A MUM has come under fire after she dyed her young daughter’s hair blue.
Mother-of-two Taylor Wall explained that her little one had asked her for a ”Elsa”-inspired hair makeover – but instead of the iconic platinum blonde mane, Taylor decided to choose the colour blue.

The parent, from the US, revealed that she didn’t have any hesitations after her child’s request, as she wasn’t ”in school yet”.
The dye, which she purchased from the popular US retailer Sally, was also not as harsh as the regular products from the high street.
Taylor said in the now-viral video: ”Before y’all come for me, this is a plant-based hair dye, so it is not toxic for my little girl.”
As an extra precaution the mother also made sure to not accidentally apply the semi-permanent product onto the child’s scalp.
”I chose to go with purple and blue, and I was really hoping it would give her like a prism effect but I think the blue was way too royal.
”She did so good being still, I am so proud of her. She really wanted that Elsa hair,” the mum was praising her little blonde girl.
Unfortunately for Taylor and her daughter, the hair didn’t quite turn out as they had hoped for – but that didn’t stop trolls from slamming the mum.
A whopping 700 people of the 2million viewers flocked to comments, where many disagreed with Taylor’s decision to dye her child’s hair at such a young age.
One insisted that instead of resorting to the semi-permanent dye, she could’ve chosen other alternatives.
”U could’ve just used clip ins or tape pieces.”
Someone else, meanwhile, thought Taylor was letting the child grow up too quickly.
”Let kids be kids smh [shake my head], this is sad.”
”Just buy her some fun wigs,” another critic advised.
How can I fix dye damaged hair?
Have you taken the dye too far? There are some ways to fix this WITHOUT chopping the whole lot off.
- Give it a trim: we’re not saying you have to cut the whole lot off, but you should trim the worst offending split ends.
- Ditch the heat products: stop straightening/curling your hair immediately.
- Stop dying your hair: step away from the bleach, and starting using ammonia-free semi-permanent dyes for now.
- Switch to sulfate free: use kinder, sulfate-free shampoos and conditions to repair your damaged hair. And don’t shampoo more than twice a week if possible, because this strips damaged hair and makes it brittle.
- Treatment masks: use one of these hair treatment masks, listed below, to rejuvenate your locks.
- Sun protection: cover your damaged hair when sunbathing or swimming in a chlorinated pool, to prevent further damage.
- Eat your hair healthy: make sure you drink lots of water, eat Omega 3 fatty acids found in salmon, walnuts and flaxseeds, and green veg like spinach, kale, carrots and avocado. Some pre-natal supplements also promote hair growth.
”There’s these things called color hair clip in!! She’s too young for those chemicals in her scalp!! It’s not just hair it’s toxin in her scalp!!” a viewer slammed Taylor.
Luckily for the mum, who later hit back at the online keyboard warriors, there was also plenty of support.
Responding to one of the negative comments, the mother-of-two said: ”To be quite honest, I passed my state board and know all about the dangers.
”I made sure not to get in on her scalp as you can see in the video but that’s also why I went with a nontoxic semi.”
A viewer wrote: ”I’m sorry the fun police found your vid but, I love that you are allowing her express herself.”
Another went on: ”oh my people…it’s HAIR. it’s not ruined. it will wash out, fade whatever.
”My mum was a hairdresser and if we wanted something like this it happened!”
