to dye or not to dye......

[Sweet]

Sorry to add such an insignificant topic here.....

....been craving a change.....

..I've been a mousey brown/blonde forever..... sorta a light brown.....

...... I think it would be fun to go to an extreme (if only temporary) with a deep red, total black, or super light blond....

......my natural hair color is a very light brown

.....I have very light colored skin

....and deep blue eyes..........

I think I am really ready for an extreme change, anyone wanna give me some encouragement or dissuasion or some kinda "unusual" suggestions...

BTW... I am over 40, and am secure as to where I am.

I really think it would be fun to do something drastic just for the fun of it. Any color would probably look better than my current mousey blonde....

....also my personality is typically on the shy side.....

....and my hair is on the long to very long side.....

Just asking for some opinions..... any and all are appreciated!!!!!!!!

Black with pale skin and blue eyes? Sounds like a plan.

Well without a picture it will be hard to tell imo.

All of those choices can be good.

Red is the most "extreme" one, and to bring out the best you probably will have to change hair style (this will likely including taking a part from your hair off) and to bring out the real effect you will have to wear some make up, matching that red.

If you use somewhat more extreme colours then you just don't want to leave it at that.

In any case it's not really the hair color what's the problem i think, but i believe it's more the style, you say you got long hair, and i'm under the impression that you can do very little with, and if you can then it will take a long time to get it in the right shape, so getting a real haircut will do the trick.

If that doesn't do the trick then just take a razor and shave it all off.

Ok Whir, Black does sound good......

....gotta go to a prof salon to dye the brows the same (ifn dey even do dat...)

thanks for the reply.....

Deep red or even burgandy hair with your light skin and blue eyes would be cool. But then blonde and blue is a pretty combo too. Whichever you chose, go for it and have some fun.

Ahh, Sir Gohan...... there is truth to what you say.... I always keep my hair up and safely bundled. I amaze myself with the length but am always dissappionted because it is not as "long as it use to be" "ie.sit on" but is is long enough to be caught in a car window....

....ok.... I might shave all... BUT before I go to that extreme, I'd really, really like to try out the others like total black or red or platinum blonde.........

...and if I do ever shave me head, it would not be all, cuz I'd want a big ol mohawk for my satisfaction.....LOL ROTFLMAO.....

...and I promise ..... pics to come.......

[GohanSSJ]

Well make sure you got 1 from before, and after.

Or just try them all, and then post the pictures in a poll, and we all vote which is best.



You also could trying something like green or pink.

Thanks Atomic Rooster,
A deep red or burgundy is something to consider. (Better than a mohawk...lol)
.....I've been blonde, or brown touching blonde my whole life.

I keep thinking that going black is too gothic and going platinum is to aged........

...and oh my, yes I am terribly guilty of cutting my own hair......

(this being Veteran's Day...maybe I should've tried RWB for a bit)

[Sweet]

Mmmmm.... green is easy... just go underwater in a chlorinated water source....

Now Pink, Hmmm... might have to see some sweet ol ladies because I think platinum can change to pink hair........

Now I am open to the possibilities of a wierd streaked color.....

and BTW..... keep this topic secret from my proginy "goatman2288" cuz his might be biased...... lol

Maybe you can experiment using a digital photograph and an image editing program.

Scroll through different colors.

(And maybe post some results here so we can vote. ---OK, OK, just a thought.)
