My son was 10 and wanted a blonde streak throgh his fringe he did it lol
My kids are 8 and 13. I let the youngest use temporary coloring since it can be a battle if i try scrubbing his hair. And the oldest I use permanent box dye since she was 10. Everyone likes to add their input and opinion, but in the end I’m mom (and have sole custody since their dad isn’t around). I let them do it now while they can before they reach the age of having jobs that may restrict things such as hair color!
Hair grows out, color fades, its all temporary in the end!!!
My girls have been dying their hair for a while now they are 13 and 10 we use punky color and manic panic like Sami said it’s hair if that’s how they want to express themselves have at it

I color my 7 year old hair boy also…not permanent…shampoo rinse…and if he wanted permanent i would also…
The boyfriend is NOT the parent and she didn’t ask if all of you thought her son is too young
My 9 year old nephew currently has hot pink hair! His mom is a hair dresser and he is as confident as they come! I say if your son wants to color his hair and you are okay with it then do it! The love doesn’t change because of a person’s hair color!
Its your son not his. Let him do that he want with his hair if you agree with it.
Wtf calling it weird n not for little boys is like tryna call him something else he is too small but there is those washable colors so if that makes your boy happy go for it .even if he is the real dad I would still get defensive
I started coloring my sons hair when he was 7 he loves it
Get a wash out color or hair chalk for more colored hair appropriate occasions. I’m old school and don’t think it’s “cool” I think it’s stupid on little kids

Seems a little young guys but let him use some temporary dye for the experience!
Kids do all sorts of trials in life maybe buy chalk ones, I would let kids be kids your boyfriend should support him
All three of my kids have used temporary hair colors. The oldest is 12 and likes to color her hair green or blue. My boy/ girl twins are almost 8. My boy likes to do blue and my girl likes pinks and purple. It’s something fun and depending on what you do there is no damage.
He is your son. Personally I do not allow it because I am allergic to hair dye and my kids tend to have the same allergies as I do. If it were my kid I would tend to allow Kool-Aid dye where they use Kool-Aid colors or I would buy colored hairspray. But frankly if it is not your boyfriends child it not his choice unless you have given him authority over him. Frankly if my kids dad objected I still most likely would not allow his choice to sway my choice on what I allow my son to do. My kids dad wanted to make him get a hair cut my son did not want one. He tried to force it my son told the hair dresser my dad does not have legal custody of me to make any decision about my hair and if you cut it I am going to tell my mom I told you not to and you could have a legal issue. She refused to cut his hair. the next weekend I took him to get his hair cut his choice to same hair dresser who told me what happen. I told her I let him decide if he cots his hair or not but he is right his dad does not have decision making rights.
Psssh. DO IT! It’s a form of expression and I think it’s great! My son was 7 and I paid for a Mohawk for him and he went from strawberry blonde hair (natural) to NEON GREEN. You do what makes your son happy and if that is some dye in hair, let him do it. It won’t hurt, it’s hair it will grow out. As for your boyfriend, if he didn’t birth that child, he has no say so. PERIOD!
The boyfriend should have NO SAY in what you decide is appropriate for your son.
Let him color it…its just hair and it washes out
He is YOUR son YOU decided, he doesn’t get to have a say in what your son does or doesn’t do
Ur kid, not ur boyfriends, therefore u do what u want with ur child. Boyfriend aside, my 13 yr old daughters bn wantjng her hair dyed for yrs also, but my own opinion is she was too young to color her hair, until she turned 13, then i had to break and let her do it finally. 7 is too young to me to let a child dye their hair, cause they ruin their hair soon enuf, then again, boys hair can go shorter to cut the color off. I didnt want to cut my daughters hair tho.
Could it be a summer treat or is he trying to impress the kids at school? What is his school dress code? Hair grows out quickly.
its just a hair coloring .why is it weird?why does he have a say over your sons hair to begin with
This is why I don’t bring stupid dudes near my kids. It’s just hair color, not a permanent tattoo.

