My son who is now 8 wanted (and still does) a mohawk when he started first grade (which means he was 6). I seriously considered letting him have one too. The reason I said no, was not because I felt it was ridiculous for a 6 y.o. to have one, but because I didn't want problems with people (namely the school staff) who might. He never asked about dying it blue, however I don't see what the big deal is, it's only hair. I think that if the parents did not give permission to the principal to wash the dye out, then the kid and parents deserve an apology, nothing more, nothing less.
