Answer 1

Well, you have to listen to your mom unfortunately.  Although, you can talk to her about it rationally, and nicely.  

I'm 23 now with my own family, but I remember being 13 and wanting to color my hair.  My mother was an eccentric hippie hairstylist, and she was pretty open to me coloring my hair after I  explained to her that I didn't want to do anything drastic, just wanted to try it out.  So she put a few highlights in for me.  

Good luck.  xD

Answer 2

There are things you can do at home to enhance your natural hair color that you mom might be ok with.   Lemon juice will brighten your hair if you squeeze some in your hair before going outside.  We used to use it when I was a kid, makes it look like you spent the summer at the beach.  I also believe that strong tea may make it look darker.

The problem with dying your hair is that there are harsh chemicals in the die and can cause allergic reaction, especially the longer you use them.  My sister almost lost her hair because she had a bad reaction to it, even though she went to a salon every time she had it done.

Answer 3

You need to listen to your mom.  I did not let my daughter dye her hair at that age.  I always felt that if I gave too much too soon, there would be nothing left to give later.  If you die your hair now you will need to pierce your belly button next year, then the following year your nose, then the only thing to top all that krap will be a tattoo.  Take your time, you will be all grown up for a LONG time, and a kid for only a little while.

Answer 4

See if she will let you do the temporary color that rinses out after a few washings.

Answer 5

Thirteen is a bit young to start dyeing your hair.  There is nothing you really can do--what Mom says goes as long as you are still a minor and living in her house.  Sorry.

Answer 6

No.

Answer 7

Well honey your momma sounds like my in laws. They used to be like this about dating listening to secular music and anything else you can think of. Girl friend try talking to your mom in a mature way. Try to see it from her point...she sees you as a little one and she doesnt want you doing things that make you more grown up. I couldnt wear makeup till I was in the 8th grade but my mother and I compromised on mascara. I felt like I was wearing makeup and to my mom it wasnt that much. How dark are you wanting to go> like emoo? I would just let it go and pick your battles. Now days girls are piercing every body part and getting tats. Im sorry you feel like its not fair...Im a mom my self and as a parent you still want some kind of innocence for you child. I think she wants to keep you small forever. Either that or you want to do something too drastic. See if maybe she would let you do some highlights...start small nothing so drastic like your whole head see if she will let you do small streaks. Good luck