While at that age, I personally wouldnt dye his hair, there’s nothing wrong with the hair spray color, or hair chalk.
Ultimately its your choice, not your boyfriends. It’s not at all weird though.
So this is a legit question. Would there be a different answer if it were her fiancée or husband?
I don’t think 7 yr old should be coloring their hair period so I agree with him
It’s normal my son has been asking since he was 5 because his flag football buddies did it and then he wanted a mohawk cause the wrestling buddies did it… He’s 8 and it’s baseball season and all the boys on his team want to do neon green and black cheetah designs… some parents let say ok some don’t . I haven’t let my son because dying hair this young isn’t good and can damage hair follicles… Why is your bf getting weird about it? I usually use colorista on my son and I highly suggest doing that outside.
No its natural to want to experment let the kid do it
I did a tempcolor on my daughters hair for Halloween lastedaybe a week. Sorry but if he’s just a boyfriend…not his call you and dad get to make the final call.
No is up to u but most hair dresser will tell u to wait till he 12 that what my son hair dresser told us
He is your child not his right?
I wouldn’t be worried about what a boyfriends says
It’s not weird but at 7 I wouldn’t allow it

No lots of boys want there hair colored
No boyfriend does not have a say. Only you and/or birth father if in picture. And If your boyfriend is saying critical or negative things to your son about this choice of wanting to color his hair, I would find another boyfriend.

Boyfriend. Not fiancé. Not husband. Not the father. Boyfriend. It’s your choice. Personally I wouldn’t even want to date someone with views like that. Makes me wonder what else he doesn’t think boys should do

My Son His choice no in between !!!
All the kids are doing it and alot of adults to
Every one has their own opinion .you little boy is at an age to make the choice for himself and of its washes out then don’t see The harm
Well…if you want him to be a parent to your kid,then he has to have a say. Plus…7 is too young to be coloring hair. I did hair chalk with my daughter…she loved it…and it was out by the time the weekend was over so she didn’t get in trouble at school. Maybe compromise to a temporary thing…They have coloring spray/chalk and I’d do it only for special events outside of school…like Halloween or bday party. My daughter had rainbow hair for her bday from hair chalk and loved it.
My kids have been using the spray in/wash out stuff since they were like 3 my youngest is 2 and had red sprayed in her hair last year cuz brother did lol.
We use the colorrista stuff on my oldest hair when she wants to dye it. It washes out after a couple weeks. Going to get her artic fox for her bday(8) to put streaks in again if my almost 5 year old boy wants some he can get some too lol it’s just hair it will grow out
At the end of the day it’s your kid not his. And if his only reason is it’s weird, that’s pretty stupid
I agree with your boyfriend
I mean do what you want but my son is 7 and will not be changing the color of his hair any time soon.
Depending his age. How little are we talking about because I don’t think little girls in elementary school should even temporary get there hair dyed
STOP FOCUSING ON THE AGE PEOPLE. The problem is bf doesn’t like it because he is a BOY not because he is 7.
Sounds normal to me.
I feel that it is letting him express hisself … allowing children to be themselves within reason is important
Your the mother. Your choice not his.
Well he’s just a boyfriend soo what he thinks and believe doesn’t matter
I wouldn’t let him only because I believe he’s too young NOT because anyone else doesn’t agree. He’s your child, not his.
That’s between you & the father. Not your boyfriend.
How long have you been with bf?
What does sons Dad say?

YOUR son not his. You make the decisions.
Your child Your rules
Your boyfriend is the weird one. Give your boy some hair color. Not your boyfriends son so why should it matter to him? If my son wants to color his hair, I will do it and no one can stop me.
Your boyfriend needs to sit down, shut up and know his place.
Make the color green and see how he reacts. If he is mean about it then he isnt the one. If he likes it then it shows that he will support his son no matter if he looks like a oompa loompa
My mom would not let me dye my hair. So when I turned 18 I started to dye my hair. I didn’t let my daughter do it either. She dyed it when she turned 18. Before 18 I think it’s to young my opinion.

