Is your child asking to dye their hair? As a parent, it can feel like a bold choice and many of us worry if hair dye is even safe for teens or younger ones. If you're considering giving hair dye the green light, here are a few important things to keep in mind:

Your child likely asked to dye their hair because they thought it would be fun to try, so follow their lead. Make it a positive experience by focusing on play and the joy of trying something new, not on improving one's looks or trying to look like someone else. Hally Color Cloud hair dye kits also come with extra goodies like stress-putty and undereye gels that emphasize the experience as opposed to the end result.

Avoid the big ingredient NO list: ammonia, hydrogen peroxide, sulfates, parabens, resorcinol, and paraphenylenediamine (PPD) – all of which can be harmful and damaging to your child’s hair and skin, or result in an allergic reaction. Hally Color Cloud hair dye is free from these ingredients (plus gluten-free and cruelty-free as well), so you can be confident it's safe to apply.

Skin on a child’s scalp is sensitive and can be damaged with harsh color and ingredients. Look for solutions that contain nurturing ingredients such as aloe, chamomile, and lavender.

Temporary hair color that washes out after one use can be extremely messy to apply and leave you with permanently stained bathroom furniture and fixtures. It only lasts until the next wash, so often the mess isn’t worth the hassle. Hally's Color Cloud formula is a unique foam format that is mess-free and very easy to apply.

Stay away from permanent hair dyes that last until the hair is cut or re-dyed. For kids, a formula that gradually fades out provides a medium-term effect without such a commitment. Color Cloud gradually washes out after 4-6 weeks, making the perfect way to experiment with color.
