How old do you have to be to buy hair-dye, in England?

Question

My friend (she is 16) tried to buy hair dye from Boots, but the cashier said she wasn't allowed to.

I am 18 and I regularly bought hair dye from Superdrug, I am pretty sure I was 15/16 when I bought some.

Has a new law came in where you have to be a certain age to buy hair dye? What is the age?

Thanks.

Answer 3

Hiya,

Im certain there is no law to buy hair dye! You should get your friend to go the the manager of the store (just ask for him) and say she refused to sell the shops items!

Unless there is a law for a certain chemical in a hairdye... but im sure the cashier didnt check all the box's ingredients!.... Other than that... Maybe she was new and was just being overly careful.

Hope I helped
