Gwen Stefani and Kids Rock Out to Gavin

Say cheese! Kingston James McGregor Rossdale, 3, smiles wide while giving mom Gwen Stefani a squeeze on Wednesday night at the Grove. Dad Gavin Rossdale was performing a free concert for Donate Life that brought the whole family — and Gwen’s No Doubt bandmates — out for the night.

Both Kingston and baby brother Zuma Nesta Rock, 1, were pint-size members of dad’s PR team — the boys wore t-shirts promoting Gavin’s latest album, Wanderlust.

Y’know, Kingston is most definitely all Gavin. But I can really see a lot of Gwen in Zuma! They’re both so cute though

Max'sMom on August 27th, 2009

SO CUTE!!!!

Sam on August 27th, 2009

I am a stylist and I just dont understand why on earth these women lighten their childs hair!

HeatherR on August 27th, 2009

OMG cutest picture of Kingston EVER!!! He is the coolest toddler around!

barb on August 27th, 2009

what a sweet photo of Kingston and Gwen!

Kingston and Zuma are beautiful boys

Nar on August 27th, 2009

I was going to say the same thing about so many celeb moms dying their little ones hair. Isn’t that dangerous for their tender scalps.

Victoria on August 27th, 2009

Gavin was AMAZING i was There
kingston looks so much like hes dadda
Zuma looks alot like gwen
beautiful family x

Shannon on August 27th, 2009

Sam I’m not a stylist and I don’t get it either!

kelsey on August 27th, 2009

I think those are the most gorgeous boys! So precious!

Julia on August 27th, 2009

Aww, So cute, Zuma looks alot like Gwen and Kingston looks alot like Gavin. And with regards to the hair lightening, I think if it was dangerous for the child, the mother or the stylist would not do it to the child. Beautiful Family

jamie on August 27th, 2009

Oh my goodness! They have got to be the cutest baby boys on the planet! That Gwen is one lucky girl!

Jenn on August 27th, 2009

I love these kids! Who says they lighten their hair??? Some kids just have light hair like that, and my son is one who has a couple shades one being very blondish whitish hair, and the other is darker blond.

Jessica on August 27th, 2009

After seeing other pictures, Kingston’s hair is definitely lightened. I can’t understand why you would dye a toddler’s hair, seems pretty vain to me. Maybe a washable blue streak for a day but to full on color a baby’s hair is ridiculous. Why can’t we teach our kids to love themselves just the way they are?

Ryo on August 27th, 2009

They are all so adorable!! Kingston is such a handsome little boy and Zuma’s already got a mohawk! Who cares if they do or not? Not your kid, not your business. It’s amazing how many people think they’re entitled to tell others how to raise their children.

Sofie on August 27th, 2009

His hair is definatley bleached/highlighted, ya don’t have to be a stylist to see that

Shannon on August 27th, 2009

Jenn, Kingstons hair was a much darker blonde until just a couple months ago. The super light blonde at the top showed up the same time he got his new hairstyle. If you look at pics from even 3-4 months ago, it was clearly a darker color, and I don’t think it could have changed that much naturally in such a short period. It’s pretty obvious they did something to lighten it up.

Shannon on August 27th, 2009

Ryo, if I see a parent, be it Gwen Stefani or someone in the supermarket, doing something that could potentially be harmful, you can bet I’m going to speak up. Some people just don’t realize they’re doing something that could be dangerous. They might not know any better. Just b/c it’s not my kid doesn’t mean I’m okay with just sitting by and watching things happen.

Anonymous on August 27th, 2009

Guys, Gwen has been dying her own hair blonde for like 15 years, she knows what she’s doing and she would never do anything that might be harmful or dangerous to her kids.

maribeth on August 27th, 2009

Two of the cutest little boys EVER! They both look just like Gwen!

