She skipped school to come with me to my appointment," Demi said."She was so excited and felt so big. All the foils in her hair – everyone was dying.

She's in her hair girly era."The hair stylist can be seen putting the chemical products on the hair and wrapped them in small aluminium foil papers.After a short wait, the stylist washes the product off the child's hair and blow drys it.Demi continued: "She [Maude] got so excited the minute she saw how blonde it was!"Bret brought us Starbucks and walked right past the room because he didn't recognise Maude."Such a fun day with my girl." But despite the joy of her youngster, viewers were split over the decision to bleach her hair.Some people said the chemicals used in bleach could be harmful to a five-year-old."Why not consider using clip-ins?

It's much safer than hair dye," one said and another wrote: "No sorry, I would never do that to my child."A third asked: "Why?"But others defended Demi, saying it was "not a big deal" and pointing out that the hair stylists did.
