Cool! My 19yo daughter has been dying hers for years. It's normally brown but she's been blonde, black, red, "dyed in the blood of her enemies red", green, blue, and pink. Last night she had me help her dye it Ombre blue so now she has mermaid hair.
This means I have years of experience at my fingertips for you if you need it about girls yalls age dyed hair, the care, the roots, the options, etc. Let me know if you want me to ask her anything. She's the expert and even went to cosmetology school to learn how to do her own.
One thing she does is she gets good shampoo and conditioner made for colored hair and products with moisturizer in them because dye and especially bleach cause it to be very dry. Use protection spray for heat when you straighten it or use the curling iron. That's really important.
Sometimes bleach may not work well with certain kinds of hair. My hair is dark brown, almost black, and bleach really damages it. It also makes my already porous hair overly porous, so hair color has a hard time staying in it even after using color safe shampoo and conditioner. I'm glad your daughter has fun with it though. Unfortunately, it doesn't work well for me (plus I look horrible as a blonde).
