Guess what colour I dyed my hair

I dyed my hair today. Had to do it several times before I got it sort of how I wanted but in any case I persevered through the pain of lifting my arms and gritted my teeth at the agony of bending over the bath with the shower attachment and my hair is now a lovely shade of.....violet. I'll say it's for Fibromyalgia Awareness lol

ha we must av all been at it, ive just gone from bloned to my natural boring brown.... I did it to make myself feel better. The blonde drained the colour out of my face, which is quite pale of late feeling so ***tty for so long, my new dark matches the bags under my eyes, thanks to the lack of sleep over the last 6 weeks. But ive played safe and used a up to 8 washes lol. Ive had a rhianna red under cuboard to weeks and dont have the guts to do it lol.

Hi

Please do not apologise for any spelling or typing mistakes as without the spell checker I would be hopeless.

I used to be so proud of my spelling and grammar but these days since I got this iMac all the keys play every night and i an sure they don't always get to the right place every morning, plus I am getting this problem of as i am typing my fingers suddenly think they will type that letter so there is a lot of backspace use.

Sometimes i type it out in word and cut and paste as it is much easier.

Love the typos Terry.

I couldn't send my efforts through without first checking. I am sure as you say the keys have a dance at night and all change places as I type utter rubbish sometimes.

Cake Tare to you and dinkest gerards!!!!!!!!

Love and hugs Saskia XX

I love it, too, Moffy. It really tickled me.!!

Terry will never live that one down. I am always transposing letters too and some words bear no relation to what I have thought I have typed.

Keep smiling! Saskia XX

The Neice (who lives with us) has gone pink on the ends...and so has the bathroom!!!!!!

Shes 13, and when she moved in with us last year she straightened her afro hair and dyed it blond (went orange, though). It looked OK, however - in keeping with the trends (!!!), and hairdresser ok'd the condition of her hair as still being good, so last week we said she could crazy-color it, as long as her friends who have had colours hadn't got into trouble at school.

Well, it looks really good now to say, but it washes out quickly, so next time we'll have to get the bathroom covered in clingfilm before she starts!!! :-)

(Half of me is hoping that the novelty will wear off before then, tho.....).

We must have all been bent over baths last week and suffering sore necks and arms, I did mine on fri night, blond was draining my face as I am pale, so went back to dark reddish brown, it's a little more red than I'd wanted....so not sure if I like it....don't want to go light again though, makes me look like a ghost!

Ooo sounds lovely one of my friends had purple and green streaks in her hair and I loved it but I'm not brave enough to do it myself - she did it to cover her grey and I think it was a great idea. Now you'll have to buy a new outfit to go with the violet hair!!!

Hi everyone who dyes their hair ,, I due mine too,, I've managed to get a organic range off amazon ,, I'm lucky just out it on dry hair and wash it off in the shower easy no toxic fumes no bad reaction no burning my scalp with chemicals and it doesn't have any smell heee x

Would be really interested in hearing results of using any sort of organic colour. I have really cut back on colouring mine after realising the toxins involved - but the grey is fighting through!

tried one but it was total cr.. and left no colour at all after rinse!!!

there must be a huge market for someone to market hair dye without toxins - but you dont hear much or see much advertising. Any ideas please?

I dyed my hair red/chestnut for years, then decided to just let the grey grow through. But something a friend said prompted me to dye it again. Red of course. But I wanted something a little bolder, so I bought that new dye...sounds like Olay!! Deep red! And I love, love, love it!! XXX

in reply to sue32

Is that the new oil based one, is it good? My hair gets dry after colouring so think it might be better. I'm getting used to my red now and everyone loves it! It's called deep reddish brown but the red is quite deep but at the same time bright, especially in the light.

Wonder are we all going red to let of a little of the anger we can sometimes feel;-)

Well I've used it twice now Mary and I really love it. I've always gone for a ledd obvious colour but I decided to rebel and go mad!! The colour I use is 'Deep Red' and I love it, and everyone who's seen it thinks it's great too. I would tell anyone to give it a go, and you get a huge tube of conditioner with it too!! XX

if your on my keyboard you will be typing wrong, as its not a british keyboard. i have a z where the y is and a y where the z is. the thing is if you want a y you have to type where the y should be instead of where it is, and the same for the z.

everybody confused yet? lol

Hey "dye hard Fibros" i haven't been on for a while due to change over on broadband.I'll tell you i hate dying my hair,i end up being absolutely lifeless afterwards not only that i come out the shower the same colour as my dye hence dread the thought of green or purple allover, i can't bend over the sink or the shower so i have to get in the shower to wash it off.i wish i had the nerve to let it go grey or something like that,something that will look fresh without looking older that would do for me.jacksiex.
