Almost all girls try to imitate their moms. So, at preschool age they wear mother's shoes or hats. Having become older, they paint her lips with mom's lipstick or stifle her with perfumes. Then try on her jewelry and also dream of becoming more likely to be adults. And what girl did not dream of having the same beautiful marigolds, like her mother, or do 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. They wear heavy jewelery, wear high heels and short skirts, shorts, but what is especially incredible is dyeing their hair lilac or crimson.
So is it worth it to allow girls to dye their hair, and if it is possible, from what age? And will it hurt her in the future? In this, and try to figure it out.
Do I need it?
A child's hair is much thinner than adults, his skin is much softer and more sensitive, and the 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 to act on the hair with chemicals, they will become brittle and dead, and their bulbs - weakened, because ammonia contained in persistent dye penetrates deep into the hair, destroys it and replaces the natural dye with an artificial dye .
If you start to dye your hair from ten to twelve years, then by the age of 18 the hair will be thinned, dry, brittle. Instead of living shiny and flowing hair on the head there will be a hard cut “straw”.
Experts advise starting to dye your hair no earlier than 14–16 years old, that is, not before puberty ends, because under the influence of hormones and the scalp, and the hair itself can still change - you should not expose them to additional testing.
What colors are suitable?
Another thing - natural dyes. They are not only not harmful, but also strengthen hair, improve their structure.
For giving of light tone hair rinse with chamomile broth. Infusion of onion peel will give your hair a chestnut-golden hue. For a more dramatic color, you can use natural colors: henna and basma. Mixing them in different proportions, you can get all sorts of shades: from red to dark cherry. Teenage girls are better off using natural paint if the school charter allows them to go to school with their head painted. because this paint is very resistant and it can not be washed off in one or two weeks.
You can also practice hair coloring during the summer holidays. And there is time, and there are no school restrictions. Other persistent paints, as well as lightening or highlighting, it is better to "indulge" in a more adult age.
Now there are a lot of safe tools that can be used if you are going to a school party or want to surprise your friends with an unusual appearance. They are short-lived and washed off the head for one or two times.
But you can experience the various shades and look like a bright person for one evening. For this are used tonics. They act differently than resistant dyes. Tonics do not penetrate deep into the structure of the hair and do not spoil it, they are distributed over the surface, are easy to apply and wash off easily. Light tonics keep on hair no more than a month.
These include colored crayons, balms, mousse, tinted shampoos. They do not contain ammonia. The gentle tonic penetrates the hair structure a little deeper, therefore it lasts longer on the strands.
Resistant tonic is composed of a small percentage of ammonia, but does not harm the hair. Holds up to two months.
You can use special crayons. This is a multicolored pastel that colors the strands in a different color.
There are 2 types of chalk: dry and chalk shadows. The first is cheaper, they have more different shades, and small shadows are easier to apply. They are also washed off once or twice.
Thanks to the ease of applying and washing away the tonics, you can try different shades before you find the one that suits you. Each time you can change your look from the style of “Vamp” to Malvina with blue hair.
The main thing is that it does not go against the requirements of the school and parents.