It’s not necessary for a 7 year old, to color their hair. He’s 7. I don’t think it’s weird, but he way to young to make such a big decision
Seriously, at 7 years of age, if that were my son, he wouldn’t be coloring his hair. But, at the end of the day, it’s your decision.
Use Kool aid. It’s temporary. He’s a kid let him be a kid. Break needs to chill it’s just hair color. Not like he’s getting a tattoo.
Your kid your choice. I personally think it ruins their hair and I made mine wait til they were 16 and even then wasn’t happy but the need for self expression in youth is very prevalent these days and if you are in agreement as his parent your bf needs has no say in the matter. As long as you have healthy boundaries when the more important battles have to be won you and your son will be fine but by no means allow it to be the beginning of your child taking control of you.
Has he adopted your child? Probably not so my guess is he doesn’t have the ultimate say.
Let him do it, kids in school will make him wish he hadn’t colored it.
I won’t comment on the situation of the boyfriend but I will say the chemicals in hair color is very toxic. You might want to rethink putting it in your child’s head.
he is YOUR son.ill be damned if another man tells me how to raise MY son. Especially just a bf?? hell no
Compromise? Use washout or semi permanent color? In the end it’s your child. If he throws a bitch fit and makes a huge deal out of it you are better off without him.
Tell him to fuck off
Yeah. My son wanted purple hair too🙄 i told him hell to the no. End of discussion
He’s to damn young, can he even wear his hair like that at school. I don’t think it’s wired that a boy wants to color thier hair I just think he’s way to damn young to be doing it.
I wasn’t a fan of it for the longest…but recently dyed my daughters’ hair and even added some in mine with them. Fuck it. We have never been through this. These kids are going to remember a lot of random stuff from the pandemic. Make some fun memories! Let em have a quarantine color 
I got dye from walmart that was considered temporary and it dyed their dark brown hair bright ruby and the other was jade. Lasted about 2 months. It’s almost out now and you wouldn’t know we did it. The dye is called Splat.
It’s his hair and it’s just that, hair. I would 100% let him dye his hair. It’s not like he’s asking for something permanent like a tattoo. It’s his body, and his style right now.

No. He’s your son. Coloring hair is perfectly fine. I suggest temporary dye first to make sure he likes it. Also I think it’s wrong to cramp anyone’s individual creativity. I’ve always had funky colored hair. Both my kids dye there hair temporary colors or wash out. At their age I won’t do permanent cuz they are always changing their minds
I think 7 is too young for actual dye, but that’s just my opinion. I’d try hair chalk first. Our 10yo daughter and our 9&5yo sons had a blast using hair chalk just last week. 
This is our compromise because the oldest has been asking to color her hair forever. Honestly I wouldn’t mind our oldest kids getting actual dye, but our daughter has hair almost down to her butt that I refuse to screw up at home! I told her we need a professional at some point to do her hair if she wants to dye it a crazy color like green. I said the same thing about her wanting the sides shaved off. 
But anyways she was at least satisfied temporarily with the hair chalk! Lol

Def not permanent color, I’ve done demi permanents in my daughters hair and only during summer months so it washed out before school started again.
Let him you can use semi permanent or hair chalk i let my 7 and 4 year old its only them wanting to express them selves
I think that its ok if they aren’t in school and its not against dress code violation. As long as your oknwith it and its not permanent than get a temporary one to play around with first. My daughter and sister did one over the summer and so did I just to have some fun they are 9 and 10 you have to let kids be kids.
7 year old is too young to make decisions like that-would you let him drive your car and him just 7-maybe a teenager but no little child

Never too young to expresd yourself. Try a temporary hair color that washes out after a few washings just to try it out and see how he likes it. He might want blue but change his mind a cpl days later to green.
My best friend colored her sons hair… and he’s 6…
Ok so for all you loves who do the temporary/semi permanent can you help a momma out and tell me what you use? my girls have darker hair and I’m struggling but don’t want to lighten it
My son colors his hair he’s 9, he also has cancer so his hair has fallen out multiple times from chemo so I let him do fun colors when he does have hair. Life is to short if it’s something he likes and enjoys why not?
I think you should try something that washes out but hey whatever he wants! Kids are only kids for such a short while, let him express himself 
Its your son. Do what you wanna do. Boyfriends come and go. Kids are forever.

Tell the boyfriend his opinion on how to raise your kid is not his concern!
Ahhh, 1)SINCE WHEN CAN BOYS NOT DYE THEIR HAIR?! Every guy in the 90s had frost tipped hair 
2) I’m sorry but you said YOUR son? Anyway, My 5 year old boy likes to have blue spikes like sonic, lol. It’s temporary. And boys hair grows and gets cut off so fast. But if you really want to just avoid the fight, they make colored hair gel you could use on him.
Umm he’s NOT his father!!! He’s not even your husband just a damn boyfriend!!!
I let my kids dye their hair. I did tell my son that he had to wait awhile after he shaved his head to have hair to dye. But I currently have purple, and blue haired children.
It’s frickin hair, ur boyfriend needs to chill the hell out.
