My daughter just got highlights this year, she will be 13 in October. She has no desire at all to wear make up. I know when I was at her age I was far beyond highlights, used to dye our hair with kool aide until we discovered manic panic, then there was the lets shave half of my head era. Also used India ink from art class to do a couple old school tattoos. All done by age 13! Also my husband says I should include a fact here, I grew up on the corner of Cox and Johnson! True Story!
