DD dyed her hair pink and I’m not mad but am concerned

[Anonymous]

When my dd was 16 I took her to a salon when she wanted to dye her hair pink. It grew out and that was the end of that.

In my area most of the girls go through that phase at 10-12 and are long done by 16 unless they are embracing an alternative look/culture long-term.

Dye causes dementia and has been linked to other mental disorders.

Smart move.

Most hair dye is really toxic and it is totally unregulated.

Is this a wash-out color on blonde hair or did she have to bleach dark hair to dye it pink? If the latter, offer to help her get it dyed back to her natural color when she gets sick of the pink.

Yet no one posts panicking when a woman in her 30s or 40s dyes her hair to cover the Grey. Instead they get judged if they don't do that.

OP here. Yes I do. When I was growing up this was the conventionally accepted belief in that time and place. That dyeing your hair an unnatural color is a sign of deeper problems.

Is she grossly overweight? That’s the demographic I usually see the unnatural colored hair on. Maybe she wants to increase her self esteem so people will notice her?

Seriously, have you ever been to a middle school? What isolated country are people on this thread posting from?

DCUM is full of traditional old-school pearl-clutchers.

I don’t care for vivid hair dye (I think it’s hard to pull off unless you pay a top colorist a LOT of money to make it look good and not patchy) but to jump to such a conclusion about the state of someone’s mental health is wild.

I think OP might be on the tradwife/redpill algo on social media. It’s rotting her brain.

But what about your child desires people to look at them askance? It’s clearly some sort of attention seeking behavior.

No way would this fly if the child is on my payroll.

DP. Do you really want every single person in the world to conform to some arbitrary standards about what you should wear and what color your hair should be? Who gets to decide that?

Just relax a little bit. Life can be so much more fun with a little color, and some colorful people.

My concern would be the risk to our company of hiring someone with such an obvious sign of mental illness. They are of course welcome to work elsewhere.
