My 11 year old child wants hi lights, but i told her no because when i went to a salon i asked if an 11 year old child would be able to get hi lights and she said “no.” so, she started to call around different salons, and asked if it damaged her hair, most people said no and one person said it depend on which color.

But does it damage her hair?

I’m 13 and for my 13th Birthday I had my Hair Highlighted, I have Light brown hair With caramel and Normal Blonde Highlights In it does Look really Nice, also my hair is all diffrent Lengths.
To be fair Kids should have the right to say what they want because it’s there Hair at the end of the day and it’ll be there Mistake but it’s also there Parents Choice because no Parent wants to go out seeing there Child Lookign like a Complete fool with Hair that does not look right, you want your kids looking Nice, what I suggest is to Get some of them Hair Mascaras and try them out before getting it done for real.
there is somethin gi do want to know though , would Light Pink and Light Blue look good together about Half way down your hair on both sides at the front of your hair?

Well, I am a 14 year old girl, and I have been asking my mom for highlights since I was about 11. She said that on my 15th birthday, I could get highlights. I have seen highlights on younger kids, and it doesn’t look good- they are too young. I think 13-14 is a good age. And I do agree with others- make them earn it. I think I have earned my highlights, since my GPA is a 4.0 . It is wrong to not let them have it at all, because then at 18 in college they will do some crazy color and you will be the one blamed.

I’m a 11 year old girl turnin 12 in a few months and i want highlights really bad but my mom said i have to wait till im 13. i think its fine at the age 12 and up. i want them for my birthday because its in the summer so it wont matter school wise. i was thinking for when school comes i could get like a light light brown cause my hair is darkish brown so it wont be any trouble with the school.(i hope) i keep on trying to convince my mom but she wont nudge she told me that i can get them if i get straight A’s (ya rite) but anyways if anyone agrees with me ill show my mom and hopefully she will change her mind.

I am 11. My best friend has hair-stylist parents. My mom said i could get them when i was 13, but i was thinking of getting dark blond low-lights this summer, i want to ask for them for my birthday =). I got a perm going into 5th grade and it didnt horribly damage my hair. Well i guess it kinda did, but it was really long and i wanted it cut so-voila! It worked out fine and now i am growing it out again. If you reeealy dont want ur kid to get highlights/lowlights then at Claire’s they have hair mascara and hair sticks. They have them in pink and light blue. You only have to do one or two streaks. Plus it comes out in like two washes. I am gonna get some. At ‘Kids Hair’ they also have ‘hair streakers’ in red, blue, green, pink, etc. If you dont trust ‘Kids Hair’ then-wow.

I think 11 year olds should be able to get highlights b-cause it gives them confidence. My 11 year old is getting them but what color she wants either blonde, gold or funky colors any suggestions???

I cannot believe how many young girls are getting all of these harsh chemical processes done! I am a 22 year old hairstylist and I feel so uncomfortable when I see such a young pretty 11 year old girl in the chair next to me getting blonde highlights! I think they should wait until high school at least! Little girls are losing their youth younger and younger…I suggest adding in a couple of fun extensions for sure. Ps. as far as perms, they are far more damaging than color in most cases.

I think its a grate way for them to express themself. I let my 16 year old die her hair and my 14 year old started asking when she was 10, I let he die her hair twice but now she wants streaks done. My sister is willing to do it at her home because she thinks it will look grate on her. I personaly don’t think she should get it done but its her choice she will do it sooner or later and I prefer her to do it sooner. I say let them do it if they pay for it, or they can forget it.
