How old was your daughter when you allowed her to get highlights in her hair?

Curious geographic location for those responding. Don't know if still the case, but years ago in south was no big deal at all and part of a haircut. Getting highlights by 4th grade was no different than getting new shoes for new school year (and parents paid).

In the deep south where it's cheap, sure.
Not here.

Yes, it was deep south and not just below Mason-Dixon line south.

Lol this could be my kid. We got experimental during the pandemic and did it ourselves. All that time together and you are doing at home high lights on your 4th grader.

In 6th grade my DD got purple/pink streaks twice; I paid for it at Bubbles. They bleached pieces of hair hair, then applied the color - so when the color washed out she was left with light streaks that looked like highlights. It dried out her hair a bit, so next time I would buy hydrating shampoo, conditioner, etc.

Save the money for when they are older, unless you do it yourself. People who live in places where this is more affordable may do it, here, it's just not practical unless dd has a job.

I wouldn't pay for it, but otherwise...probably 10 or 11? Hair is just not a big deal to me. It will grow out. What's the big deal?

12. I paid ( because how could she at that age). Also, my daughter has dark brown hair. I wanted it done professionally so she didn't damage it. It's just hair and it grows out, it was kinda like pick your battles, This one was an easy choice, She did it twice and not ever again until she was 18.

10. I paid. Goes every 8 weeks. 13 now.

FYI, anytime you lighten your hair chemically with permanent dye it damages it. Whether boxed or professional.

Stick with semi or demi if you don’t want damage- but they only deposit color and don’t lighten

Shocked? Really? Stop clutching your pearls, Karen.

You're so right, children need thongs by the age of 8 as well.

I do t have daughters but my mom took me when I was 11 as a birthday gift. They were just partial highlights and I didn’t go again.

Why are you sexualizing highlights? I think it’s perfectly acceptable for a 13 year old to try out a few subtle highlights.

I don't even have enough money to have my own hair highlighted so my kid can get it done when she can pay for it herself.
