+1. I don’t think OP would’ve proposed it if he were married to someone who’d freak out about it.

My 3rd grader absolutely has friends who’ve dyed their hair, same with several neighbors (DC). Heck, I was just talking to a dad down the street who had his hair dyed blue. I’d be okay with it if my husband and daughter did this—would be cute as long as eventually washes out. Something new to do during quarantine.

Your marriage was already in trouble, correct?
You are evil.

But bleaching sounds too much trouble nd risk than I could handle so will try overtone and wax as suggested.

The truth comes out. This is a really bad idea. You do not alter your daughter’s hair in any way without her Mom’s approval. WTF are you thinking???

Nah, go for it, Pops. It'll wash out and mom can just be mad.

Completely disagree. You don’t make decisions like this without your spouse.

Do the temporary paint on dye

How do you prevent staining on clothes, towels, the bathtub, etc?

I would personally be okay with clip on extensions or chalk, but if my husband didn’t consult me first, I would be livid.

As another mom, I would not be livid. I'd be happy that dad is doing something fun and special with daughter.

+2, really true

Happened to my blonde nieces. They started with purple and green hair and now have tattoos all over their bodies. Now that they are aging and have their own children they look absurd.

I have 10 tattoos and have never in my entire life dyed my hair. So that cancels out one of your blonde nieces.

And I dyed my hair purple and dark red several times as a tween and teen and I have zero tattoos. This all cancels out the "blond nieces" anecdote.

Overtone or something like Common Panda. You don’t want to bleach anything.

Same. With the caveat that of mom has been for it and you have been the roadblock, it could be a fun surprise. But you need to know that mom is 100%?on board.