Stephanie on August 27th, 2009

Kingston’s hair is not chemically lightened. It is likely bleached from the sun and his hair is light to begin with. Look at old pics, it’s naturally very light.

kayleesmom on August 27th, 2009

I’m a huge Gwen fan and I think it’s pretty obvious they did SOMETHING to his hair. That’s not his natural color. Not that I’m opposing…he’s their son they can do what they want!

Ryo on August 27th, 2009

Oh yes, dying a kid’s hair definitely requires other parents to get involved because it’s abuse! Please. If Gwen wants to dye her son’s hair, she can. You can disapprove all you want, but don’t make it out like you’re only concerned about Kingston’s welfare – he’s not being abused.

JMO on August 27th, 2009

Kingston def. had highlights and anyone with eyes can see it. When they shaved his head and gave him a mohawk how did the boy go one day have light brown hair to bleach blonde in 24 hours?! It doesn’t suprise me and I don’t believe he’s the only kid to get highlights (we’ve seen Angie and Brad’s boys with them although most likely they’re wash out highlights)….but yeah it’s pushing it a bit on a 2-3 year old. But I really am not sure how bad it is. I mean is it any more dangerous for an adult to do it then for a child? I guess if the kid is uncooperative you could risk some danger if he got it on other parts of his body.

But Kingston is a doll and Zuma is such a mini Gwen!

Robyn on August 27th, 2009

Shannon, if you really saw a parent with a child with lightened hair in the supermarket, you would really say something? That’s horrible.

You really should mind your own business in public regarding other peoples’ children. It’s one thing to comment on CBB pictures of celebrity children, its another to make comments to parents in real life. Because you know, having children means everyone has the right to come up to you and tell you how they think you should raise your child.

Whitney Sterk on August 27th, 2009

ONE)sun lightens hair – even dark brown hair -my hair gos from black to light brown in the sun.
TW0)as long as they don;t touch the scalp who cares if the bleach the kids hair??? I used to put pink streaks in my 4 year old cousins hair and my mom’s friend used to put bleach on her sons tips when she was highlighting her own hair. Now he is 17 and a scholar……so I guess it did not mess him up.

iluvallbabies on August 27th, 2009

Agree totally with Robyn and Ryo- please mind your own business when it comes to other peoples children!

If you think dying a childs hair is blonde is “dangerous”, you need to get out of your bubble and live in the real world. Hair is dead as soon as it soon as its grows out from the scalp- do you honestly think they would put their child at risk? Its no more “dangerous” than dying a grown adults hair blonde.

Honestly some people have to calm down and worry about REAL issues

cathy b on August 27th, 2009

Gwen children are beautiful!! love his hair!!

Jessica on August 27th, 2009

I wonder why people here think the Stefani-Rossdale’s can do no wrong. I mean you rarely see a pic of them without a nanny, but when Marcia Cross had a nanny with her, people were knocking her. People complained that Lita Ford’s 10 year old’s hair was colored, but it’s cool when Gwen bleaches her toddlers hair. I don’t care what they do, it’s not my kid and personally I don’t understand why someone would do that to a toddler and I don’t get the appeal of this family, not impressed at all. Would it be ok if a celeb let their 4 year old get acrylic nails, to me that’s no different than dying your hair.Not judging,just wondering where we draw the line with children and toddlers!

iluvallbabies on August 27th, 2009

Jessica- no one is asking you to be impressed, and I dont think Gwen or Gavin would care either! And btw, the differnce with Marcia Cross (not that I commented on that post or care) is that she had TWO nannies with her, ie: three people at the beach looking after two children.

RibbonInTheSky on August 27th, 2009

Beautiful boys.

It’s very possible that she used HENNA Hair Dye if she did in fact dye his hair or have it dyed…which I must say it does look like. For all we know, she uses it on her own hair as well. I would like to assume that these celebrities would not jeopardize their children’s health for style or fashion.

