Permanent hair color can be really damagaing. But if your daughter is begging for a strands with a vibrant tint, let her play around with hair chalk; it’s inexpensive and super pigmented but doesn’t require a commitment. If she gets tired of it, she can always wash it out. We like Splat Temporary Hair Chalk.
