Henna is quite permanent and is natural and there should be other herbal organic and or chemical-free hair dyes. Personally I think 9yr is a bit young. We started with temporary hair dyes and dyed just strands of hair

Try our some food colouring!

I wouldn’t. I’d be fine with temporary color, but permanent doesn’t sound right for a nine year old.

Nope, not permanent, not at age nine. Hair chalk or rinses, maybe. It’s too young to be messing around with her hair health

I think not, all kids are so naturally beautiful, let them be kids as long as they can. We are grown up and dying hair for way too many years

I wouldn’t let her yet, she’ll do it when she’s a teenager lol

Well, technically, it isn’t permanent. It will eventually grow out. So if you can deal with that, why not?

There are so many chemicals in hair colour that i don’t even think they are safe for adults.

No way I would have let my daughter at 9 have a permanent hair colour. I think she to young. Children grow up to quick as it is.

I started at 16 – now have to put highlights in every 6 weeks! I will deter my daughters from ever colouring their hair, it’s annoying and pricey

I would suggest waiting until she is older; 13 or 14. Then play around with temporary and semi permanent colours. A lot can change in months and years and removing permanent hair colour is costly and time consuming. Children do like to play with hair colour; but maybe she can make do with some colourful hair sprays for the moment! Good Luck!

I wouldn’t do a permanent colour at a young age. Perhaps a wash out one. The other thing I am questioning is why does a 9 year old want to dye their hair? Is it peer pressure, trying to be older? They have so many years to be grown ups. I’d be encouraging her to just be her.

Maybe not at 9 years old.

I think it’s quite young to want to start dyeing her hair. But if you are all for it then I would get a non-toxic herbal type of dye, usually available in most health shops.

I would not it cost to much to up keep to be starting so young, maybe if she is looking for a change take her to a salon for a restyle?

personally I wouldn’t. there is plenty of time later in life when she will want to, and it is so bad for your hair. there are some cool rinse out hair sprays that maybe you could try, or even semi permanent.

Don’t do it, once you let her dye her hair she won’t go back to natural..hold off for a bit longer

Personally I wouldn’t. If its just for a bit of fun, I’d wait until she was in mid-teens & then start with the 8 wash ones. As hair colour products contain nasty chemicals I wouldn’t want my young daughter’s body exposed to them. In fact, I just coloured my own today with a semi-permanent & noticed there are warnings against using them on children, just as you shouldn’t use it on your eyebrows etc. Maybe some spray on hair colour/glitter if its for a special occasion/fun? Did this for our flowergirl, she looked gorgeous & felt amazing.

How did you go with the hair colour?

I personally wouldn’t allow it, I’d be more interested in the reason why she wants to do it? Each to their own, but I believe that children grow up way too fast these days and I don’t believe that it really is a necessity for a primary school aged child to have dyed hair…..but then I don’t really see the necessity for it at all except to cover grey hair! Very expensive to maintain if you get it done properly and despite the treatments that are available it really does do damage to your hair.
