DD (11) got hold of my straightners on Sunday.
The gist is she sprayed hairspray on the hair while trying to curl a bit at the front and it has burned straight through her hair. It has left her with a piece about 2 1/2 inches long that looks like a half fringe, but with ginger (singed) ends, which I have trimmed as best I can. There is also a ginger (singed) patch at one side further down the hair shaft which has not snapped off. You can see it when she ties her hair back. It looks like a splodge of bad hair dye. She is blonde with waist length hair.
I really don't need judging about her using the straightners. She doesn't usually, I have done it for her once or twice for a special occasion but normally she washes her hair, plaits it while wet and that's it. We rarely blow dry. Anyway it's happened. She won't be doing it again, major lesson learned.
I think I will have to take her to the hairdressers at half term. I'm not sure how they can sort it out, or get rid of the ginger, without cutting. The position of the singeing makes it very difficult to cut without giving her an Anne Hathaway. It is too highup for layers. Have tried the purple shampoo to get rid of brassiness. I suspect that trying to highlight the affected bit will make it snap off. I think I need to take her to someone very good but I am mortified that she's done this. It doesn't look burnt, no one would know that it was, but the ginger bit is noticeable. It is about 3 inches from her crown and on about an inch thick piece of hair.
Any advice?
