It’s not weird. It’s hair. It grows out. My kids have had mohawks(daughter and all boys except my youngest), red hair, purple hair, colored spots in their hair, blue hair, mermaid hair(my daughter) ect. The hair isn’t permanent so they can do whatever they want with it. Started at 6 with all of them

It is not weird. I don’t let my 7 year old son dye his hair but we did stuff that washes out after a few washes, the spray hair color and we just did blue, green and orange hair chalk in his hair for his sister’s birthday party.

You’re not crazy. Your boyfriend seems sexist af.
My son is almost 4 and expressed wanting his hair colored. So we let him pick out a color of koolaid and dyed it with conditioner.
Don’t let anyone shame your son for things that make him happy if it harms NO ONE.
That includes toxic sexist boyfriends.

My daughter wanted to do her hair. I said we had to talk to her dad. We both agreed she was to young. My niece is 8 and her mom took her and did her hair purple and now it’s blue at a salon. Co parenting I asked what he thought and we both agreed to young. Now in saying that as a Christmas gift she got hair paint. It comes out in the wash. We did it here. I also sent a package for her to do with her dad over a visit once to bond, his gf helped her with it. Each person and situation is different but I feel like its to young for real permanent stuff personally.
It’s none of his business 
Wait…stop…Your bf…as in not the child’s father has zero say.
That is all

Most 7 year old do not color their hair which is why it’s weird for some. It is becoming more normalized though. However, I would talk it out rather than get defensive. I would hear his side, if you respect him, and he would hear mine. Then I would compromise and do a spray in maybe first, then a semi permanent. I dont let my 5 and 8 year olds color their yet just because I went to hair school and dont want to start it young. My boyfriend and I have been together for 2 years but he was my best friend and in my childrens lives for like 4 years before. He is more of a dad than their real dad and loves them as his own so I would respect his decision and compromise as their father figure because he ultimately has their best interest as I do at mind. I feel like everyone saying “boyfriend needs to bug out” has their right but it depends on the circumstances with you two and his relationship with your son. Most issues in relationships these days is everyone is so quick to jump on the Leave him train, rather than communicating and working small issues out like these.

Not weird. Kids are allowed to express themselves… its 2021.
It depends on the age of the child, and personality of said child, and what colour he wants to go. If the child is say 5-9 and wants to colour his hair use hair chalk is harmless and washes out at the end of the day. If he’s a teenager, all teen males these days have some sort of colour in their hair I do my teens hair all the time different colours because it gives him confidence. If you ‘bf’ wants to way in with the parenting part listen take what he says on board as he is beside you raising your son but at the end of the day it’s still your call what happens to your child’s hair.

I’ve colored my sons hair before! It’s just expression❤️
I mean. If your in an active relationship, naturally you should respect his reasoning. But look at it from third part view. And ask what is it specifically that makes changing hair color weird? A child, Be it 7 or 17, is still an individual with wants and likes and dislikes and should be treated so. Not as an empty Ken doll to try and form to how some one else views a man. Hair color is not permanent and many ppl do it all the time with no harm. Plus you can get temporary colors and semi permanent colors to start off with.
Ok first off…everyone saying that its not his dad he has no say…so then why is she with him to begin with? If not to have a future with the guy which ultimately means being there for her son as well… Not a pick and choose when she wants his opinion 🤷🤷 and as far as ur son being 7 i personally think thats just too young for painting his hair

Okay I’m out of this other then please make sure your using safe dye when you do. Things like splat KILLS hair. He’s so young it’ll be hard for him to ever get decent hair back if you use the wrong dye. If you already know this, perfect! If not, please please please do some looking into what dye you use. Im no hair tech but from personal experience, it’s worth getting the more expensive stuff (with good balance of oils and such) if you do it at home. And it’s even more worth the money to go to a quality hair salon. (Research everything down to the product to the salon.) My fiance really wanted to dye his hair pink and wouldn’t listen about splat. With one dye process I was pulling hair out just trying to dry his hair out.

Let your child express himself. That’s not your boyfriends job to decide. His job is to be loving, excepting and supportive to you and your kid. I dont see a ring on your finger. He can’t make step daddy decisions when it comes to your kid with position of a boyfriend. They come and go ( boyfriends)…your kid will always be there.

I started dying my daughters tips of her hair purple because one day a friend of mine came over to get me to help her dye her hair and she was like mommy I wanna do that too.
My brothers used to let me paint their finger nails and such as kids…

He’s not too young to color his hair. My best friends son was 4 when he told her that he wanted to have cool hair like she did. She always had bright red hair. He wanted blue. They used kid friendly dye and it washed out in a few washes. Sure, he may not have needed to color his hair but he wanted to and it was a fun thing they did to spend time together. Y’all sound like a bunch of fun suckers with the “he’s too young” and “he doesn’t need to dye his hair”. Seriously though girl, color his hair! Fuck your boyfriends opinion.