Melissa G on August 27th, 2009

I have to agree with all of the comment-makers who are mentioning how wrong it seems to DYE a toddler’s hair. I don’t care that Gwen has been chemically treating her hair for years…doing chemical processes to a child at this age…not right. And while I am fully aware there are natural dye products and processes, bleaching is bleaching. And it seems really twisted that a child this young gets appointments with stylists already. Just because his mother obviously has image issues and does so much to put on a public persona — sad that it spills over to her young sons.

celebsarah on August 27th, 2009

You can’t dye hair lighter, you bleach it. So, no Henna there.

Robin on August 27th, 2009

I think it made TONS of sense for Gwen to have a nanny there with her at such a crowded venue…that way there was one adult per child. And I am not bashing parents in any way, shape, or form, but it is so NICE to see the mother holding the older one! From what I’ve seen, generally the mother holds the younger one while the father or someone else holds the older one! There’s nothing wrong with that, but it’s just nice to see the mother with the older one for a change, IMO. And no matter who is holding them, it is obvious that Kingston and Zuma are very well loved little boys by BOTH their parents

Crystal on August 27th, 2009

I ♥ the Stefani/Rossdale family! They are by far my favorite celebrity family. I find it hard to believe that she would purposefully dye her child’s hair. It just seems super unnecessary. I really hope it’s from the sun or something else! If she did dye his hair it could have been an instance where Kingston saw her getting her hair done and was like “mommy I want my hair done too.” She probably figured what the heck as long as it doesn’t harm him!! I don’t agree with dying a child’s hair but Gwen’s a cool rock and roll mom so MORE POWER TO HER!!!

Jessica on August 27th, 2009

Robin, I’m not disagreeing with you, because yeah the venue was crowded, that is the kind of place you’d need help. But iluvallbabies, I distincly remember a post about this family a few weeks ago where they were going out to ice cream and had a nanny, 2 parents and 2 kids. People saw no problem with that, so how is that different than marcia cross at the beach with 3 adults, 2 children-it’s not, but people bashed marcia for it. I just think its odd how gwen can do no wrong lol

cassie on August 27th, 2009

omg…so cute!!!!

adc76 on August 27th, 2009

if its unsafe to dye hair pregnant then that should tell you there is a chemical in hair dyes(especially bleach) that would be harsh on a childs scalp. i remember when i bleached my hair years ago, it left my scalp red and it burned. I think his haircut is adorable and would have looked just as good without the dye…especially when he is 3. His hair is already super blonde…why mess the natural blonde streaks he already had in his hair just because of a fad. i dont understand, but whatever. She is a rockstar so this isnt a shocker to me.

Valerie on August 27th, 2009

Luvallbabies-

I think you’re the one who need to calm down.
Shannon was expressing her opinion and she has the right to do that. You have the right to respectfully disagree. I don’t know that she was saying she would say something to a parent who had dyed a child’s hair. I think she was just reacting to the statement that people should NEVER say anything about another’s parenting.

Also, you say: “Hair is dead as soon as it soon as it grows out from the scalp- do you honestly think they would put their child at risk?”
Then why to do you think various medical groups recommend that pregnant women do not color their hair, and if they do use color, to not touch the scalp?

Erin on August 27th, 2009

I’m going to hear it I’m sure, but I think piercing a kid’s ears is much more questionable than coloring their hair. To me, they’re both pretty silly. But I think we don’t say so when a girl is being dolled up versus a boy. It’s a little more quirky to see a boy of a certain age with a mohawk or dye job, but generally accepted to see a girl with gold studs and sparkly lip gloss. I think childhood is so short that any “adult”ish thing you do to a kid to make them hip is loopy. (Yes, even if the kid is the kid of a rock star or actor, etc. and wants to look like mom and/or dad!)

