Agree with all this.

If she has to color her hair, use a semi-permanent color which should be less harsh on her hair. It will wash out over time though.
None of this is true. If your hair is dry and brittle from coloring, you’re doing it wrong.
Or you are using a lot of product to hide the fact that your hair is damaged.

They are good for the hair, and it will eventually fade out, as it’s a color conditioner and not a permanent dye. They even have a black, so she can test it out to see if that’s the look she’s going for.
This is good advice! Black hair dye is really hard to dye back and/or remove, so testing the look first is a good idea.

It's a thing with teens.
I was not allowed to dye my hair and now dye it all sorts of colors as a middle aged woman. Best to let her do this as a teen.

Agree with this. My dad was psycho about me dying my hair as a teen, which made me want to do it more. I have dark brown hair and wanted to dye it auburn, so not extreme. He threw a fit and I dyed it purple. As in, bleached, then manic panic bright purple.

All of my DDs friends have colored their hair. Right now, DDs hair is black with a stripe of green in the front. I DIY'd it and it isn't perfect but it looks fine. It's not like we are going anywhere anyway.
Going darker is something you can do at home.

This was not born out by the extensive Harvard study using the data of an n=117,200 subset of women in the Nurses’ Health Study, especially not for non-ammonia dyes.
