My kids are officially on Summer break, and I wanted to do something fun with their hair. Their school doesn’t allow “unnatural” hair color, so it will just be temporary for the summer.
In Gemma’s we did a semi-permanent pink on the tips and a couple chunks in the front. Guini got a fushia purple semi-permanent color in the front and sides, and Gavin got black on his tips. Gavin’s is permanent hair color because his natural red color doesn’t hold onto semi-permanent very well. We already told him that in August we will have to cut off any of the black that is left over for school, and he agreed.
I LOVE how their hair turned out! I hope that this becomes a fun tradition for us every summer:)
(*I understand that some people might think that they are too young to be dying their hair, but I really don’t see what your age has to do with changing your hair. As long as they love it, and my husband and I love it, that’s all that matters to me!)
I was 13 when I first dyed my hair – how about you?

Storm, I don’t even know what yours or Stephanie’s natural colors are.
I don’t even remember when my hair was it’s natural color last, I’ve been coloring mine since I was at least 15.

Oooo I LOVE it! It’s fun for your kids… and it’s not like they’re babies :) I love that you did it! I’ve been dying my hair since about 13. So fun!

Oh those faces. They were all just beaming with their confetti colors that night. You are a cool mom for sure. And the way Gemma engages a camera lense-that is an innate gifting, for sure! LOVE these babies!
And, just a ps: when you colored your hair at 13, I remember you kinda had to convince me, and I was mostly worried about what people would think. What else is new, huh? But of course, you were totally cute and pulled it off! You have always had great hair. xxoo