Shea on August 27th, 2009

I personally wouldn’t dye my toddler’s hair, but I live in the south and down here because of the pageants and competitive cheerleading and dance competitions here, it’s not uncommon for little girls to have their hair dyed or lightened. I know someone that is a hair stylist at a very upscale salon, her daughter is the same age as mine (13) and she’s been lightening the blonde in her hair since she was like 6-ish. My daughter will be 14 in two months and just started changing her hair color, because she wanted to. Like I said I wouldn’t lighten a toddler’s hair, but to each their own.

As for the nanny….get real people. In a crowded place like that it would be total stupidity not to have one adult per child. Many celebs hve the nannies with them at all times to help protect from the press..safety in numbers. Does anyone know if Marcia Cross is a good swimmer or not? I know when my kids were small, if I took them to the beach I made sure there were other adults that could swim well and there was a good adult/child ratio because I can’t swim well and child move quickly and you can’t be too cautious when it comes to the safety and well being of a child.

You people need to lighten up. All of you that like to nick-pick, if we came and sat in your homes and observed would we see everything picture perfect at all times and nothing that anyone would be ale to rag on?? Unless you can walk on water then I don’t think you should pick anyone apart.
This is supposed to be a place to see pictures and read stories about celebs and their adorable kids not debate over who is a crappy parent.

JMO on August 27th, 2009

adc -

Actually dying your hair when pregnant isn’t really harmful. My mom is a hairdresser and she says it’s always been a myth and here is an insert from babycenter.com

“The limited evidence that’s available suggests that it’s probably safe to dye your hair during pregnancy. The Organization of Teratology Information Services (OTIS), which provides information on potential reproductive risks, says that animal studies are reassuring and that there are no reports of hair dye causing changes in human pregnancies, despite the fact that many women have colored their hair during pregnancy. What’s more, OTIS points out that very little of the chemicals in hair dye are actually absorbed into your system.”

So I’d assume that it wouldn’t really be harmful to Kingston – although I loved Kings hair before so I don’t know why she wanted to change his hair (which everyone can believe she didn’t but she DID)!!

Still love the family – they’re one of my favs!

Liya on August 27th, 2009

Wow I can’t believe people are so critical of someone they have never met. Did anyone here see her bleach her child’s hair? I highly doubt it. It is possible to achieve hair that light with sunin and henna dye. I have done it multiple times on my hair and my hair is darker than Kingstons.
As for the nanny issue, yes it may seem overkill that she’s out with her husband 2 kids and a nanny, but I bet after spending 3 years as the nanny they are pretty close and maybe want to include her in family outings. Or maybe they just get along very well with her and enjoy her company.
We only see random pictures that represent maybe 5 minutes of a celebrity’s life, no one knows what they are doing when the paps aren’t around taking pictures

Erika on August 27th, 2009

I love them! Those boys are adorable!!

I agree with Shea about the nanny. When I was younger, my mom probably wouldn’t have brought us (there are 3 of us) to a crowded place like that without help either. Now we would normally have a grandparent (if my dad wasn’t available which Gavin wasns’t) but they have the money, so why not hire someone?

natalie on August 27th, 2009

For starters, it’s sooo obvious that they lightened his hair. I remember seeing pictures of baby Kingston last month and it looked much more prominent than it does now.
I don’t know what to say – I think it’s incredibly stupid to dye your toddler’s hair, even if they didn’t touch his scalp. Baby hair is so much different from ours, so is the skin on their heads and it’s so incredibly irresponsible to even think about doing something like this.
Now, Gwen is the boy’s mother and I’m sure she wouldn’t do anything that would harm her child. I’m also pretty sure that she didn’t dye his hair herself. But it’s definitely dyed – his hair would look completely different if it would have been sun-lightened naturally.

Aside from that, I just gotta say that these kids are so incredibly cute. Kingston will be such a heartbreaker, I can’t wait til Zuma’s personality will start to shine through pictures like Kingston’s does.
All the best to this family.

mememememe on August 27th, 2009

You are seriously joking? No way is it ok to bleach a childs hair. Bleach is a very strong chemical. Would you want him to drink it? Then why would you want him ingesting it through his skin….all this let parents be stuff annoys me. I’ll let them be when they don’t act like morons. Having said that…is Zuma cute or what?

