I’m years old and its summer vacation, so of course i want to do something crazy. I asked my mom about months before school ended if i could dye my hair a crazy color and she was very open minded about it, letting me try different colors in my hair until we found the right one. Last week i finally mentioned i like this one blue we tried, but she told me that she didn’t want my hair one color because i need to start looking professional. I didn’t want to argue so i said ok but i would really like some tips on how to talk her into it or convince her. And please don’t just tell me to do it without her knowing i don’t feel like losing her trust.

Just a note- its admirable that you aren’t just saying screw your mom and doing what you want. I would say talk to her about doing some bold streaks and not just an all over color. Either that or do the bottom half a solid color and leave the top half natural.
Having all over color can prevent you from getting jobs unless you are willing to change it so I understand where your mom is coming from. I currently have blue hair and shaved sides and although I present myself in a “professional” way in many other aspects and have been willing to change my color, I haven’t been able to get the jobs I have wanted.
When a mom says no, she means no. You can’t change her mind. And at almost you need to start being a little but more grown up. But ask for a nice compromise with a temporary blue streak.
You could always just dip dye it with koolaid. You really cannot do anything about it. You can try sitting down with your mom and talking about it. Maybe write a persuasive letter. Give her reasons why you want it done and why it is important to you. JUST DO NOT DO IT BEHIND HER BACK!!!
Try finding something temporary and let her know its a temporary dye;)
Try to just do highlights or your ends. Ask her if thats ok.
You can temporarily dye it blue using the chalk stuff. (・ω・)ノ
