Parents who hate your dyed hair?

I just recently dyed my hair blonde and my mother was extremely reticient at buying hair dye. She wanted me to go to a salon for it, which I would if I was getting high/lowlights but not this. So anyways, it ended up that I had to tone it and get new developer for the toner, but she outright refused to get any, and I even wanted to to pay for it. That means I had to use 30-volume developer when the instructions said 20-volume.

Luckily everything turned out good (I did a strand test before, too). I'm not into wacky colors--come on, i'm having enough grief from my mom about red, black, brown etc--or anything, hell I wanted to dye my hair black once and my mom was all worried. So, what can you say to someone about this?

Maybe parents think of a child dyeing his or her hair as a sign they don't like the hair they inherited from their parents?  Like what they gave you genetically isn't good enough?  Just a weird, random thought.
