Tori Spelling Doesn’t Regret Dyeing Daughter Stella’s Hair: ‘It Was a Choice I Made’ with My Daughter

“‘Now I’m curious about it because I’m not allowed to do it.’ ”

Exactly. We just saw this with my cousin; Aunt & Uncle wouldn’t tell her ANYTHING about sex and would only let her do Bible-based, abstinence-only education. She’s now pregnant.

You have to pick your battles. Hair dye isn’t permanent. It isn’t a tattoo. It isn’t alcohol that can damage your body. It isn’t a cigarette or tanning bed that can cause cancer (I’m looking at you, Tan Mom. I’m also proud to be from one of the first states to ban UV tanning services for minors.)

This is one of those learning experiences that it’s OKAY to let your kid have. “Well, I tried a different color and I didn’t like it. Lesson learned.”

Mother of the year award again…….smh!

If the daughter was 13, it would be one thing. Yes, the more they are curious the more they want to do it, but at seven you can’t stop that from happening.

For me and my daughters, it’s about the right of passage, and at the right time. 13 is the earliest my daughter will get her hair colored. why is everyone in such a rush for their daughters to grow up. I don’t think she’s a “bad mom” I just feel somethings should happen at an appropriate time and 7 years old isn’t it.

The 7 yr wanted to dump bleach on her hair…..we agreed together.

Why would you put something potentially carcinogenic on a child so young? Care a little more about your child’s health, or at least get educated.

what a dumb@%$

It’s okay everyone. Once her daughters turn 13, if they ask for breast implants, she’ll take them to a plastic surgeon to have implants. Silly,ugly cow

How could she be struggling financially? Candy’s paying her rent and covering all food and tuition bills!

Holy F. seriously? You bleached a kids hair? Being a parent is about saying no when your child’s whims have negative health and psychological effects. She wanted to have blond hair because of her blond mother (scratch that- bleach blond mother).

now Tori stop bleaching YOURS

tori and her family stopped by my store a few months ago. the kids were all so kind and well behaved. dyed hair or not, i’d say they are being raised very well.

I hope she at least chose a dye that doesn’t have as many chemicals.

OR…how about we stop sticking our noses in other people’s business and let them raise their child the way they want? It’s not like she is breaking the law.

oh good, so she is turning her kids into mini me versions of herself just like her whack job of a mother did to her. Talk about perpetuating child abuse. Now she is in debt and reduced to doing psychic commercials. what a joke.

who cares.
all your kids are going to get toasted because of global warming.
“Thanks for leaving me a SHlTTY PLANET mom!”

Didn’t know coloring your hair was a crime. And don’t bother spouting off about the harsh chemicals….WTF doesn’t have harsh checmicals in this world? Never saw a headline that read “Death by haircolor’!!!! SMH!

So many judge mental people! Big deal it’s hair will grow back. My mom never allowed me to do anything with my hair. So when I moved out I chopped it and started dyeing it. My daughter asked me if they color their hair and I let them it’s not a big deal. I did it myself and it was an often thing. I let mine 10 year old get pink on the bottom of her hair. It was fun. Pick your battles and this one isn’t a big deal.

Where is the broke can’t pay her bills Tori getting $ for hair dye?
her daughters are modeling? Can their folks live off them?

7 is awfully young. I started coloring my hair about 12, my mom didn’t let me I just did it, and got into a lot of trouble, still kept doing it. My daughter wanted to perm her hair and color her hair at this age but I said no, she finally colored it for the 1st time about 2 years ago at 14. It is a parents choice, and it isn’t permanent it just seems silly and vain for a child so young, but she is in Hollywood. I guess it could be worse she could have let her pierce her belly button or something a little more extreme and long lasting.

Sorry she is too young. My mom wouldn’t let me dye my hair until I was old enough to pay to fix it, cause she said “you will ruin your hair then want me to pay to get extensions and I am not doing that”. So when I was 17 with a job I was allowed to dye my hair. Guess what? Didn’t want to dye it anymore. The point of being a parent is to tell them no because it is good for them, not give in because they are just so curious. Plus she could have used wash out sprays or chalk to do something cute with no chemicals. My rule for my future kids.. no chemicals on your hair until your 18 and can pay for it yourself lol

Hopefully, Stella won’t ask if she can smoke crack.

It is hair dye not a tattoo. Her daughter, her choice! Pick your battles and don’t sweat the small stuff life is too short!

Why is she saying “Summer Break”? It’s March????

Seriously, who cares. In today’s society, kids of all ages are expressing themselves in different ways. This isn’t abusing the child in any way and it’s not a choice you have to make, so shut the f*** up about other people living how they want to live.

She did it for the summer break? Ummm, It’s only March Tori.

@Michele King: First you said, “Yes, hair color is not permanent, but the chemicals in hair dye can, and do get absorbed by the scalp.” Then you said, “Also, seven years old is a little young to be giving in on harmless requests such as these. ” And, “. . . . .it is easier to give in to the things that do not cause permanent harm.” So, even though the chemicals in the dye can be and do get absorbed by or in the scalp it is harmless and would not cause permanent harm? I’m confused. I was almost agreeing with your pot until I got to that part.

I just don’t understand the attitude …. I am not saying she is a bad mum but she is certainly lost some values….

“That’s just part of being in the public eye.”

First of all, dummy, you could get out of the public eye any time you choose. You’re the one going on all these stupid reality shows and then you beg for your privacy? And if you don’t want to be in the public eye-quit posting pictures of yourself, your husband and your kids all over the place.

Secondly, you’re a MOTHER! If my seven year old wants to dye her hair, I would say no. If she asks why, it’s a simple: “Because I am your mother and I said no. You are beautiful just the way you are and don’t need to change how you look.”

It’s called being a parent. Look it up.

Ok – I really don’t care that she dyed her daughter’s hair – parents can do whatever they want. Only problem with it, is that hair dye is EXTREMELY toxic and causes cancer. I would never expose my daughter to that – especially even before puberty. If she wanted to use a toxic free option – go ahead. Of course, most people aren’t aware about all the chemicals they douse their bodies in every day – so she’s not really to blame.

She’s only 7 and got it out of her system? This is the craziest thing I’ve ever heard. What else does this poor kid want to get out of her system and will Tori allow it? She bleached the poor kids hair to pornstar blonde.

She could have told her daughter that her hair is such a beautiful color that she couldn’t bear to dye it. Hair dye on a tender young scalp can have bad side effects. I wouldn’t have done it. What next? Tattoo, piercing? I wouldn’t have let her do it until she was 15 or more…and even then I’d push for gentle highlights instead of a full on dye job.

She dyed her daughter’s hair? so does gwen stefani dyed her sons hair.

What’s the drama about dying hair? Is there something I’m missing?

It seems totally harmless and fun to me.

So what. Big deal. Woopdeedoodle! Children have been dying their hair for centuries. And piercing their ears. And arguing with their parents.

People there are worse things a parent can do!

Carry on Tori! 😊

She’s a moron.

Hollywood.

Tori, The Gift of No is a great article that you may benefit from reading. Children need limits and expect them from us. She is 7!

She is making her daughter like herself to bleach and re-bleach hair over and over.

When my brother was 8 years old he wanted to get her ear pierced. My dad took him and let him get it done when he was 9 years old because he caught him trying to do it to himself with a safety pin. My brother wore that earring until he was about 17 years old. He is now in his 30’s, married with a great wife and 3 kids and works for Berkshire-Hathaway. He is honestly the most together of all of us kids.
I would rather let her go and get her hair colored so that it’s done by someone who knows what they are doing than have her go to a friends house and try to do it herself.

Why would a child that young even think about hair dye, peroxide and changing their hair color? My children at that age were not obsessed with their appearance. They were happy to play outside, ride their bikes, go exploring, swimming and enjoyed family travel adventures. These Hollywood kids are doomed with such air heads for parents who are only concerned about how they look and are not taught values or stressed education to develop their minds.

Sure Tori, or you bleached her hair so they looked alike in the modeling gig. I guess someone in that family needs to make some dough!

who watches these desperate tori shows?

So now she’s dyeing her kid’s hair for publicity and having the kids model to bring in the $$$$?

When will Tori hit bottom?

She stripped her 7 year old’s hair of its natural color? Wth??

Hair dye has chemicals – what an idiot. It is my guess that now she will try to get her kids some modelling or show biz gigs to cure her money woes.

For god’s sake she is too young to have hair to bleached blonde!

For summer break? Only early March now

Oh, It is alright to tell your child they are transgender, but not alright to let them dye their hair. Bull.

The picture/ modeling happened last year. As she said, over summer, she agreed and the modeling followed.

Tara, I wish I could say what I want.

No big deal! It’s just hair color that will grow out. I
Would have been tempted to frost my daughter’s hair
Because that’s what I’ve done to mine for decades!

Quit criticizing; none of us are perfect parents. Every one if us can pick apart another parents decision. She is not the first child to get a dye job and she won’t be the last.

She does anything to have a short moment in the news. Disgusting. She should have her husband get a real job, he is a lazy con.

Tori clearly doesn’t know the meaning of setting limits with her kids. So if stella wanted to start dating or eat chocolate for every meal, would that be ok too?? You don’t let kids do anything they want just to “get it out of their system”.

It’s hair dye, people. She didn’t dye it green, it’s less permanent than pierced ears, and it was for modeling purposes. There are kids that shave their heads for broadway and nobody says a word. This is becoming a bigger deal because it’s Tori Spelling. There are do many other things to be concerned about .

Here’s a suggestion Tori, dye your hair black and change your last name to Kardashian. Get what I’m sayin?

It’s just hair color. Not permanent. I probably wouldn’t do it to a 7 year old, but it’s not as if it’s child abuse. From all accounts her kids are polite and well adjusted, and that’s what matters.

It’s one thing to throw some temp hair color like the pink stuff that washes out than the stuff that is semi permanent and fries your hair. A 7 year old shouldn’t need to get anything out of their system lmao. She should be playing with barbies and watching cartoons.

The comment section is hilarious. This is the age of helicopter parenting; let us censor our kids, tell them”because I said so” without giving a reason. Newsflash, many kids already have a solid hook of what’s going on in the world, and saying that seven is just too young to know what they want is ridiculous. While you do draw the line where you feel comfortable as a parent, don’t sit there and blast another for something silly like a dye job. No one is a perfect parent, and I would encourage your ALL to turn your attention to the more serious things our kids are dealing with nowadays, like bullying, depression, mass school shootings, etc.
