NP.

There is an extremely high correlation between people with oddly-dyed hair colors (green, pink, purple), and mental illness.

OP, you are good mom for being concerned and seeking to get your daughter the mental health support she needs.

This is a normal mile teenage experiment. It will fade or grow out in months.

It’s sad that she didn’t feel she could talk about it with you first and get your help (it’s pretty hard to do on your own.). I would start spending some one on one time with her exploring things SHES interested in (even if you dislike/disapprove.). You seem to be pretty quickly judgmental. But If she has a new friend group you have concerns about you need to dig into that more.

Wife is a successful surgeon and mom of 2 who regularly dies her hair purple/bright red/many different shades. Go home troll.

I'm a lawyer and have plenty of colleagues with funky hair colors (particularly the ends because you can pin it up if you're going into a more conservative environment).

I also have a couple colleagues who have full sleeve tattoos, FWIW.

If my child did this they would be grounded. If anything OP’s response is tame.

Wait help he understand. Grounded why?

Her church friends would disapprove and think she's a bad mom

Close. Her temple friends would disapprove.

+1 LOL. You aren’t pinning this particular overreaction on white people. Not today Satan.

You are nuts. You mean Hindu?

Do you know the process of stripping color from black/dark brown hair and how long it takes before you can have pink?

There is no way OP wouldn't be aware that her Indian kid wasn't having her hair dyed pink not to mention the cost

Also she is way to laid back about it to be an Indian mom who doesn't like pink hair

+1.

And the DD’s choice to do this behind her mother’s back suggests this is a cry for help.

Original OP might be white, we don’t know. She sounded more confused than anything. Most of us were responding to the first quote “If my child did this they would be grounded. If anything OP’s response is tame.” and the woman who kept going on about being a “freak.” That is not white/black/Hispanic American behavior nor is it European immigrant behavior …

I think her choice to do it behind her mother’s back suggests that her mom is judgmental and overly concerned with appearances.

Okay, but it is the take of someone from a strict religious community. Plenty of those around of many ethnicities even some of the ones you listed.

How sad this thread has turned into yet another hate-fest toward Asian/Indian people. It’s commonplace in College / University part of DCUM, so I guess it’s not surprising the same anti-Indian/Asian bigots are showing up here too.

It’s not just DCUM, it’s the entire democrat party in the U.S.

There's also a high correlation between having hyper controlling parents and being depressed.

Plenty of black haired people have pink streaks and magenta hair. It's not that hard to do with the right product and extensions. OP never said it was solid bubble gum pink.

We should all be -a little afraid- of what our mothers will think. As teenager, we should be

This. And that the teenager wants to separate herself from that.

It's best if teenagers get rebellion out of their system without any permanent changes OP.