I want to thank ojukudele for bringing back my ex boyfriend, we broke up for more than six month and he told me that he will never want to see me in his life again. i love him so much to the extend that i could not think of dating any man again, i was confused and depress due to the love i had for him.i did everything i could do to have him come back to me but all went in vain. so i decided to contact a spell caster, i did not believe in spell casting i just want to try it may be it would work out for me. i contacted ojukudele for help,and he told me that he have to cast a love spell on him, i told him to do it. after 5 days my boyfriend called me and started to apologize for leaving me and also he told me that he still love me. i was very happy and i thank ojukudele for helping get back my ex back to my hands. his spell is the greatest of all over the world, it was the love spell he cast on my ex that make him come back to me. all you ladies who want back their ex back i want you to contact ojukudele for the return of your ex boyfriend and also your ex girlfriend he can also cast any kind of spell you want him to cast for you. his contact email is [email protected] or Whatsapp number +234 8037946490 , just try him and their will be a solution to your problems.

I mean I’d let the kid do it no matter if it’s his or not it is his hair should be his choice mine had red and blue hair at that age. Plus it grows so fast a few weeks and if he doesn’t like it you can cut it
Not because it’s weird… For me it’s more, until they are old enough, to be responsible for ruining their own hair, it won’t be me doing or allowing it. Girls or boys🤷🏽♀️. But, he’s not his child & it’s your decision to make, which seems like you have. The whole manly thing guys got going in their brain for how a boy should act, they get over real quick if you don’t allow it to dictate how you raise your child, father or just a boyfriend. And if they don’t, bye✌️
even if it is weird, that doesn’t make it wrong. If you are torn on this, maybe find a middle ground? Like hair chalk or hair color wax. Easy to put in easy to get back out. Could be treated the same way as make up for young ladies. Set boundaries on when he can use it, and if he is allowed to leave home with it on. If he is, set boundaries on where can he wear it. to school? Church? The park? To visit someone?
Just let him do it… There’s so much kid friendly, semi-permanent options out there… My 10yo son has had a whole variety of colors by now🤣 red, gray, white, blue variating from dark to denim, green, orange(due to kingsday here in the Netherlands)… Give it a few washes and its back to normal… Its fun to do together and he really loves it…

I died my 14 year old brothers hair for him last year… pink!! We did it with our mum who sadly passed away shortly after. It was one of my last favourite memories with all of us. We all thought it was hilarious. It was all washed out within a few weeks and no harm was done. Aslong as he wont get in trouble as school I say just do it for him and enjoy the bonding xx

I think he’s too young for a permanent colour but a wash in/wash out colour wd be fine for my young kids.
Also, unless your boyfriend is the only Dad your lad has ever known, it’s nothing really to do with him.
Thirdly, he’ll be the same boy with purple and pink hair as he is with natural colouring. People don’t just change because they’ve put on a diff pair of underwear. Boyfriend needs to change his way of thinking. Fast.
My e year old has coloured hair lol. Has done for 6 months now. I dyed mine for Halloween last year & he wanted it too so he got it. Everytime I update mine, he asks for a different colour. So far he has had purple, blue, green & yellow with green tips. I use Directions so it’s not harsh on his hair & is vegan. He doesn’t bleach it before like mine so fades faster but still looks cool.
You’re boyfriends weird, and it’s also weird you haven’t already coloured his hair lol! My boyfriend, the father said not to dye our sons hair pink, my son wanted pink… he got pink hair

Tell him to mind his damn business it’s ur son at the end of the day! And I believe kids these days should be able to express themselves how they want. Coming from a sheltered girl who in the year 2000 was wearing skirts and shorts below my knee because my mother was hard core old school … I couldn’t shave my legs or anything not my eye brows let alone wear makeup like the other girls… it was ok but I wish I would of been able to have like a temporary hair color or nails or anything like the cool kids . Let him be and it’s not weird … cool hair is in whatever gender you are … I’m getting the feeling he’s thinking it’s femi or gay like and if it is ? Let him be who he wants or he well hold regret his whole life because he can’t be who he wants he has to hide it
I mean. get your son some wash out dye & compromise in the middle.

He’s you’re son you make the final decision unless his bio dad is still in the picture then that’s between you two. My boy friend can voice his opinion about my son but in the end it’s my call on what I allow my 10yr old to do and not do. Punky color or manic panic would be best since it won’t damage the hair and isn’t permanent it washes out after 40 washes or something like that

It’s just a phase, and a few washes later it’s all gone, as he grows he ll just think it was just part of being a kid. It’s only weird to your husband I suspect someone said that to him when he was young. Anyway it’s s different world now.

