Despite some trolls criticizing Demi for allowing her daughter to bleach her hair, the overwhelming display of love and support drowned out the negative comments.

One user fondly reminisced, “My mom did this to my hair, and I swear I was grown and on a league of my own. Cherish these moments!”Another reader from aPost defended Demi, stating, “I think this was a mom and dad going above and beyond to allow their daughter to express herself. And in a healthy way. Like the mom herself said – ‘there are really bad parent/child relationships out there…. to those mom-shaming her DO BETTER!’ Couldn’t have said it better myself. That little girl doesn’t need anyone’s tick of approval for what she wants to do with her hair except for her parents.”

Amid the controversy, Demi stood firm in her choice and provided further context for allowing her daughter’s hair transformation. In a subsequent TikTok video, she shared that she discussed the decision with her husband, who also supported the bleaching. She emphasized that she did not coerce her daughter into dyeing her hair.

Demi clarified, “So for those of you who are jumping to conclusions saying that this is my decision, and that I wanted her to be blonde in the family photos, that’s simply not true. I would never put that on my daughter and make her feel like she needs to change anything about herself.”

Ultimately, she urged everyone to do what felt right for them as mothers.
