And hey, when I was a teen my Mom helped me dye my hair! Definitely a go with the flow kind of parent here. :) <em>Tsoniki's last blog post..<a href='http://craftercast.com/crafter-cast-show-15/' rel="nofollow">Crafter Cast Show #15</a></em> I’ve already let my kids (7 and 5 now) put blue color in their hair so when they are teens I don’t think I’ll worry much.

I'd probably be grateful if that was my largest concern! Purple hair is temporary. Just like my kids wearing their clothes inside-out, backward and mismatched. LOL! <em>K.C.

It is very easy to do. I know for a fact that people look at my African American Daughter with her Afro, Rock & Roll clothes and Purple hair and wonder what in the world I am raising. But ya' know what... that ok :) Hee hee- Yes, I find that many parents get into the trap of “what will people think”ness. It is very easy to do.

My 17yo has had about every color hair known to man...lol She maintains a 3.6 GPA, is heavily active in the church and is overall a great kid.

For the most part. We dyed her hair the first time at around 11. I really had no reason why we couldn't do it. I don't want to fight silly battles that my parents caused. Now she hangs with girls that would be considered goth. She made a big stink about dying her hair back to natural color. lol And honestly her grades have never been higher. She's at a 3.4 and I never talk to her about her homework. The girls she hangs with do their homework and that's just the way it is. They play sports and they like to be different. I am happy that her girlfriends are so positive in her life and that they will talk to me too. I'll pick my battles, but it will be about other things. :) <em>val's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/busymomma/nCkG/~3/353021041/' rel="nofollow">Native</a></em> My daughter just turned 13 and is over the really crazy hair dying.
