yeah, its not that your 13, believe me when i was younger roughly your age i had highlights.


I wouldnt reccoment it as it damages your hair leaving it weakend and more vulnrable to certain things.





Perminent dye:


Perminent dye does last ages and nice but its the most damage you could do to your hair, plus you would have to keep on dying it as the hair grows and the roots will show through after a while which is VERY expensive.





Non perminent:


Its good but still some damage done, and once dyed it wont be the colour it used to be unless you try and make it fade quick or let it grow out.


But i wouldnt reccomend them, if u did dye your hair i would reccomend non perminent as it is less harmful to your hair as it doesnt contain ammonium in it.....

As a Student Cosmetologist ;] i can assure you that





YES, bleaching or highlighting your hair; aka bleaching {just straeks} will always damage your hair.





At school; they teach you to avoid telling the client that highlighting will damage the hair because no person would honestly like to know that doing .. such n such can damage it or cause breakage.





we are taught to say '; it lightens your hair '; or call it '; highlighting or lightening '; sometimes bleach ; but we avoid using that term because we know the avg person knows bleaching isn't healthy.





So yes, it can damage your hair. The more you highlight/bleach your hair, the more it gets damaged.





Also, if the stylist/cosmetologist doing your hair is careless* you can get permanent abrasions to the scalp {scalp damage}.





it happened to some of my friends ;] so your mom i'm sure just doesn't want you to get into that since you are still young. Though, bleaching the hair, its not like it will make your hair fall out ;] unless its left processing too much; but in most cases that doesn't happen because the person would be smart enough to check your hair ;]





Though for future reference; when you do decide to bleach your hair; they will ask you how light you want it; keep in mind that the lighter you want it {considering your hair starts off darker} unless you've never colored/bleached/highlighted your hair before, the more damaged it will become.





Dying hair doesn't really do damage; unlike highlighting.


Temporary/semi-permanents won't damage.
hola.


really, if you only dye your hair a couple times it will not weaken it or make it unhealthy. just make sure you use a good conditioner and take care of it. (: don't straighten it alot, and when you do use a good heat spray.





i'm 14, i've dyed my hair over 20 times.


my mom doesn't even care, lol.


she even dyes it for me when i'm nice to her. (:
Be glad she's saying no, dying your hair is such a pain in the a.s.s! :P


I wish I had never started because I can't stop now, because of the roots and the way the colours fade :/


And yes, lightening your hair weakens it, but you could try telling her that the highlights will grow out eventually, it's not like you're doing your whole head. OR ask for peekaboo highlights like this - http://krystalstylist.com/camil.jpg - they aren't as damaging because when you get them done, you usually don't get a lot.