7 is a bit young for colouring hair. I live in uk and the schools have strict hair rules. However if it’s ok where your child goes to school and you feel it’s ok as his mum then I don’t see a problem. Completely up to you. Personally I would be wondering why a 7 yr old wants to make a drastic change to their appearance. Is it a peer thing? Has others his age dyed their hair? Also consider that dye is chemicals and wouldn’t be very healthy for such a young child.

What is the big deal if he wants to color his hair? It’s not permanent and he just wants to experiment and express himself, nothing wrong with that. Both of my sons had rat tails, even after it went out of style. They liked it and wanted it so why not. Could be a lot worse things that they want to try.

I’d say being defensive is 🤏🏼 over board. Remember, it is your child and you ultimately have the say. Him, ALSO his parent, should be included in conversation. He can have an opinion, but unless he has a valid concern it shouldn’t stop little man from coloring his hair. If you’re cool with it and little man wants it, what does it hurt? Just be careful how often you trump his opinions for the child in question simply being from a past relationship. He’s with you, he parents the child, he loves you guys, he’s a parent too. This particular situation though, it’s like a pick and choose your battles on his part. He needs to look at the big picture: does it make little man happy, is it harmful, ect. Not letting him do it cause he ‘finds it weird’ seems more personal then specific. If he finds it weird, he can not color his own hair. But his preferences like that should not dictate what another should do or like.

Does he live with you? Did you allow him to be a part of your sons upbringing? Does he support yous financially? If any of these are yes then he has every right to a opinion on this. So many girls bringing men into their children’s life and expecting them to have no opinion . The minute a man entered your life for a serious relationship , they are also entering your child’s… Therefore I think he’s opinion should be also respected, long term your child will learn to play yous of against each other if yous can’t agree on simple things like hairdye x

My boyfriend said the same thing. I colored my sons hair. It gave him an opportunity to express himself. It’ll be cut off in a few months. A few month experience is worth it. It is a little weird but it made him happy. My boyfriend respected that I have the ultimate say. I hear him out on a lot of things but at the end of the day I’m the decision maker for my kids.
Nope. Your child, your decision. I think as long as your child is within school code (if he’s in school right now) it’s fine to let him Express himself in safe, creative ways. I would be wondering if you should have a serious conversation with boyfriend if he has an issue with gender norms, though. If you plan on keeping him around for the long run, what will he say if your child comes out as gay or transgender in a few years?

It not always fun when youre protective of your child that is yours and you have raised and then you allow someone else to step in as a role of a parent and we don’t always agree with what they have to say and at the end of the day it’s your child. Just try to be open. And you have the final decison. Its hard to let someone else in when you’ve done the work. …also … My son is 7 my daughter is 10 they wanted to experiment with hair dye. Yes they are young. Yes grandma freaked out but I let them anyways. Its not.going to be a consistent thing but it’s just hair. Boys will out grow that in just a couple weeks but as far as chemicals and ruining their hair and them being young it was just a one time for the fun. And it’s 2021 not the 1900s.

Both…why does he care?? Not his decision.
As an educated hairdresser, don’t use OTC junk please, if you insist on doing it. Consider that hair color is a very harsh chemical and I wouldn’t put it on a 7 yr old even with parental consent. Too many chances of allergy at this age.
I suggest colored hair gel/chalk etc. Not nearly as damaging to the hair and scalp and more importantly not permanent. You can change the color on a whim and many schools don’t allow colored hair.

I think seven’s a little young to be coloring their hair but if he doesn’t have a problem with school rules you could use the washing kind where it’ll wash out and just a couple of washings that way if he doesn’t like it it’s not permanent and have to grow out
OMG lady hive the respect to your husband that he care
one join in though as the. Child is very young.

- Join in agreement

5.this is a choice as a mom but he those provide

Alot of kids are experimenting with hair color nowadays. It’s not uncommon for boys to have colored hair.
My 17 yr old went from purple to pink and now red.
Also, If your son has light colored hair, there are shampoos at most beauty stores that will deposit color very well. I’d suggest those.

All these comments “just the boyfriend”, “some guy”, are kinda disrespectful if you don’t know the dynamics of his role. I’ve been with my fiance for 5 years and we marry next month. He’s the only father my son’s ever had. He supports him in all ways. His opinion matters to me, because even though he’s not my son’s father, he plays that role. And who knows if that’s the situation here. Besides that, I think 7 is too young to dye hair. Just my opinion. I waited until mine was 10, and he wanted color added in. We discussed it and got a semi permanent dye that washes out after a few shampoos.
