Mafalda.. that is so interesting about the piercing in the hospital. Where are you from? I don’t necessarily have a “written in stone” opinion on doing something like this to a childs hair. I think it depends on who, where, why, and the particular look. However, this look on Maddox?…. YEIKS!!!!!! And Jenna… forgot about the blood vile “necklace”!! You are sooo right.

I think it’s innapropriate! And not because it’s unhealthy or anything. It’s just about setting boundaries and messages…
How can coloring your hair, which more than 50% of grown people do, be unique and creative and individual??? ANd when you’re 5??
Yes pick your battles. This is an easy one.
5 year old: Mom, can i highlight my hair?
MOM: No you may not.
End of story. End of battle. Kid wants to express himself… Draw a frigging picture!
But I guess when your mom used to carry her husband’s blood in a vial around her neck, a little highlighted hair is no biggie!!

Hmmm. I don’t know. I was never allowed to colour my hair or anything like that as a child. I didn’t get my ears piereced ’till I was 14. So I think it’s a bit odd to see a five year old with that hair style and the colouring. But I guess everyone has their own way of parenting.

Sorry, but I really can’t understand some people here! What’s the big deal about his hair?
In my country I see 4 year-olds (girls and boys!)running around with highlights, coloured hair or rather “crazy” (as many people here would call it)hairstyles all the time! Even little kids like that can be quite expressive and have their own head when it comes to their hairstyle, clothes ect…
My little sister for example, she’d never wear something pink, glittery, dresses, skirts or even slightly girly-looking (and she’s 6 and a half!). When she was 5, she wanted to have red highlights. Well, she got them and she loved them to death!
I was the same when I was her age- I already had my views and opinions about style!
Children already have fully developed, individual personalities and they know what they want. As long as it’s the child’s own wish and decision (and not something forced upon them by the parents), why not?!

Awful – on a girl or boy. Sad that a five year old doesn’t feel perfect just the way he is. When I was five, my mother would let me pick out my clothes and hair cut, but that’s about it. If a five year old needs to express themselves, they can do it without the help of chemicals. I think it’s tacky-looking and who knows what kind of hazard it poses to his health. I certainly wouldn’t want my child breathing in bleach and letting it sit on his skin for 30 minutes. Yuck.

I’m sick of people bringing up Britney every time someone has an opinion on Angie and Brad’s parenting. One has nothing to do with the other. I personally would not dye my child’s hair but I also wouldn’t pierce my baby’s ears either as I think that is comepletely cruel. But Maddox is not my child. So if they want to dye his hair so be it. What’s the big deal? It’s not like they are endangering his life by having him sit 2 inches from an air bag.

I personally think that highlights look stupid on anyone. I certainly would not allow my 8 year old daughter or 4 year old son to get them. Temporary color spray in her hair….MAYBE, but permanent? HECK NO!

Personally I would do it if my child asked me, but only highlights and nothing near the scalp. That wouldnt do any harm to the child.

Maddox is Angelina and Brad’s child it is their decision and choice to do what they do, we all have to remember that.

Is that ponytail his, is what I want to know. lol

Honestly, I have no qualms about it. I don’t know if I’d do it but I’m not Angie or Brad. I don’t see what’s wrong with it. It could be the stuff that washes out anyway. I will never know. I’ll just say he looks cute.

Thanks Kresta. I like that even better. “Don’t get your knickers in a twist.”
