that is the last thing he will be getting to do.

There are certain cues in how he phrased the OP that says he doesn't do that anymore anyways. :lol: 

Speaking of which, 

Dude, how'd it go?

So when she woke up in the morning, I warned her before she left the bedroom. "I dyed the Heathen's hair purple."

 

She just mumbled and left the room.

 

The dye I used is semi-permanent. I didn't bleach it first, it was designed to go over the natural hair color. The wife's response was something along the lines of "... as long as it comes out by the time school starts..."

 

I count that as a win.

 

For the record, I am a reformed punk. I dyed my hair blue for my senior yearbook pictures (the only once that were color back in those days.) I wore my hair way past my shoulders until just a few years ago. And it has been neon blue, neon green, neon red, blonde, black, etc... At one point and time I had anything that could be pierced, pierced. 37 of them to be precise. Yes. Four times for those wondering. I am covered head to toe in tattoos. Both of my ears are currently gauged to 5/8" and those are my only piercings now.

There are several here that have met me, and everyone has been awesome, but I am sure that I am not what someone expects.

 

In short, I embrace individuality. I was thrilled when my daughter suggested dying her hair. I never pressured her toward it. Same as when she asked to get her ears pierced, at seven or eight I believe. I never mentioned or pushed for it. I just waited for her to ask.

 

That is how she got into shooting sports. I made her play soccer for four years, and she hated it. She asked on her own to join the 4H Shooting Sports Team as soon as she was old enough. I told her that in addition to mandatory musical extra curricular activities (orchestra and band) she had to have one other one. She chose shooting sports. And she is a rock star at it. With purple hair.
