i dyed my hair jet black.

who dyes their hair?

WELL YOUR ALL SINNERS!

I've thought about dying my hair to make it pure blonde again, but I've never really gotten around to it. My hair is blonde, but it's a dark shade. It was extremely light when I was younger, though.

I dye my hair quite regularly, to fit the mood, or just to go with the new style i'm adopting. I'm somewhat of a chameleon and like change... a lot.

I dyed my hair blue once. I have dark hair already, so I really only had a blue highlight. The looks I got made it worth nearly dying my face blue. :D

My hair is jet black now; I love it! How is it evil?

I used to dye my hair frequently, but I outgrew that. Now I dye my goatee because it comes in reddish-blonde and I have brown hair.

I don't really dye it, I just get highlights.

Sexy, sexy highlights. :D

I've streaked my hair blue. I look like Illyria from Angel.

You know it. ;)

And by the way....mmm...goatee....

Someday when I get up the motivation, I'm going to dye my hair and goatee brunettte, wear dark sunglasses and walk around in a long dark coat.

Yeah, highlights are good. You just look quite silly when having them put in.

I already do that in winter time. :D

lmao, outstanding.

No offense, but I have to say I like the picture of you with longer hair. Very hot.

About every 3 to 5 weeks, depending on my mood, my hair color will range from Strawberry blonde to a dark dark dark red that's so dark it's almost black, but has these really hot red highlights...

Dude. What? Where is this picture? Longer hair?

Oh, and if you reply, dedicate the post. It could be a milestone.

It's in her photo album. I won't say how to get her photo album, in case she doesn't want people to see her hotness.

I'll dedicate my 12,000th post to DerFuhrer Dyszel, because she's such a dork. :D

That's cool. Thought I was missing a thread somewhere. Ah well. Congrats by the way.

aw I want to see a picture!!! I'm sure it looks great. But I'm really going to miss your original color. :( it was loverly. *holds wake for Jhen's old hair*

While I, personally, would not change my body even enough to get contacts (for reference, wearing my glasses is "showing off my bling), the guy quoted in my sig as becoming adopted dies his hair to a beautiful effect, which might affect me if I weren't juggling two men who's IQ's might combine to be equal to the only guy who I've ever given two shits about (currently out of HS two years and a year away from getting his masters at CMU).

I went through a phase when I had bright red streaks in my hair. Since my hair is black, my history teacher started calling me "the anarchist." Maybe he's a prophet?

Then I had furiously magenta streaks. That was awesome.

I need to dye my hair. I was thinking of a single streak on one side, dying it blue maybe. The problem is I have REALLY long hair now.

Purple is always extra hot. Go with a darker purple; it'll blend with your black hair nicely.

Yellow, orange, red, very very red, purple, blue, back to red...

Just dark brown and bright blond stripes at the moment.

Oh yes, purpleblack is very nice. (not for me though :( )

Just don't do completely purple. That makes you look stupid, unless your name is Billy Connelly.

what is with that beard eh?

What's the point? I think it's a waste of time, but that's just me.

Now that I think about it, I did want to soak my hair in red food coloring about a year ago. I thought better of it, though.

I don't have much to dye. I keep my hair very short.

hehe, I've done it few times (halloween etc) It's a bit messy but works just fine.

Ditto. I'm not a back or a winger, therefore don't have long hair.

I'll definitely try the food coloring thing. That is, when I move away from home. I don't know what my dad would do to me...

The only problem is that it colours everything. Your hair is the last place which will be coloured...Cover everything, use a lot of moisturisers on your skin etc. It comes off easily, so if it goes horribly wrong you're not going to suffer from it more than few days.

Yeah, I hear that it's very frustrating to use. I'd do it as a gag, really :D.

Or you could get a semi permanent dye like Fudge...

I hate having black hair, I have to bleach it beforehand... *mutters*

Yes, become a peroxide bimbo. Why not?

Natural is always better kids. Always.

Um, I don't bleach my whole head.

I don't think I could be a bimbo if I tried.

And dying my hair is a bit of fun and self expression; why the hell not?

Those don't usually change the colour of your hair completely. If you want bright green, blue or anything like that you have to use permanent dye (and suffer from the fading greyish blue, not nice) or -use food colouring! Cheap and entertaining :D

My hair is so blond that I always have to dye it twice before the result is noticable enough.

Yeah. It was more a general comment, spurred by the trio of cackling chavettes passing outside my window as I viewed this thread. No offense intended.

Fudge... Hmm. What happens when you're on vacation, and you've gotten to your hotel, and as you begin to open your toiletry bag... You notice something's missing. You call to your wife, "Honey, did you forget to pack my fudge?".

Odd, I've used them before, and gotten a really great, bright result, maybe because my hair was lightened to a sort of gold colour with the bleach? The only downside is that I needed to redo it every couple of weeks.
And... nah, I'll pass on food colouring ;). Too much hair anyway!

I figure I've also got too much hair for food coloring. It would probably come out looking splotchy and screwy...

...Wait a minute, that might look cool.

