Streak Your Hair with Eye Shadow

Ok so I get it, who does this right? Dying your 8 year old's hair with eye shadow? Yes. I said eyeshadow. lol I have these cosmetic grade pigments that you can do a million things with such as make lip stick, gel liner, blush, nail polish, colored mascara, and yes-streaks for the hair..You can really be as creative as you'd like, these are just some of the uses I have tried.

Anyway, for those of you who have children, you know very well how they have bionic ears--there is no whispering or having a private conversation--they hear everything! lol
So my little one over hears me speaking to a client about these pigments and what I have done with them, and her ears perk up when she hears hair streaks...Now ever since she heard it, I have not been able to rest from all the pestering and begging for her to try it! lol
This girl is persistent! Once she gets an idea in her head she will not let it rest!

So of course she waits for the "perfect time" to ask me again about the hair streaking, which was on a day we have once a month we call "Mommy and Me Day." Its just a day we choose to make  special for each other by spending quality time and giving each other our full attention 'n stuff. We make conscious efforts be as sweet, kind, considerate and respectful towards each other in order to display our gratefulness towards one another...Well in any case, she knows this is a very open-minded kind of a day, so she asks me again with the puppy eyes she is known for..lol.... with that, and the fact that I knew how excited she was for the idea, I began to consider...well:

1.she could wash it out,
2. Its eye shadow!
3. Its fun and playful,
4. shes a kid,
5. she is not hurting or traumatizing anyone and,
6. IT WASHES OUT! lol

So I said yes lol lol
And let me tell you, she thought nothing could stop her-she was on top of the world! lol
 these are the small moments we as parent live for right?!






I guess it was harmless right? What do you think? Would you try this technique on your child's hair for fun?
