Okay, so I have nearly three weeks off coming up. No public professional performances and I'm thinking of playing with my hair color. No one has seen my natural color in I dunno, 20+ years? My current color is kinda honey blond and I LIKE it a lot. All I do is use Sun In when it starts to get dull looking to me, easy peasy.

My husband prefers dark hair.

My daughter sees me as a red head.

I like purple.

So any suggestions on the best way to do this and get it back to my current norm all in three weeks?

Thanks,

Fury

Because of boredom, a need for change, etc!

Hair is one of the easiest things a woman can change about herself (besides her clothes). I LOVE my natural hair color - light blonde - but it's also been pink, blue, bleached, and highlighter yellow. Okay, so the yellow was an accident and the blue faded to icky green, but the facts don't change. Playing with your hair color is a lot of fun.

I'm glad you were happy with the purple, Furry, cuz that can be a tricky, tricky color, especially in blonde hair. Now that you've done blonde, funky, and brunette-ish, you can answer the old question about who has more fun for us!

Good luck!

If you want to try the Kool-Aid, get the packs that dont have the sugar in them. Just make it like a paste and put it in your hair.

But to warn ya. I did that before with Cherry Koolaid, and it wouldnt come out. I ended up growing my hair out some and then cutting it off.

I was told that Koolaid washes out, well it didnt for me.

I think the main thing that made it stay in my hair so long is that it was dyed before hand and it wasnt in the best shape.

I had my hair almost every color. The one time we mixed two colors together and it turned GRAY. I told my mom (who owns her own beauty shop) to get rid of it now. So I think we ended up bleaching it out....

I would love to start dyeing my hair again, but hubby dont like that.

id liket o be really really red lol... anyway.. gl, with the colors.. oh, and a side note.. make sure you get a relaly good deep conditioner to put on... make sure you get an at least 3 minute one.. or if your really energetic, theres of course, the cholestorol treatments -- anyway.. gl.. keep us informed!

Thanks 5pintshefound!

I will do that! Got to go shopping. You know what surprises me the most so far is that my makeup still looks okay with this hair color. I sort of thought I'd have to do something different there.

Love to see your red!

*hugs*

So I tried to change the color of my hair back from Red to Blonde. After it dried I could see that the roots were still red. I didn't worry about it much because no one has commented on the red at all except my husband and kids.

So the next time I washed my hair I did the Sun In thing figuring that would goose it up to blonde but no, it's redder.

Fine with me, it looks great regardless to me so I wasn't too concerned but, then my Mom called.

*cue the scary music here*

So we are talking, all is fine. Okay it's my Mom it's not fine, it's more like everyone is miserable and dying but normal.

Suddenly she sweetly says, "Hey! I have an idea! There's something I'd like to do for you if you are interested."

Taking a deep breath, I ask her what.

"I want to pay for you to go to a really nice beauty salon and get your hair done, whatever you want, color, cut the works, I'll pay for it all! I put the check in the mail today if you agree."

"Well thanks that's very sweet of you but, as you know I don't enjoy such things and I don't have time right now, so I'm not interested, thanks anyway."

Then like a demon was speaking from inside her she let it fly.

"I HATE your hair right now!" She spat.

(Yay, that's so fun isn't it? Yep fun times with my Mom!)