Mary-Helen on August 27th, 2009

I said this about Britney Spears and I will say it again here, while it’s not my cup of tea to lighten my child’s hair, it’s also not my child’s hair. Kingston hangs out backstage @ rock shows all of the time, maybe he wanted a crazy look and the stylist and his mom just kind of ran with it. Either way, it’s hair, it grows back. Honestly, if the worst thing that happens to these kids is that their parents are a little permissive with hair, then they’re doing alright. Same goes for Mel B’s daughter and her mohawk and the Jolie-Pitts bleaching Maddox’s hair, cutting it into a mohawk and dying it blue and orange. I personally wouldn’t let my daughters do that, but these aren’t my children.

Off soap box now, so I have to comment on how much Kingston looks like his handsome Daddy! Zuma just looks like a little pudgy bum, so cute and always so chill and relaxed, like “man, my life is awesome,” but Kingston is so animated and looks like a rambuncious lil boy!

jen on August 27th, 2009

I am stunned anyone would put unnecessary chemicals on the head of a toddler. Why dye his hair? To improve his appearance? That is the only reason I could think of why a person would color a child’s hair. STUPID!!!
I could never imagine dying my three year olds hair—or her even sitting still long enough to have it done, she hates getting her hair washed. Anyone who supports dying a child’s hair needs to have their head checked.

iluvallbabies on August 27th, 2009

Valerie – Nope, I dont need to calm down, Im calm! Im not the one saying I would walk up to someone in public if they saw a child with dyed hair and tell the parent its dangerous! Im sorry, but thats the crossing the line. Definately taking your opinion too far and being too confronting.

Also, I thought it was a myth you cant colour your hair when pregnant. Has anyone got any hard (factual) evidence relating to bleech or dye being toxic to pregnant women?

Lola on August 27th, 2009

Wow. 47 comments from the perfect parents we so lovingly refer to as Sanctomommies, and not one of them mentioned lemon juice or Sun-In as a possibilty for Kingstons lighter hair. Or is that abuse/bad parenting now?

As usual, there are several of them saying she must’ve BLEACHED it (as in actual freakn CLOROX.. *facepalm*), taken him to a stylist, putting dangerous chemicals in his hair (scalp or not). I would like to know how often you people stalk Gwen and her boys to get your information, since obviously you know everything about their personal lives ranging from hair appointments to other mundane tasks.

Do you people really think she held that boys head down in some Clorox? Or do you really think she takes Kingston to a stylist every 6 weeks to get his hair lightened solely to keep up her “edgy mom” image? Apparently you do. I suppose it was absurd of me to suggest maybe lemon juice **gasp** as the reason. You Sanctomommies will let me know when you all get together and publish your “Guide to Perfect Parenting” book, won’t you?

NikNak on August 27th, 2009

I personally think it’s kinda wierd that she’d bleach her baby’s hair, but honestly he does look cute with it.

And as for people assuming that hair is naturally lightened, I think you guys are doing what you can to defend her. It looks obviously bleached.

TEDS22 on August 27th, 2009

For the posters saying maybe the sun light did it to his hair??
There are photos of when it was first done! Gwen took one of the cutest kids that I have seen,with brown curly hair!He came out of the hairdresses with a Dyed Mohawk!!We were all discussing it at work and their was no doubt that Gwen had made a huge mistake with her son’s hair by bleaching the top of his Mo-Hawk.Not my taste at all

TEDS22 on August 27th, 2009

OK LOLA-We get that you are the perfect parent and we are all stupid. Yes,I imagined the first shots of Kingstons new do,when it was OBVIOUS to any-one with a brain that he had been to a hairdresses and had received a Bleached Mo-hawk!!
Lemon Juice-Seriously?????????????????

TEDS22 on August 27th, 2009

LOLA-Sarcasm is really unbecoming and rude!!

