Hair idea

[jennythereader]

So I'm toying with doing something utterly un-natural to my hair.

At the same time, I don't like the idea of doing anything too drastic.

The comprimise I've come up with is to get highlights (or would they be lowlights?) in a dark color that hair does not normally come in. Maybe a deep purple-ish red, or a very dark blue.

What do you guys think?

My only concern is that you talk to your work and make sure it is okay before doing it. Not that they need to give you permission, but some types of jobs frown on their employees having crazy hair colors or visible tattoos or crazy amounts of piercings.

As for the idea on a whole, I guess I'm the negative nelly here. I just look at the idea of blue or, what I'm assuming, is not a natural red color but a more crayola type of dark red, as being something teenagers do. For some reason I feel like there is this age that, when you do things like that, it's like your trying to relive some part of your teenagers years that you missed out on. I'm not, in the least, saying that you are old. I just remember being a kid and dying my hair purple or blue sounded awesome but the limit was 'not until you are 16'. And when I was, I did it so much, streaks various colors... until the novelty wore out and I grew out of it. If I want color, it would not ever be a desire for permanent. I would grab one of the clips you put in your hair so you can enjoy the streak for a convention or what not and then take it out again. But... that's me, my opinion, and it does not at all need to follow yours.

That being said, if you really want to do it, I will still support you. I think the purple red would be a little less intrusive than the blue.
