[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're talking about just the ends, right?

You are going to have to bleach it, but if her hair is long enough why not try it?  If it doesn't go well, or when it starts to look bad, you can just cut the ends off.

Yes - just the ends.  She's not looking for bright pink hair!  LOL Just for fun.  She really wants color so I can't convince her of a blue/purple - she wants a pink shade.  She has long hair yes and she's looking for more than one strand.

I don't know anything about this stuff - I thought maybe the bleaching would ultimately still damage her hair? I know that a lot of salons won't dye teen hair up till a certain age.  Thanks everyone!![/quote]

Yes, bleaching will damage her hair. It uses a chemical reaction to strip out pigment. Think how spilling bleach on an item of clothing can result in little pinprick holes. Bleaching hair is not dissimilar. It will change the texture of the parts of her hair that touches it and the hair will become more coarse and porous.

We live in an area that is majority Asian/mixed Asian kids. My DD doesn’t want to dye her hair but a lot of her friends have done it in the past. The girls who dye their hair bleach just the ends so they can grow it out and cut off the damage later, or they bleach one piece under and in the back so it shows when hair is pulled up in a ponytail for sports but isn’t visible if hair is down at school or around the aunties. And that way, if it has to be cut due to really bad damage, it’s not a face-framing piece and isn’t visible. [/quote]