TEDS22 on August 27th, 2009

#49 Lola-Lemon Juice,Seriously!!Have you even looked at the photos when he first had his haircut?It was pretty obvious that his hair had been bleached and Mo-Hawked!!
Ans just b/c some do not agree with Gwen’s choices,their is no need to be so sarcastic!

Kayla on August 28th, 2009

If hair dye is the harshest thing that Kingston has to deal with in his life, I think he’ll be OK. Gwen isn’t a bad parent because she dyed his hair. Gwen would be a bad parent if, say, no one was watching her kids, as opposed to too many people watching them, which she’s also apparently guilty of. I don’t understand the posts on this site. No moms can ever do anything “right” enough. But…enough about that.

I think Kingston and Zuma are the cutest celebrity kids, and every picture of Zuma makes me smile. Also, I love that both of the boys are wearing shirts w/ Gavin’s name and CD on them. Adorable!

iluvallbabies on August 28th, 2009

TEDS22- do you realise your name comes up every time you post? You have done 4 in a row!!

Shaya on August 28th, 2009

The look on Kingston’s face in the first pic is adorable.

Minka on August 28th, 2009

The double standards here are ridiculous. Gwen can do no wrong no matter what she does, but other people (I wont name names) are dissected and criticized for the most simple of things. I just think that kind of attitude is hypocritical.

emma on August 28th, 2009

Does it really bother people that much what a mother decides to do to her child’s hair?
I am sure if it was going to cause harm to the Kingston even the stylist would not have done it.

Kingston and Zuma are such cute litte boys. I love there t-shirts so cute.

ERICKA on August 28th, 2009

SO GORGEOUS!!! UGH this whole family is like perfection.

ERICKA on August 28th, 2009

In regards to his hair…

She was probably getting her hair done and he wanted to try it…whats the big deal? It’s not like its going to kill him and it’s not like it’s his whole head. If it’s not your “style” then don’t comment. It’s not like what you have to say or think is anyway going to influence the celebrity and their child raising.

Elli on August 28th, 2009

What about giving your toddler earrings?
IMO, it is way more intervening in his/her appearance as it harms the earlobes for good!
However, I wouldn’t dye my kid’s hair as I like it the way nature has chosen it to be and I especially like the soft texture of childrens’ hair, sth which is probably lost when you dye it.

April on August 28th, 2009

Well I think it is pretty obvious that his hair is bleached. I have been doing mine blond for years and that is exactly what it looks like when you’re done. Very few people have that color naturally. It looks like Gwen just got a fresh dye job from the picture and maybe Kingston wanted his done too. I would not do it to my girls but I think it looks cute on him.

brannon on August 28th, 2009

I got my hair colored yesterday in an upscale salon next to a 3 year old girl with foils. Her mother was “so upset” with her naturally mousy color. I found this disturbing and it made me think of this… Same thing or not?

Shannon on August 28th, 2009

For the record I never said I would walk up to someone and say “Oh my gosh what kind of parent are you?” There are several far more subtle ways of letting someone know that something is potentially dangerous without flat out saying they’re a bad parent. But yes, I would find a way to casually bring it up. Just b/c it’s not my kid doesn’t mean I don’t care about the welfare of other children. I know I’m not the perfect mother, but it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know you shouldn’t dye/bleach/color a child’s hair!

sarah on August 28th, 2009

I have to say, I think there is a difference between bleaching and dying. I did Pink streaks in my hair for a long time. When my son shows an interest, I gave him a few strips on the top of his head. They didn’t touch his scalp and since my son is naturally white blonde, I only left them on for 5 minutes. He was thrilled and I don’t feel at all bad about it.

