Almost all girls try to imitate their mothers. So, at preschool age, they wear mother's shoes or hats. As they get older, they paint their lips with mom's lipstick or scent with her perfume. Then they try on her jewelry and also dream of becoming more adults. And what girl did not dream of having the same beautiful nails as her mother, or getting the same hairstyle?
In adolescence, many girls try to stand out with non-standard behavior and unusual appearance in order to assert themselves and attract attention to themselves. They wear heavy jewelry, high heels and short skirts, shorts, but what is especially incredible - they dye their hair lilac or crimson.
So is it worth allowing girls to dye their hair, and if so, at what age? And wouldn't it hurt her in the future? This is what we will try to figure out.

Do you need it?
A child's hair is much thinner than adults, his skin is much softer and more sensitive, and his allergic reaction to dyes and brighteners is much stronger. Therefore, the harm from coloring will be more significant. Not to mention the fact that if from an early age chemicals are exposed to the hair, they will become brittle and dead, and their bulbs will become weakened, because the ammonia contained inside the permanent dye penetrates deep into the hair, destroys it and replaces the natural dye with an artificial dye ...
If you start dyeing your hair from ten to twelve years old, then by the age of 18 your hair will be thinned, dry, brittle. Instead of living shiny and flowing hair on the head there will be a hard, chopped "straw".
Experts advise to start dyeing your hair no earlier than 14-16 years old, ie.not before puberty ends, since under the influence of hormones both the scalp and the hair itself can still change - you should not subject them to additional testing.

What paints are suitable?
Natural dyes are another matter. They are not only not harmful, but also strengthen the hair, improve its structure.
To give a light tone, rinse the hair with chamomile broth. The infusion of onion peels will give your hair a chestnut-golden hue. For a more radical coloring, you can use natural paints: henna and basma. By mixing them in different proportions, you can get all kinds of shades: from red to dark cherry. Teenage girls are better off using natural paint if the school's charter allows them to go to school with a painted head. because this paint is very resistant and cannot be washed off in one to two weeks.
You can also practice coloring your hair during the summer break. And there is time, and there are no school restrictions. It is better to "indulge" in other persistent paints, as well as lightening or highlighting, already at an older age.
There are so many safe tools now available that you can use if you are going to a school party or want to surprise your friends with an unusual look. They are short-lived and wash off the head in one or two times.
But you can experience different shades and look like a bright personality for one evening. For this, tonics are used. They act differently than permanent dyes. Tonics do not penetrate deep into the hair structure and do not spoil it, they are distributed over the surface, easy to apply and easy to wash off. Light tonics stay on the hair for no more than a month.

These include crayons, balms, mousse, tint shampoos. They do not contain ammonia. The gentle tonic penetrates the hair structure a little deeper, so it lasts longer on the strands.
A persistent tonic contains a small percentage of ammonia, but does not harm hair. Lasts up to two months.
You can use special crayons. This is a multi-colored pastel that gives the strands a different color.
There are 2 types of crayons: dry crayons and shade crayons. The former are cheaper, they have more varied shades, and crayons-shadows are easier to apply. They are also washed off in one or two times.
Because the toners are easy to apply and rinse off, you can try different shades before finding the one that's right for you. You can change your look every time from the "Vamp" style to Malvina with blue hair.
The main thing is that it does not run counter to the requirements of the school and parents.

Output
It is better for girls to start dyeing their hair no earlier than 14-16 years old. Until this age, only natural dyes of not too bright shades are allowed. For parties and meetings with friends, dyeing with unstable, harmless products (crayons, coloring shampoos, varnishes), which are easily washed off and do not spoil the hair structure, are acceptable.
This question may arise in every family where girls grow up. A few tips will help you solve this problem correctly.
