Just wanted to clarify I do not let her watch hanna montana!I suspect this may have something to do with why a 7-year old would want to dye their hair blonde.

In addition to the chemicals damaging the hair, it is also not good for the brain (yes, I know that sounds crazy). It is best to stay away from artifical stuff on the head. If your daughter wants to lighen her hair, she can do what I and my sisters did, we put lemon juice in our hair. It did no damage, and added a nice shine. We also used to put a raw egg on our hair for conditioning, and tea if we wanted it to be a bit darker. It really didn't change the color, but it did give the hair a nice shine.
Really? Those things work? I've heard about mayonnaise and coconut oil but never lemon juice. I may have to try that. And I love the Lord too!
Jwright, perhaps your daughter just wants to play dress up? Get her a wig and perhaps that will satisfy her curiosity.
(I dye my hair. I love the ways of the Lord.)
Is she trying to look older? cooler? prettier? I would want to address the heart issue.
Let me know if the pictures arn't working.
The rule with our daughter is that once she hits puberty, she will be allowed to decide for herself about such things as dying hair, makeup, piercings, etc. It helps her to know the day is coming when she'll be able to do that, and she's accepted the rule as reasonable.
Well, it is good for a young lady (but not a young man) to recognize that there is something special about her (his) hair:
1Co 11:15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.
If you decide against dying hair, perhaps because of this verse (I am not saying either way, because I haven't thought about it):
1Ti 2:9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
...then at least you can in some other way encourage a Biblical view that a woman's hair is beautiful and special.

So, it sounds like you have a good opportunity here to encourage your daughter with the deeper principle.
