Back in October I wanted to do something crazy with my hair so I found an awesome salon in Houston that put some streaks (conventional demi-permanent or so she said) on the sides just under the canopy--red on the right and purple on the left so you could just see them down and see them well pulled back.
Here's a shot of my normal hair color and you can just see the tiniest bit of the very faded purple on my side (and my first fare-isle knitting project--skull and crossbones cuff and a bit of my tattoo on the other wrist):

I loved the streaks--but it was pricey and the upkeep and damage it would cause in the long run was not my favorite so I decided to streak it with henna ( I like my original hair color too much to totally cover it with henna and I don't have the complexion for all-red).
Here's the ubiquitous back shot:

Here's a front-shot that shows the streaky-ness:

And here's a side-shot:

I really like how it turned out! I think I might reapply a couple of times to see if I can get it a bit more red and less coppery as well. It was kinda fun.
