What do you think about dyeing the hair of a 2 year old girl?
I think it's completely irresponsible.

1. Well, are we positive it's not just her hair lightening with the sun...
...or on it's own?

11. That's what I was thinking
I was born with pretty dark hair, but it turned white when I was her age. It remained platinum blond throughout my childhood, too. :shrug:

22. Looks too even to be the sun or chlorine
Chlorine leaves a slightly green tinge even to dark hair and the sun lightens more in streaks.

23. Imho, it looks too healthy to be dyed
my sister had hair just about that color when we were kids-no fancy streaks to be found. Unless a salon owner or the parents claim that they dye their kid's hair, then I think all of this is much ado about nothing.

25. We haven't seen her for a while.
Maybe the streaks were there, but they're gone now. I don't know why everyone has to automatically think the worst of people around here.

2. I am not the parent.
Parents can do whatever they want with their kids. I don't have to raise them. I am not going to judge a parent for their decision, since in this case it doesn't affect me one bit.

9. That's not true.
While I'm not saying that dying a 2 year old's hair falls into that category, your statement is not strictly true as if parents do certain things to their children, we as a society take them away.

17. Unfortunately, she will not be, even if she has a significant illness
Why? Because Tom Cruise does not believe in psychiatric illness or treatment. If one of his kids has schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, they are screwn.

4. and the chemicals go through the skin
not even a good idea for adults.

i think hair dye in young people causes problems later on:




(and apparently contagious too!)

and in case you are still not convinced:

21. Bingo.
It's the same reason why medications on children should be dispensed with care.

6. Well, if she's going prematurely grey, then sure, why not?
On the other hand, I always refer to Katie and Tom as "Holmes and Yoyo", after the '70s TV series.

7. I think it's ridiculous.
Not something that should be put on a child's head.

12. At what age would you find it acceptable?
I let my daughter dye her hair blue when she was 11. Her little sister, 8, wanted a blue streak too. It was a temporary dye and I let them both do it because I figured it was an innocent enough way for them to express themselves. Of course I also used to polish their nails if they wanted and "play" with makeup (as part of playing "dress up" at home, i.e., not to go out in public made up). They're now 15 and and 12 and way more emotionally healthy than I was at either of those ages. When does it become okay or does it never become okay?

13. i don't know, my daughter is 13 and if she really wanted to dye her hair i'd probably
make it happen but that would be her choice, at 2 i don't think anyone is capable of making a choice like that. that was the parents choice, it had to be.

16. agreed, I can't see a 2 year old getting into her head to want to dye her hair
although to be honest when my daughters were 2ish they wanted me to polish their nails when I polished mine so maybe Suri saw her mom getting her hair dyed and asked to do the same as mommy? I don't know. I don't think it's particularly appropriate for 2 but I know that my ex-MIL was aghast that I polished my daughter's nails. I thought it was no big deal. :shrug: I can't believe they got a 2 year old to sit still long enough to have her hair dyed.

30. I remember as a young girl, my mom was strictly against
putting chemicals in our hair until we were at least in our teens.

10. Considering that hair dye is absorbed into the bloodstream and liver
Its pretty fucking selfish of the parents.

14. Let that child have her lovely black hair. Why do that?
Her parents are very disturbing people.

15. considering her dad is a crazy scientology cultist..
I'd say that highlights are the least of this little girl's problem.

27. I think a lot of people in this thread are making assumptions
with no facts to back it up.

It is highly normal for 2-year-old children to have dramatic changes in their hair color. Naturally. Add in the sun-bleaching potential and I think there's a high likelihood that her hair changed color all on its own.

Jeebus.

28. I hope you're right, but it looks suspiciously uniform. And I wouldn't put
anything past her parents.

29. I'm more worried about the Scientology bootcamp that he's sending her mother to
I wonder if he's going to use an ether rag and some rope to get her there though.

31. That's just stupid. A two-year-old hardly cares what her hair looks like...
:eyes:

Actually, the guy who used to be my partner at work used mousse on his baby's hair and curled it when his wife wasn't home. He took a picture and showed it to me. It was obviously for his amusement, since the baby didn't care...:rofl:
