These days, hair coloring is like tattooing without the long term permanence. I would prefer to advise temporary dyeing (no matter what age) as a way to experiment with the different colors and learn about how you feel about it.

Your daughters very light blond hair makes this really easy to do. Go for it. Perhaps it will giver her an early feel into the transitional reality of appearance.

temporary dyes have a tendency to be kind of permanent on blondes, so IMO you either go for it or you don't ...but always remember -like P&me said- hair grows out. Summer break is the perfect time to play. We definitely see more rainbows and mohawks round here over the break
