These days, "Get Ready With Me" videos are a dime a dozen, but one mom has gone viral for involving her in the social media trend. Lottie Weaver, 31, uploaded a video to in May, and joy in her daughters' faces during their annual hair-dyeing session. "I try and do fun things with my girls, and dyeing their hair every summer has definitely become a tradition," the mom of three told .
In the clip, Berklie—who wanted red streaks—is the first to have her hair . Next, Weaver tried something new on her daughter Kinlee, as she preferred pink for her "money pieces"—the section of the hair that's brighter around the face—and the ends of her hair. "I've never done it like this, so we'll see how it turns out," Weaver said in the clip.
Her youngest, Hadley, was sick but didn't want to miss out on the fun. Weaver quickly went over her hair with the dye and put it in a net so she wasn't left out. Weaver, from Las Vegas, told that their hair-dyeing ritual was a great way to bond and be creative as a family.
"It's also great because it's not permanent, so it normally lasts about four to six weeks start to finish, and then their hair is their original color," she added. "We plan to do it next summer," Weaver said. Some Instagram users were "shocked" by the mother-daughter ritual, with particular focus on the amount of time the product was left in the girls' hair.
One user commented that it was "literally insane" to leave hair dye on for three hours. Another said there was "no way" they would dye their daughter's hair at a young age. However, other social media users praised Weaver for giving her girls this experience.
One wrote: "As a ginger, thank you for letting them dye their hair different colors and not tying their beauty to their hair their entire lives. My family still yells if I dye my hair and I am 22 years old. It's extremely damaging to your self-esteem and limited my creativity so much.
" A hairstylist also weighed in on the conversation and discussed the difference between a direct dye and an oxidative color. They wrote: "If it's straight from the jar with zero developer its basically pigmented conditioner y'all calm down. It will wash out by the end of summer and kids can be kids.
Don't restrict them so young when they grow up plenty of employers will tell them no, let them enjoy feeling beautiful." Weaver said of the online reaction that a lot of people loved her idea and were inspired to do the same with their kids. She added, "Many people are worried if it's permanent, which it's not, but I feel like collectively it's positive.
