[MBTI General] Have you ever dyed your hair an unnatural color?

[biohazard]

I've done: Purple black, Blue, purple, Red, Orange, and Blonde.
I naturally have black curly hair.

Black (Imagine that)

Dark Blue-Black. Red streaks. Blonde streaks. Blonde.

I'd like to try partially a dark joker like green sometime. Also dark purple. And eventually white or more likely black with white streaks. Just extreme creative ideas I may or may not one day do. But those aren't always acceptable in the work environment and all that, so ... probably will stick with just Black for a while, unless I let my hair go back to it's natural color but I get bored with the same thing for very long.

Maybe I'll just get a wig.

Yes, in my teens and early 20's. It's been blue, green, and purple.. It really damaged my hair because it's naturally black so I had to bleach the shit out of it.

when I was 16 I did purple and now my hair is dyed black

 

[Saturnal Snowqueen]

I did teal with purple ends once when I was 16. It didn't really suit me, maybe it was my skin tone(which is an olive shade). I can't even think of a unnatural color that would suit me. I think if I do dye my hair again, it'd be a shade of red mixed would my natural hair(so if I do a half up half down style, the ponytail would be red while the rest would be brown).

Yes

No Falcarius' distinctive outer plumage covering hair are naturally multicoloured; see avatar.

Five years ago in India, thanks to a distant cousin of mine taking me to one of her hair salon friends (to cheer me up), I had my hair cut in a funky little pixie with a huge dyed red streak on the longer side. I still fondly look back on that time as my “Indian rebel” experience.

Needless to say, Mom freaked out when my sister and I came back home. By then the dye had faded to a lovely chestnut brown. (It lasted for at least another year before I got my full original color back.)

Back when I was in my "It's not just a phase Mom" phase, I did it twice.

Here's how I looked, back when I wasn't opposed to having long hair or wearing makeup...

Pretty basic red.

Sorry about the shitty filter, but it was blue. Not as evident as the red against my black hair... but it was there.

Ooh that’s so cool - I can’t decide which one was better, they’re both awesome dye colors though! (Blue also happens to be my favorite color lol)

Does it count if I bleached it and blonde hair is unnatural for us African Americans? lol

In my late teens/early 20s:

Atomic pink, with black tips

Electric blue (up in liberty/punk spikes, I briefly picked up the nickname Sonic, ha)

Special Effects was the name of the brand. Semi-permanent, but kept pretty well.

My natural hair color is almost black, so I had to bleach it first. I would recommend going to a professional to do this, so you don't damage your hair too much (I went full DIY back then, burnt my scalp once).

@ The OP- if light pink is what you're after, search Google Images for "Special Effects dye Cupcake Pink." That may be what you're looking for.


Since about 2015, I've been rocking a L'Oreal Féria hair color that starts off a deep cherry unnatural red, then slowly fades to a rich, natural-looking auburn over the course of a month. It's like I get the best of both worlds. I didn't have to bleach my hair for this to come out nice & vibrant, so my hair's a lot healthier, these days.

If you go with home hair color, always check out reviews & frequently asked questions on that particular brand & shade.

4 yrs after this post— I stopped coloring my hair a year & a half ago, just because it was too much of a hassle/I couldn’t reconcile the monthly cost. All of my grays show up in my dark brown hair now, & I have a single streak of black hair at the front of my head, a birthmark. I used to hide it throughout elementary school by keeping my hair parted dead-center, because I’d been picked on for it, among other things. I’d honestly kind of forgotten about it. I love it now. It’d be cool if it remains darker than the rest of my hair when I’m fully gray in [probably] another 20yrs.



I actually find this natural mix of colors more ‘fun’ than the artificial ones I’d done in the past. It’s kind of witchy.

Nope. I hardly even comb it. My hair has a life of its own

 

[Earl Grey]

No, but it looks really amazing. eg; This guy's hair looks like grass growing out of soil. Not for me since I don't like green, but it looks really rad:

I wanted an ombre (?) style when I had long hair, but now that it's short, I'd love something subtle like this. It looks like a silvery-blue sheen:

 

[agentwashington]

I dyed my hair orange before.

 

[Faery]

I'd have to choose nearly every color on this list, but the color I had the longest was pink. Bleach blonde, red, green, turquoise, blue, purple, pink, brown, and black.