Jessica on August 28th, 2009

About the stupid nanny thing, no one here is knocking her for having a nanny with her at a crowded venue! My whole point being was, how come when the stefani’s step out with a nanny and 2 adults and two kids, people say “well the nanny’s just part of the family, they want to spend time with her” but when someone like marcia cross steps out with 2 babies, and 2 nannies, at the beach, people said it was ridiculous to have need that many adults. Couldn’t marcia’s nanny’s be part of the family too? Just odd how gwen can get away with things, other mothers are knocked about, doesn’t seem fair. I don’t care that she dyes his hair, however i think its extremely vain, and unneccesary to do to a TODDLER!- Im biased though, after my best friends 7 year old died in may of brain cancer, I don’t put unnecessary chemicals in or on my kids. For the mothers who come out and call us “sanctimommies” thats pretty rude if you ask me, not all mothers think it’s ok to let their kids do whatever they want, that doesn’t make them bad parents, or preaching to the rest of you-some parents give their children boundaries. Whether Kingston saw his mom getting her hair dyed and then he wanted it too-well my kids see me doing things all the time I wouldn’t let them do. “Mommy, can I use that knife?” It’s quite simple-you can just say no.

Daisy on August 28th, 2009

I love this family! I love how they have such style at such a young age, its so darn cute & im sure Gwen is careful and wouldn’t be intentionally dying her son’s hair if it was dangerous. Beautiful boys nevertheless!!

Brianne on August 28th, 2009

While I think Kingston is a cute little kid, I think it’s pretty obnoxious to dye his hair like that.

Lola – commenting on a toddler’s dye job isn’t exactly what I’d call “sanctimonious”. I’m not expressing one little bit of self-righteousness. I just think it’s wrong, plain and simple. And before you resort to name calling those who don’t share the same opinion with you, do some research. It’s “sanctimommies.” LOL

TheFirstPositiveHolly on August 28th, 2009

Whitney Sterk- My hair goes from light brown to a blondish color in the sun. I don’t think it matters if they dye his hair.

1 It’s Gwen’s baby, it’s her decision
2. Do you really think she would hurt her son?
3. Kingston looks adorable either way, I think ya’ll need to mind ya’ll own business.
4. Zuma is so cute!

Shannon- I think it’s Gwen’s business. And quite frankly, who walks up to a stranger in a super-market and says “Oh My gosh your horrible at parenting”. I’m sure Gwen either a) uses something natural b)Kingston’s hair gets lighter in the summer or c) the lighting just makes his hair look light blond. I’m just saying, it’s Gwen’s kid, do you really think she’s gonna do anything to hurt her own son? I don’t think so. Gwen knows what’s best for her kids and just because you comment on here doesn’t mean Gwen’s gonna come on here and comment about it. Or it’s not like she’s gonna read YOUR opinion. Once again, it’s her kids, not ours. Kingston and Zuma are so cute! Gwen is a hot mama and doesn’t look her age! Gavin is one smokin-hot papa and he’s a great dad and singer! This is my favorite family!

Artemis on August 28th, 2009

What I don’t get it how people think they know better whats good or bad for children than their own parents. Obviously you’re gonna call the cops if someone’s beating up a child. But dying hair? Thats really a personal choice. Whether, how and to what extent chemicals affect health is really not that clear for people to judge Gwen or any other mother for using them. You dont know what she’s using, etc. It’s not like she’s giving them a cigarette.

Shannon on August 28th, 2009

FirstPositiveHolly, since you obviously can’t read all the comments, I specifically said, right there in comment 65, that I wouldn’t walk up to someone and say they were a bad parent. I also never said she meant to harm her child, however, some people don’t realize when they are doing something potentially harmful. Which is when another concerned person could possibly casually approach someone and open up a dialogue that would make them aware of the potential danger without telling them they’re doing something wrong. Maybe it’s just something too subtle for you to understand. I would NEVER walk up to someone and tell them they’re being a bad parent.

And as some other people said, this was not a gradual lightening that would happen with something like sun-in. One day it was light brown, the next the top was bleach blonde, the same time he had it cut. I’m pretty sure you can’t get that much of a change after just a couple days of sun-in.

