Would you ever dye your friend's kid's hair blue?

First Let me say I do have his parents permission. I would never do something like this without the parents permission. No matter how close our friendship.My friend's son is seven and he resently asked for a mowhawk. So his dad gave him one. He looks so cute with it. I made a comment to his mom about coloring the mowhawk. As it turns out her son did want to dye it. We asked him what color he wanted to dye it. He said blue. She's ok with the idea and talked to him about how different he'll look. He spent the night here last night and I talked just a little bit about it. Told him he'll look way differernt and it might shock his friends at frist. I didn't want him to feel like he had to only things his friends would like or not like. But I don't want him feeling hurt iether if the other kids say things about his hair. Most seven year olds are too busy watching cartoons or playing with toys to even think about their hair. Not this boy. He still does all the normal little kid stuff. But he's also alot more into his appearence than I think most young children are. Plus he's got the best attuide about himself. He's young but it's as if he already knows who he is, likes himself, and doesn't let the other kids bring him down. Wish I was more like him. lol. So now that you know a bit of the background story to my question. What do you think? He might seem more grown than most children at this age. But he is still a kid. (a really cool kid sporting a brand new mowhawk. haha)And he is not my kid. It's summer so the dye would be washed out before school starts. I'm just courious to see if I'm completely awful for suggesting and doing this to a friend's kid's hair.

Parents permission or not I wouldn't want to see any 7 year old with blue hair! My daughter was 16 and she did it herself and was grounded for 2 weeks. That may sound harsh punishment to some people but come on now...blue hair? Those parents must be crazy to do something like that. They are not taking into consideration what that child is going to go through. He will be made fun of for sure.

im the mother and im not crazy. we told her she can do it as long as it washes out by the time school starts. its summer time and we are letting him have fun and enjoy it. its only temporary its not something he will do all the time. if he decided he dont like it then his daddy will just cut his hair again and then he wont have the color or the mohawk. im just letting my son have fun during his summer vacation thats all. I know he's not worried about what the kids think in our neighborhood becasue the one kid has already seen it and made comments about it and my son didnt care. So if you still think im crazy then so be it... Im crazy :)
