Dye Your Hair Without Your Mom Knowing

Have you always wanted to dye your hair? Then read the following instructions to find out how to without your mom knowing!

Steps

  1. Make enough cash to afford the hair dye. Realize that your mom wouldn't buy it for you or pitch in without knowing what you're doing. So, try doing extra chores around the house or get a part-time job to afford the hair dye.
  2. Visit a store to buy the hair dye. Either walk to a store that sells hair dye, take a bus, or have a friend's mom drive you if you don't have a driver's license. If you only have a small amount of money, perhaps you should visit multiple stores to get the best deal. Also, look for coupons in the newspaper, for they will save you a couple of dollars at the most.
  3. Choose the color of hair dye you would like to purchase. Try to make it a couple of shades lighter or darker. if you want a more natural look. Maybe you shouldn't get a bold color, such as pink or red, for this will be more noticeable to your mom if she catches you off-guard. Ask around about the brand of the hair dye, for some brands are known to permanently damage hair. Try to get a type that you can still use normal shampoo on.
  4. Bring the hair dye home. Hide it in your drawer, closet, or any other spot where you know your mom will not look. Keep it there until you are ready to actually do the hair dying. Try to avoid setting the hair dye directly under heavy items, for this may cause some damage. Also, avoid putting near the window or vent, for extreme temperatures may cause the hair dye to act up 
  5. Choose a date on which you want to dye your hair. Call up a friend, and ask them if you can come to their house to dye your hair. Make sure the date is a day when both families aren't busy. Remember to call multiple friends if the first one you call won't let you come over. The goal is to avoid dying your hair at your own house, for it may leave an odor that your mom will most likely notice.
  6. Go to your friend's house on the chosen date. Bring all of the hair dying supplies with you in a bag. Explain to your mom before you leave that you're just going over to a friend's house, if a reason is needed. Your mode of transportation doesn't matter, for your mom won't know you will be heading over to your friend's house to dye your hair.
  7. Dye your hair by following the instructions on the box. Read them at least three times before beginning so you will know exactly what to do. Have your friend help you out if you need some assistance. Once you believe you are finished, pack up your materials and head on home. However, be sure to spray an air-freshener in the bathroom of your friend's house, and thank your friend for allowing you to come over.
  8. Wear a hat or scarf on your head. Don't let your mom see your hair once you return home. Cover it up it any way possible. Try to avoid your mom by going into a different room and not talking to her. Also, you may need to hide it from siblings if they are the type to snitch on you.

Tips

  • You may want to start with a temporary dye in order to gauge your mom's reaction. If things don't go over well you can just wash it out.
  • At first try washable hair dye and show your mom but don't tell her it's washable if she is ok with it then dye it that same color if she isn't tell her it's washable hair dye.
  • It's better just to ask your mom if you can dye your hair--she may surprise you and say yes! (Also keep in mind that once you go to college you can do whatever you want.)
  • It may help to dye your hair slowly. For example, if you want a brown hair color and have blond hair, dye it a slightly darker blond, then chestnut brown, and so forth every few weeks. Apply oil to your hair, and tell your mom this is the reason.
  • As an alternative to hats and/or scarves, invest in a jacket with a hood. If anyone asks why you are frequently wearing your hood, tell them that you are recently gangsta.
  • You could also say that you and your friend were playing around with your hair, and you had to wash it because it was so messy. But, you accidentally used your friend's mom's temporary hair dye as shampoo because you didn't read the label. Get your friend to back you up on this, but make sure your friend's mom is out of the picture.
  • You should ask, before dying your hair. Not only your damaging the hair but breaking the respect your mother thought you had for her.
  • After a while, you may want to just tell your mom you dyed your hair. Explain to your mom why you did it, and try to sound convincing.
  • Dying your hair too young can permanently ruin the roots.
  • If your parent does suspect something then tell them that is it non permanent and will wash out in a few days. Make sure it's the truth, or be prepared for punishment.
  • Dye your hair in places where she won't see! If she can't see it what's the problem?
  • Get a variety of different hats/scarves so you are not always wearing the same one.
  • Consider getting a wig in a different colour instead. They can be a bit pricey (for a realistic looking one,) but, they do give you the colour change without the commitment. Your mom might be more willing to let you wear a wig than let you dye your hair.

Warnings

  • ALWAYS follow the directions and do an allergy test as per the instructions.
  • Sorry but you can't keep this up forever. She will find out sooner or later. Expect a huge punishment.
  • Instead of taking a huge risk with dying your hair, try putting squeezed lemon juice on your hair before going out on a sunny day.
  • Think twice before dying your hair. There is no going back after you put the dye on!
  • If your parents say "your hair looks lighter" say, "I was outside and the sun must have bleached it out (only if it has been sunny for the last few days).
  • The hair dye can burn your scalp.
  • You can always use a hair spray as it's removable.