Conviniently, just as the maid opens the door, and the hotel manager is walking past with his wife and young daughters.

Although they probably wouldn't get the connotation...

But horrifying old people is fun! :p

I'm sure it is, but I've never gotten the chance!

*shakes fist*

I've dyed mine blue for the moment, might try purple next

Bleaching does help a lot. But I don't want to do that because it ruins your hair. And as you said, it needs to be redone to often.
I wouldn't bother with food colouring either (anymore). It was funny back then but I don't have any reason to do it anymore. I very rarely even dye my hair. Just stripes or highlights.

:( I used to have extremely blond hair but now it's getting darker and darker. I'm turning into brunette. (not quite) That happens to almost all blondes.

Mine is (and was) about 50-60cm. It's not a problem but ask a friend to help you with it.

Same here. My hair's not gotten darker in the past few years, and you can still see blonde highlites. I think the darker shade looks more distinguished.

And, I've got the blonde bonus: Ultra-thick hair. Well, it's a bit of a double-edged sword. My showers take forever... Sometimes even 45 minutes! Thick hair kicks ass and sucks it at the same time.

My hair was super-blonde as a kid, then it naturally got darker, then it got even darker cos I don't go out in the sun enough (not a summer fan :p ). So I dye it blonde occassionally. Then I go and pick a random coloured dye (pinks my favourite atm) and get my best mate to dye random parts of my hair (she works at Toni and Guy, which is pretty useful :D Free hair stuff!!)

Hell yeah

I'm trying to remember when on earth I showed a picture of me with longer hair? I usually keep it just a touch longer than the one in the picture thread, but not much. That pic is from about the time I got back from training this summer, where I kept it really short out of necessity.

No hair to dye. Used to, last time it was a steel-blue 15cm long flat. Maximum ever was a mohawk with eight colours.

It's a picture of you from freshman year. It's a grainy photo, but your hair is longer and blonder.

Honey, I've had my hair every colour... Apart from the natural brown it's been:
Red, Copper, Blonde, Green, Turquoise, Blue, Purple, Pink and Black.
I really trashed my hair in my teenage punk days... Now I just use coloured wool. Brighter colours, no roots and doesn' t wash out!

Ah, I remember now. Ya, I did look pretty good in that pic. :p

Sadly, the Irish are a people who I am convinced are not destined to have nice hair. Keeping it shorter keeps some of the "lion's mane" effect in check.

McLeod, here's (http://www.users.muohio.edu/kennykw/pubimage.jpg) the pic he was talking about.

Nonsense, your hair looks gorgeous in that picture. :)

Although, I do know what you're speaking of. My two roommates are 100% Irish, so I see the "lion's mane" effect quite frequently.

hahahha. this thread is funny. i , for the record have dyed my hair since the fourth grade. the blue dye got me thrown out of school for a week, and really pissed off my parents. since i was born with this awesome black hair, that got wicked light as i got older, i have been at war with it ever since i was 9. right now, its jet black, and dark green. favorite hair ever? blue , black and red 14 inch liberty spikes in the ninth grade.
for the record, if you do it right with professional grade products, and use very good conditioner after, bleaching doesnt ruin your hair. (the home kits from the drug store will thrash it) i have done it for almost 20 years now, and my hair is great condition.

Ahhhh AWESOME! I think my first post has been ignored, cuz ppl were talking about natural dyes at the time, but I've got my hair streaked blue, cuz that's my favorite color! It looks a lot like Illyria from Angel, even my natural hair color is very close to hers. See, this is her:
http://home.planet.nl/~daoud010/fok/illyria.jpg
My hair is actually a bit healthier than hers, though.

I DON'T use professional grade products, just cheap stuff from some "black" store around here, cuz they don't have cool hair dye in mainstream stores 'round here. I have to redo it every couple of months. I tried professional hair dyeing, but it cost $120 and it only lasted 6 months! This way I save about $15 a month, and my mom will gladly pay for it. Heh. I'm homeschooled, so I don't have to worry about the Nazi dress code student rules of conduct crap. *Giggles hysterically.*

I've streaked my hair torquoise blue, deep blue, light blue, BLUE BLUE BLUE! I had this thing going for a while where I had a little red and gold in, and it looked pseudo-patriotic. :D I think next I'm going to do red and black, if I can let go of my obsession with the color BLUE! NOT LIKELY! :p

tcha...I love my crazy hair. I hate gel and have no desire to dye my hair. Also I have mangey (Irish) hair. Add that to a full beard that I am sporting for my exams, its I am going for a wolf man jack appearance. I am going to miss it when I have to shave for the summer, and cut my hair.

My mom never let me dye my hair, ever! she always said the basic crap that "god wanted your hair that way" but now that i'm in college i dye my hair all the time... i know... i'm a rebel, i recently dyed my hair black and i love it...

My advice: whatever your favorite color is, bleach your hair to where it is so blonde it's almost WHITE, than use Kool-Aid to die your hair your favorite color. I hear that it washes out easily, but it may rub off on furniture and stuff.
