yeah hes kind of a horrible asswipe but it happens. he also thinks ill end up hanging with bad crowds (i guess by association then the rape will occur??) but idk why id suddenly leave my rather large group of friends in favor of some bad influences just bc my hair is purple....????? dad science

tbh the main thing stopping me is cost. the risk of paying like 50$ to professionally potentially look like ass
 
I'm naturally blonde so I first dyed my hair when I was about 13 and my first colour was dark brown, I really loved dark shades on my hair despite being a bit worried at first since I'm fairly pale and the darker colours would wash me out. I kept my brown for about a year and dyed it black with different coloured streaks in the longer layers of my hair and I kept that for a good two/three years. Not long ago I bleached half of my hair to get half red and half black but because my red washed out really quickly I went purple so I'm currently half purple and black. c:
 
I've had green, blue, pink, bright red, black and rainbow hair. And brown since that my natural color. Right now it's brown but I have to say I'm a bit bored..

i've been rocking blonde lately but if i'm not blonde then i'm my natural colour which is a dirty blonde. i don't really think i suit anything else
 
My hair's dyed black. It was actually dyed on a whim for cosplay last year because I couldn't obtain a wig in time, I liked having black hair so it just stuck for almost a year now. I've considered getting my hair dyed blue or something but I don't know...
 
I'm naturally brown, but i've had black, chicken blonde, lavender, bubblegum pink, fuchsia, purple and now i'm platinum blonde (will be white in a couple weeks!)
 
My hair is naturally a medium brown color, and last year I dyed it a light whitey blonde on the top and left the sides brown and it was really cute! But then I decided to grow my hair out so it stared looking gross to me after a while so I got it dyed brown. It's been like 6 months since I dyed it back and the brown dye has extremely faded so my hair is like a light honey brown on the top now and I actually really like it! Sometime i want to try dying my whole hair blonde.
 
but, if i were to dye my hair, i'd dye my entire ponytail either white, green, or caramel
 
Do you guys color your hair, and if so do you have any color that you stick to?
Mine is freshly hot pink but I plan on just doing as much colors as possible this summer before school starts and I have to go back to blonde!

Hey :) i'm planning to experiment with my hair again c: i've been making a photo album of all the colors i've done so far (from years) i've done all the "natural colors" cx and many crazy colors cx i don't stick to a specific color and don't usually plan cx just randomly do cx

Have fun dying with your hair(: don't rebleach it while it fades out if you decide it's time to try another color c: you can actually dye another color over the fade--- here let me post a link to show what i mean cx

I'm a natural redhead and recently started coloring my hair with a demi-permanent dye (washes out in 4 to 6 weeks) to make it a little redder.
 
I dyed my tips a lighter color, so it's blond right now, but I'm planning to dye it a different color in the future. I guess I don't want to screw it up and color it a bad color, so I'm waiting for inspiration.
 
I've had basically every colour of the rainbow except orange.
Right now it's blond-ish (it didn't take very well since my hair was dark) but I'm gonna lighten it even more soon
 
lol no ive heard all the chemicals f*** up your hair, no thx!

I'm a hair stylist and it's true that dyes and lightener can both damage your hair if you don't use them correctly, and you do have to up your hair-care system if you choose to use a permanent dye or choose to lighten it because of the process your hair has to go through for its color to be altered, but it doesn't fry your hair when used correctly :3

If you're curious, the components of permanent haircolor are ammonia, peroxide, and dye intermediates (the synthetic pigment that colors your hair). The ammonia opens up the cuticle (which is the clear layer of overlapping scales that protect your hair and make it look shiny). Once the cuticle is open, peroxide (which is in the developer) dissolves the natural pigment (melanin) in the cortex (the layer of hair below the cuticle where natural and permanent artificial pigment is housed). Then in the last 10 minutes of processing time the dye intermediates enter the hair, and begin forming color molecules in the cortex that are too big to escape back through the cuticle (which is why permanent dyes are permanent).

After using a permanent dye or lightener, it's a good idea to use a shampoo & conditioner especially for color-treated hair. The shampoo will bring your hair back to it's natural pH, and the conditioner will close the cuticle again, helping your hair to retain color, prevent fading, to feel soft and smooth again and to look shiny. If you don't, and your hair feels rough after you've colored it, or lacks shine, it's because the cuticle is still open (an open cuticle, by the way, means rough feeling, easily tangled hair that can't retain moisture, and eventually becomes dry and brittle).

Permanent dyes and lightener aren't the only option, however. If you don't want to make your hair any lighter, and want, instead, to go darker or just to add some color to your hair without going lighter or darker, semi-permanent and demi-permanent dyes are an option. Semi-permanent and demi-permanent dyes don't contain ammonia, so the cuticle stays closed and the natural melanin isn't altered in any way. Instead, color molecules are lodged between the scales of the cuticle and will dislodge over time and wash out when you shampoo. Over time, the color will fade out and your hair will return to it's natural color (assuming you haven't already permanently altered your hair color). Semi-permanent dyes last 4 to 6 shampoos and demi-permanent dyes last 4 to 6 weeks.

No matter what you decide to do, have a stylist do it for you. Color is SO easy to mess up, and sometimes when you lighten your hair after dying it, left-over dye molecules will re-oxidize, meaning that if you dyed your hair pink 6 months ago, let it fade out and you lighten it, the pink can reappear. Stylists know how to address issues like this, but the average person, does not.
 
I dye my hair milk tea brown most of the time.
Currently it has a red tinge of color in it. I only had my hair dyed in brown, reddish shades and blonde before
My natural hair is black~
 
I love dying my hair. I dye it about once a year (my roots really show, however). the first couple years I had red, then a blonde underdye, then something closer to my natural hair color (my natural is brown), then copper, and now I'm hoping to go blonde pretty soon.

I stick mostly to natural hair colors when it comes to dying because I feel like I'm not one of those people who can pull off unnatural hair colors. The red I used was only a dipdye, so my brown was still present.
 
I colored my hair blonde, teal, purple, and pink all in the same year. Needless to say I had to buzz that sh once I was done LOL never again! But I dyed my hair black for years after, forgot my hair color, now I'm growing it out to see what color it is.
 
ill be 20 this fall, and im proud to have virgin hair. however, my mom started going gray at 18, so im watching mine and the first gray i see, ill dye it a pretty chestnut+auburn color. currently it is somewhere in between dirty blonde and light brown.
