The Month I Went Red....(pics)

Another post just for fun!

I don't think I ever got a chance to share on here when I went redhead...

I've always wanted to be a redhead, but I am also fond of my natural color. So, one day I randomly decided I would experiment. I grabbed a willing friend and (3 bottles of) semi-permanent dye. The bathtub looked like a scene from a horror film. I was so scared because I had virgin hair and whatnot. I was worried if I'd look ridiculous with this new color. It was crazy to see how people responded differently to me when I had the red hair as opposed to the blonde hair. Ultimately the color lasted for about a month, but I'm thinking about doing it again sometime just or kicks. Haha.

As the color washed out, I had this:

(Sorry I don't have better pics!)

Anyhow, I was wondering if any of you have ever dyed your hair another color on a whim? Feel free to post pics!

Also, if you've had different hair colors, have you ever noticed people treated you differently? If so, how?

Your hair is so pretty. What color did you use? I wonder if it would tint my dark hair any. I dont want dark red, just the copper blond kinda like yours..

Well thank you! Let me get back to ya on that one, I can't exactly remember, but I picked it up at a Sally's....and it was like a combination color so that's why I picked it! I used it on my little sister who has darker hair than me and she got this result (kinda tinted):

(I don't know if the picture is really clear, but yah....)

Very nice! It does suit you! Is your avatar you? Is that what you currently look like because I like the brown on you in that case.

My bangs, ends and two stripes of my hair up front are bleached (yeah, yeah, I know) and usually blue or, occasionally, purple. I *do* get reactions from it, but to my amazement and delight...

The reactions I get most are from older people coming up to me with absolute *delight* at the color. I've never been approached and chatted at by more people - but most of them are in their 70s and 80s. It's just... wonderful.

My avatar is me! My hair is a dark blonde, but in that picture it looks brown because of some filter. My hair color is actually more like my signature pic!

But thank you! I experimented with brown semi-permanent and for some reason it washed out in pretty much one day!

Compared to my natural color, which is more like:
