A mum has been left outraged after her daughter showed up with highlighter pink hair after stealing the neighbour's dye. But rather than scold her 14-year-old for stealing, she slammed the neighbour for "encouraging" her to dye her hair an "immature" colour.
Taking to Reddit, the 25-year-old neighbour explained how the teenager, named Ann, pops over for a friendly chat from time to time. She said: "I have neon dyed hair that I change frequently and Ann is enamoured with it while her mum has commented it is 'immature'.
"Ann has asked me a few times to dye her hair and while I expressed that I was of the opinion that teens should be allowed control of their appearance, her mum’s opinions seemed pretty staunch and it might be a better idea not to touch her hair until she’s an adult."
