Thanks for the advice, but don't worry, I've done my fair share of research on bright red hair :) I'm planning on bright red hair(with possible blonde chunky streaks) done by a professional, then Manic Panic red once it fades or roots start showing, and then after that I'll let roots come out a bit then dye back to dark brown

I see what you're saying. But you're also saying how you would dye your hair just for you, because you wanted to, and that's why I want to dye my hair red. It's just because I like the colour and want to see how it would look on me. I'm not trying to make a statement on the world, but I will anyway, and I know that. But I would rather have bright red hair and be my own person than dye a 'natural' colour and follow the crowd. That's how I see it at least.

I have read that part of the For the Strength of Youth a few times already in the past two days. This is why I have made this, to ask others help as well.

I'm a teen(female), and I am in some real need of help! For my birthday, my dad and stepmom are getting my hair professionally cut and dyed. I've really wanted to dye all my hair bright red for a long time, just for my own appeal. I don't care what others think about it really, but recently one of my friends has told me I shouldn't dye my hair because of a few reasons: -why should I change my hair when my body is a temple of God? -people are going to judge me for red hair and make assumptions -I'll need to change to go on a mission, but shouldn't I just strive for normalcy all the time? -Guys find girls who not only live but raise the standards more attractive. Some of those frustrated me. I already know all the Mormon guys don't like me, and I don't want to try to please them, I want to please me and Heavenly Father. Also, I have a real issue with people judging me. I already know I won't be able to get a job with bright red hair but his reasoning was basically saying "don't dye your hair because people won't like it". it's like listening to the crowd. Please someone help, I'm feeling really conflicted. I'm not good at decision making and I always second guess myself, like with this. So... is dyeing all my hair bright red okay? Like, it's not a commandment or something along those lines not to dye my hair. I know it's not exactly encouraged, but it's not sinning, right?