What does it matter if he had his hair lightened. Give it a rest, he is not I repeat not your child. Leave it alone, let them be. Grow up and focus on your own children. If you don’t want to do that to your child(ren) don’t, but don’t judge someone else for what they do to their children. She is not harming him let HER raise their children.

Well at least Gwen has ear protection on her boys. I think that shows that she really cares about her kids.

WOW!! I have 4 daughters and by the time they were 4 or 5, 2 of them had their hair streaked. Yes, lightened by using a bleaching kit. Not the sun or sun-in or lemon juice. I used a clairol bleaching kit. one other daughter didn’t want streaks and the other had black hair and it would not have looked good.My 2 other daughters had light brown to golden brown hair and I just gave them both more high lights. Do I care what any of you think? Well, you already know the answer to that. They learned to sit still while watching a movie while I applied the bleach to their hair (not scalp) and they sat still while it developed and i gently rinsed each section at a time by hand. Also my 2 grandaughters are 4 1/2 and 1 and guess what? Yes, you guessed correctly they both have streaks, 2 each. Not very light but they are there. If they are small you apply it while they are asleep and you stay next to them the entire time in case they wake up.
Sometimes they get a look or two, but some people have approached and asked what I used and howi did it and wanted the brand name because they said it looks good.I used to put a streak or 2 in my 3 nephews hair as well every summer. So get over it. It’s not a big deal and it does no harm. Trust me. I know from years of experience. My daughters are now 28,26,23,and 19

Wow, bleaching a child’s hair while they sleep? Interesting parenting.

TheFirstPositiveHolly- I couldn’t agree more!

Elli- Getting your ears pierced does NOT permantly, or even temporarily, for that matter, harm your earlobes unless the piercings get infected. Okay, you’re getting a hole put in your earlobe….But there’s plenty of much, much worse things you could be doing to your body. I have pierced ears, and I love them!

Minka- I think there’s a double-standard going on to, but in pretty much the opposite way. Gwen is getting picked apart left and right for dying/bleaching her son’s hair…Yet Maddox Jolie-Pitt has been seen with streaks numerous times, and even had part of his hair bleached last summer. Pax has also been seen with highlights at least once. Yet hardly anyone criticizes Angie and Brad for coloring their boys’ hair (why do I get the feeling, though, that that may change if, in a few years, we see Knox with any sort of dye in his hair?).

Gwen, Kingston and Zuma look great. Though I have to admit I don’t get the whole dying your toddlers hair. ….

Mia on August 29th, 2009

I always thought Kingston was Gavin’s mini-me + Zuma was Gwens’, but WOW! Genetics are just incredible!! It’s like Gavin reproduced Kingston all himself + Gwen with Zuma, amazing.

too revealing IMO. she’s showing her underwear anytime she can.

just want to point out that kingston has awesome teeth! perfect!
he looks healthy! I dont really really care if they choose to color it. I like to see that he is happy and healthy..not that its my business anyway. Its just something I enjoy seeing.

Yeah his hair definitely looks bleached. You can tell whoever did it was pretty careful about not getting it too close to his scalp because his roots are still a darker color. Personally I think it’s pointless to make kids so fashionable but I don’t think dyeing their hair every once in awhile is going to harm them too much physically. The only thing I’m worried about is that it makes kids superficial and image-conscious.

Anne on August 31st, 2009

My reservations about chemically changing a child’s hair color have less to do with any potential dangers as to just an all around opposition to the idea itself. I have a 3 year old daughter. Why on earth would I ever instill in her the idea that she is not “cute” enough, or pretty enough or anything just the way she is? It’s the same reason why those toddler beauty pageants creep me out – why do we feel the need to “decorate” our children? Whether its hair color, string bikinis for toddler girls, makeup on children, etc…it all just makes me wary. Children are children, why are there so many people trying to make them look like miniature adults?
